out to dinner, is this a dick move?
On Tuesday night my g/f took me out to dinner at a nice place. We order a bottle of wine and don't get carded. The menu says that if you're under 26 and don't get asked for your ID then you get a free dessert (she turned 25 two weeks ago and I'll be 25 in two months).
So the question is, if we take advantage of the policy and let the waiter know that we want 2 free desserts, is it considered a dick move to do so? What would you do?

It's their policy, but the waiter is probably the one paying for the desserts. If you do choose to go for the desserts, at a minimum you need to tip the waiter for them. I think it would be best to go for one free dessert.

[/ 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.

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.

Re: out to dinner, is this a dick move?
If he's a good enough server he won't get fired.
If he's not good enough, and he gets fired, then we can safely assume that the lack of carding is just an excuse to fire a mediocre server, as well as a good opportunity to scare the SH** out of all other servers. So, it all boils down to...is he a good server, or not?
