Do you do this to avoid being ripped off?
>>22031307I’ve done it with bulk food I ordered in the mail, especially when there’s more empty space than I expect in the box
>>22031307do you bring the scale to the restaurant?
>>22031344yes, or would you trust a scale provided by the restaurant?
>>22031344
>>22031383they advertise the weight BEFORE it is cooked, though to be fair that steak definitely looks like it was smaller than it should have been
>>22031383Complaining about the smallest and cheapest steak on the menu being too small is very niggardly behavior
>>22031470It called getting value for your dollar
>>22031383Isn't this what a lot of steakhouses and even butchers do? Pump meat with a bunch of water to get the weight up which then just dries out during cooking?
>>22031307I don't need to weigh anything. I have eyes.
>>22031527MY BRAND!
>>22031512I thought it was how in soviet union people stole meat since it was planned to fabricate X tons of meat so they took some for themselves, poured water and froze it and coila, suddenly you have X tons of frozen meat + water, plan fulfilled
>>22031466Restaurants really shouldn’t be allowed to do that
>>22032071you can't advertise a streak's weight after it's cooked because the doneness affects the final weight. a customer that requests a well done steak may get a steak that's 1 ounce lighter because of evaporation.
>>22032073then call it small/medium/big steak
>>22032075specifying the weight or quantity of an item is beneficial to the consumer. the restaurant would benefit from arbitrary sizing that they can use to maximize profit by skimping.if the guy in the OP had ordered a "small" steak then he would have no recourse since there is no actual defined amount of food.
