Isn't this a good deal? What is the catch?
The catch is 2 pancakes isn't exactly a stack, more like a snack, and you have to wait for your server to come by and then order and wait for those pancakes to come out. By the time they dropped off that two-ski and even before the server got back to the kitchen I'd have those easily polished off and ready to put in another order. And I'd have to pay for that torture.

Tipping is the most ludicrous service in America. If I order a chicken dish vs a lobster dish, both dishes require the same amount of work for the server... why should I pay them more because I chose a lobster dish?
And on that note why do we pay more commission to a real estate agent who sells a pricey house vs. a cheap house? they should all just get the same fee.

Insane. That sounds like $1/hour (pretax). Are you sure ? That can't be legal.
That's because they get paid their tips every night and the tax witholding for those tips come out of their regular check. My paychecks as a server were usually $0.

the server has to be more careful cuz the lobster dish is 10x more? its a fair game. something is called tax. the more you spend the more tax you pay. did you complain about your tax rate? why would a rich guy pay alot more than a poor guy? they both drive on the same roads and bridges.

First "stack" is 5. If you know you are gonna put 'em away, order the next two when the first stack is delivered. And repeat. I agree that it isn't ideal for a big eater, but makes sense as a way for the restaurant to reduce waste. My guess is most people don't get past the second refill.

Seems like the best deal is to get a combo and eat that and take the pancakes to go.
That will not give better value for your money, since its 2 pancakes at a time.... better option would be to box the main item in your combo and eat the pancakes till you can either have no more or have no patience.... either ways take the main home to reheat and eat on a later time/day/year Smilie

lmao, charging more because the server has to be more 'careful' serving the lobster as if they are carrying a 1,000 lb item is the funnies thing i've read. If you can't be 'careful' carrying lobster, steak, caviar, etc., you shouldn't be in hospitality business.

Quote from earthdogmonster :
One of the few sane comments in this discussion. People here act like dining and being waited on is a human right. If i want to be waited on and feel like paying for it, I go to a full service restaurant. If I don't feel like tipping I skip the full service restaurant that day.

I can't imagine the lack of integrity and moral compass it takes to demand the service and then stiff the server. Likewise, if you are trying to protest the owners of the restaurants "not paying their workers" I don't see how stiffing an hourly worker and paying the owner anyhow counts as a protest. It just looks like stiffing your server.
there isn't a tipping culture outside of America and you'll find that the service is much better.

Servers, believe it or not, prefer tips than wages. Why? Because they routinely lie on their income tax and they get paid more with tips - especially those who work in fancy restaurants and get tipped nicely.

So this entire charade is just bad for the customers. I'll pay the 15-25% just because I'm not a dickhead but at the same time, their service isn't worth that 15-25%. A normal meal with family/friends can easily run up $300+ where I'm from at a decent restaurant. That's around $50 per person for a meal/drinks. Why should I then have to tip $60 when all they are doing is bringing out the food and drinks? Give customers the option to just pick it up at the counter once their order is called if they don't want a server. For those who prefer a server, that'll be a 15-25% automatic charge.

The only way tipping makes sense, IMO, is if they charge a flat price per customer.. $5 per person, fine, whatever. But the silliness in all of this is when I order a steak versus a chicken rotisserie and even though they are doing the SAME amount of work to bring out either dish, I'm forced to pay 20% on a $50 steak whereas the chicken is only 20% for a $20 rotisserie? That makes no sense.... charge me a flat fee, you're doing the same work.

The point is, this tipping culture just sucks and we're better off without one. Restaurants want it because they can pad prices without having the onus to pay for servers at the expense of customers and servers overwhelmingly favor tips because they earn more and underreport so they can qualify for government subsidies. it's a joke.

Almost everyone pays via credit card nowadays. Which goes through the restaurant before the server is paid out, and which gets reported as taxable income.

And most restaurants charge $10-20 for a meal (we are currently in a thread about $5 pancakes). If your average family meal is $50/person to get to "decent", your drinks are either bulking this bill up or your definition of "decent" is not what most people are thinking of.

"most restaurants." Yeah, if you're eating at applebees. No adult going out for something nice is eating at applebees here in NYC. $10-20 per meal? You probably live in rural south or something because you aren't finding a nice meal for $10-20 anywhere in big cities. A big mac meal with fries and soda is $9 alone.

lots of restaurants in NYC have a lower price if you pay cash because they don't want to pay the interchange fee, can lie about income, and servers don't get taxed.

its only in the western countries that tip. most of the world never heard of the word.
Well in Spain and other countries there's the IVA which is an additional tax so you get hit with extra charges everywhere but it's crazy here.
