Re: out to dinner, is this a dick move?
no. Rules are rules. They set the rule up, they got to live by it. If this is a "nice restaurant", then you've probably already paid for the desert anyway.

I think you have to tell the waiter first, and ask him if taking the free one screws him. [/ QUOTE ] decent answer, but the waiter most likely would never be like "oh crap, yeah it does, do me a solid and don't ask for the desert ok?"

[ QUOTE ] It's their policy, but the waiter is probably the one paying for the desserts. [/ QUOTE ] I'd be very surprised if that's all that happens to the server. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, they should take him out and put him in a hole in the desert. wtf? So he failed to card a 25-year old... not grounds for firing. Jesus.

[ QUOTE ] Waiters, at most restaurants, have to prepare deserts. [/ QUOTE ] I've heard this a few times. I've worked at several restaurants and never prepared my own desserts. [/ QUOTE ] I guess it just depends. At a minimum, the waiter does have to get the desert "from the back." Upset server = extra sauce.

It's most certainly not a gimmick to get people in the door. It's a measure to weed out those that might cost them a lot of money in the future.

[/ QUOTE ] No, but if you asked him who pays for the dessert and whether he is likely to get canned I think he is obliged to give you an honest answer. There's no way it doesn't screw him at all.

Obviously not carding a 25 year old is not going to get the restaurant fined, however, restaurant management put that NARC policy in place to cover their butts and will not be happy with a server potentially getting them fined and a liquor license taken away. People get fired for a lot less.
