/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I don't like sugar, can I trade in my soft drink for a share pass?

wow i bet these guys have great salads

>>13591144
what about borrowing or giving?

>>13591144
I think it would be unenforceable. Once the food is served it's yours to do with as you see fit, eat it, throw it on the ground, give it to a bum or share it.

>>13591164
Lending?

>>13591144
no sharing? no tipping.

>>13591144
> thinking private establishments can’t dictate terms of use of a product or service after sale.

>>13591144
what if I do takeout? can I shares then sirs?

>>13591144
>implying you've ever paid for a restaurant meal in your life

Unenforceable. If they ask you to stop, and you don't, they ask you to leave, and you do so without paying.

this is just like that curb episode except even dumber since it's not a buffet

also what's with amerifat restaurants pretty much forcing you to get a soft drink? does coca cola pay them for every ounce of fat you gain?

>>13591457
>being this much of a faggot bootlicker

>>13591227
if you and your buddy go in and order only one, they will refuse to serve you

HELLO! MY NAME'S...NINOOOOoooo!!

>>13592312
> thinking pointing out how reality actually is instead of indulging your daydream faggotry is bootlicking

>>13592342
the person who runs the kitchen nightmares youtube channel lurks this board

>nino
Loser restaurant

>>13592308
Sort of. The cola machine has absurd profit margins because at the end of the day it's just syrup and water.

>>13591647
It's likely an establishment that you pay at a register prior to getting your food. Why are there so many underage zoomers on this board who have never eaten out in their lives? Moms need to stop giving their babies smartphones and 4chan needs to block phonepissers.

>>13592464
It's a product, not a service.

>>13591457
Yes they can't you retard.

>>13592518
They can dictate what you do with it while on their property

>>13591144
Remindes me of that moron that would hollar at people in his restaurant if someone asked for ketchup on their burger. Why would anyone in their right minds patronize shitholes like that?

>>13593009
They can dictate shit-- once you pay for it, they can't take it back

If you shared food in front of them, they could make a stink and kick you out, but they don't have the ability to take your food away from you or force you to not share

>>13592342
No shit, that was initially my first thought upon seeing this too.

>>13591457
based gay retard

>>13592508
>It's a product, not a service.
the product is the shit from the restaurant's kitchen before it was cooked
The service is the guy cooking it, and the server serving it, and the fact that after the meal you can shit up the bathroom and leave like nothing ever happened
not tip necessary

>>13591474
Does paying with NEETbux count?

>>13591647
>Unenforceable. If they ask you to stop, and you don't, they ask you to leave, and you do so without paying.
Likely, there will be a "sharing" charge like $6, where it won't make sense not to just order 2 meals.

Why do restaurants do this? I don't like it myself, but it's because they've been unable to fix the really cheap people from holding up tables or using the free cup when the other person is getting refill after refill...you know, cheap cheaters.
It''s especially bad in retirement areas/fixed income, cheap college students that rotate around the deals around town, taking the toilet paper from the bathroom, and taking 25 free packages of chopsticks, 18 packages of sriracha, and enough napkins to clean up a exploded fish tank. Either they get cheap too, or they can't have nice prices.

Place I work at has unlimited coffee refills at 2.50 per cup. It's a fine dining establishment but the cheap lunch brings cheap people. Seeing two people "share" one cup they keep refilling as if they're gaming the system ...

We used to run a $3 house wine special for happy hour and there was a lady who would, every time, debate with the staff if she couldn't get an upgrade to the $13 Pinot Grigio and that they did it last time until, every time, I would come out and say it was nice to see her again. Apparently she was banned from half the establishments in town and sued one over it. Anyway I raised the price to $5 and she complained she couldn't afford it and I was terribly sorry to hear that. I've got tons of stories about this lady.

>>13591144
>How to not to stay in business for long.

>>13593287
Not sharing unlimited refills makes sense, those people are assholes.

>>13591144
Is this the same dude from the Gordon Ramsay meme?

>>13592508
Are you thick? They don’t care if you share outside the restaurant, they don’t want you taking up dining space inside, sharing a $7 meal and using their free Wifi for 2 hours.

>new place next door allows sharing
>this shitty place goes belly up, owner kills himself
I love the free market

>>13593029
They can absolutely kick you out, retard. In spite of how stupid their policies are.

>>13593029

You are defacto agreeing to their terms when you place your order and if you and another person start sharing, the restaurant can ask you to leave while still demanding you pay for the food that that you now can’t eat (unless you scoop it up in your hands).

>>13593411
why they gotta be like that I'm short and i need my booster seat to get the ladies to not think I'm pathetic. This is stupid they should just ban kids

>>13592312
Defending a businessowner's freedom to dictate what you can do on his private property is the opposite of bootlicking, you dumdum.
"No sharing" is basically the same as "bathroom for costumers only". If you don't buy anything they kick you out.
If two people enter and order one meal one of them is considered to have bought nothing.
They're being perfectly open about the policy even before you go through the door as well, so you can just go somewhere else if you don't like it. If they sprang some "sharing charge" on you after the fact I'd agree it was shitty and underhanded.

>>13594935
>split the bill
>now two people have bought something

>take out date
>order two things
>only one pays
>according to your logic one person has bought nothing and should get kicked out

Do what you want I guess but your business wont last long if you do this lol

>>13593411
Now that's fucking based

you are being pedantic and retarded right now.

