POLL: Dessert after dinner

[Zanix]

Seems like all the "servers" try to get you to buy dessert after eating out at a resturant.

I usually only get dessert at a resturant if it's a birthday. I'm usually way too full for anything else.

This is western Michigan too, and we likes to eats. maybe it's a regional thing.

Im usually pretty full at the end of dinner, but once in a while I will have some sweets.

Most restaurants will give you a little nudge to order dessert. It's a high-profit item. And it makes your tab higher, so that will mean a little more tip for the server.

Personally, restaurants around here generally serve so much food I can't eat dessert.

 

[aplefka]

Don't go out much, and order dessert even less.

Yeah, that's another thing too, the portions at some places are so huge I can't imagine people getting MORE food after that. Then there's apitizers and most places have bread of some kind too... alot of food

If we are at really nice restaurant, dessert is mandatory.

Otherwise we skip it.

there are other desserts more fitting after a big meal.

You can even add a bit of whipcream to them. 😀

Very rarely, I could count on one hand probably the number of times I've eaten dessert at a restaurant.

 

[MetalMat]

When I was a waiter I never recommend dessert cause I was too lazy to go get it.

Girlfriend has a crazy sweet tooth... so once in a while we get something and share it... but usually way too full to get any...
