So my sister dragged me to this hipster restaurant where (I shit you not) they try to show off by grinding pepper over your food.
Not only does it make me sneeze but they do it in this really obnoxious way like they expect me to tip more for every grind.
Why does it seem like restaurants are trying to squeeze more and more out of the customers at every step? I don't even like pepper, let alone being guilted into paying more because someone was "generous" with the pepper grinder.

I know what you mean. The worst is when they come around with those bowls of freshly grated cheese. Why do I want cheese on my risotto? It turns out I should have accepted because it was bland as all hell.

Tipping is retarded and I'm boycotting restaurants for this reason
only fast casual for me :^)

anyone notice how pre-ground pepper is WAY HOTTER than freshly-ground pepper?
with fresh pepper, i can add tons and tons to food. like a whole tablespoon. it's not a big deal.
but with pre-ground, if i add more than a teaspoon, the meal is ruined. it's just too hot.
maybe it's because pre-ground = finer particles = more surface area of your tongue to touch the paper.

fucking cheesecock factory does that cheese grate thing and it baffles me.

Gonna take the bait since I assume you're normal-fag enough on some level for your sister to dine with you outside.
>Why does it seem like restaurants are trying to squeeze more and more out of the customers at every step?
You answered your own question.
>they do it in this really obnoxious way
It's a hipster restaurant, like you said. They put an emphasis on presentation and flair so that suckers can justify paying $40 for a meal that would otherwise be worth $20.

This is probably why

Wut. I can grind mine as fine or coarse as I want. And freshly ground is always spicier than preground. The preground is like bland sawdust.

I hate bland sawdust.

When those kekolds come to my table with pepper grinders and cheese graters I demand that they leave them on my table for the whole meal. Same with iced tea and water pitchers, leave that shit on my table.

is that a gas mask or a miner's lamp on his head?
>>7142125
as pepper ages it loses some flavor and gets hotter like that.
pre-ground pepper loses its oils pretty quick and turns to shit.
this is why i think many people say they dont like pepper because the use old pre-ground stuff.
fresh ground is always better