>>13594946
Been in business over 20 years. Bathrooms for customers only, no you can't use our phones, no we won't haggle on the price, soft drinks are 1 refill before being charged for another, coffee is a by the cup charge, no we won't sub items for free, happy hour only applies to strictly what is shown and no we won't give you a military/senior discount on any form of already discounted items, if you don't like the thing you ordered I guess that fucking sucks for you, no I won't replace or comp anything you've consumed half or more of and decide it 'isn't for you' or 'just isn't good', no we don't have wifi put your fucking away, no we won't change the temperature or station for you, waters only free if you're purchasing something else, we're not a playground and we will tell your children to stop being little shits and if they don't listen we will tell you to make them stop or you'll be asked to leave, and yes, we will charge a 'split' fee for any shared dishes unless you're one of the few nearly dead couples we do like.

>>13594946
It's not about my logic. It's about the logic of the the guy who owns the place.
I'm sure if you both order a meal and then both of you taste both of them he won't have a problem with that.
It's about taking up a table for two but placing an order for one. You know this of course and are just being a pedantic little shit. I'm sure that attitude saves you five bucks once in a while but you are also universally despised because of it.

And plenty of places have a no sharing policy without having to close down. You are vastly overestimating the importance of you and your buddy collectively putting seven dollars in the till.

>>13591144
yeah no. if i was a restaurant owner and I see you breaking rules (which I get to decide btw, since it is a private establishment and only my law matters) I will have your ass thrown to the curb and.

>haha but I wont pay for my meal!
I'll be charging you upon ordering your meal for faggots like you

>>13594977
That's why you'll go broke and your wife will leave you for Tyrone

>>13595022

>>13593217
Old people especially will order one thing and share it and spend all day at the table with their free coffee refills. They have fuck all else to do.

>>13593382
Then why is the restaurant 4/5 rated with hundreds of reviews?

Obviously sharing means fuckall, no one cares.

>inb4 I wasn't talking about the actual restuarant in the OP image, I was talking about a restaurant I made up for my argument
Siiiick

>>13592504
This and they make even more money if you just take the cup and don't get soda like at a fast food place in a combo. You can get water but you still pay for the larger cup, basically.

>>13594973
>waters only free if you're purchasing something else
Not legal in the United States, mut maybe yurop.

>>13595640
Maybe if you just knock on the door and ask for a drink.
If you sit down and only order a free glass of water you can definitely fuck off.

>>13593411
imagine the hundreds of moms who seethed upon discovery of this sign, just beautiful

>>13591144
I'm going to share that shit with my asshole boy. MMM nice greasy slice makes the BEST wipe.

>>13592308
>it's not a buffet
Wait, what? I assumed that it WAS a buffet BECAUSE of the no sharing rule. You mean to tell me this is a regular restaurant saying you're not allowed to split a regular fucking meal? I split meals with friends at restaurants all the time, what retarded kind of rule is that?

>>13591647
>and yo u do so without paying
enjoy your criminal offense.

>>13593411
wish more places did this. i hate kids. btw i'm a girl.

>>13596555
btw i'm trans and gay if that matters.

>>13594974
Bottom line is you don't agree with the place's policy then there's no reason to patronize them. They can fuck off and go out of business for all I care.

>>13596555
I don't hate kids but fuck all nobody wants stupid kids running around a restaurant bothering paying customers with their girlsfriends or wives. Annoying people isn't a way to get repeating customers.

if me and 16 of my friends want to fit our fat asses into your restaurant and just eat all the free bread and water, and split one plate of spaghettis between us, we're clearly gaming the system and deserve to be kicked out

when I was a waiter we charged $2 for split plates which at first I thought was jewish but the more I thought about it it made sense. A couple angry customers gave me zero tips for this outrage but it was worth it

>>13595121
Seek help incel

>>13596622
You realize that sign is saying that children who can't sit quietly in a proper adult-style seat are banned, right?

>>13592308
I hate to do this but "soft drink" means a non-alcoholic drink, not just soda.

>>13596555
imma fuck your ass so long you'll get bored

>>13592491
Lots of morons run youtube bullshit channels, who cares?

These idiot so called customers can be snarky right up until Luca Brasi shows up at their table and escorts them out.

>no sharing policy at restaurant
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>no children policy at restaurant
Based

It's like you're all actually retarded.

>>13592322
Can't refuse if your buddy comes in after they've sold it.

>>13593411
Based. I'd argue there should be a law forbidding children under 16 yo from entering a restaurant except for fast food or obviously children themed.

>>13593411
Nice dubs, and based sign

>>13594973
Maybe I wouldn’t have to share an entree if your portions were designed for human fucking beings and not disgusting landwhales.

>>13594973
>per cup charge on coffee refills
Considering it costs about 3 dollars for a cup of coffee from most sit down diner style restaurants and the average person will have between 2-4 refills of coffee with their meal you actually expect me to believe someone would be willing to pay 6 dollars to 12 dollars just for their generic breakfast blend diner coffee? Quite the larp you've made for yourself friend.

>>13594973
You're a fucking piece of shit and I hope your garbage restaurant gets shut down when your customers wisen up to your predatory practices.

Theres no way to counter it if they take it seriously.

>They see you sharing
>Ask you to leave
>Typically you pay beforehand when eating out
>If not, you could attempt to leave without paying
>But then you've just committed a crime and are most likely on camera
>If you refuse to leave instead, they can call the police non emergency number on you to have you forcibly removed and forced to pay the price anyway

>>13602168
Or just order to go and share it somewhere else. Maybe if they have a problem with people sharing a lot they should look into smaller portion sizes at a reduced cost.
