>what am I in for?
the same tactics at olive garden for their endless breadsticks, which is the waiter rarely going by your table to ask if you want more.

>>16923238
>what am I in for?
Endless shits.

ok shrimp mediocre sides

>>16923238
Shrimp, in an endless quantity

>>16923238
>what am I in for?
psychological warfare with the waitstaff and potentially the manager
>Any recommendations?
Don't back down. Fearlessly flag down the waiters. Tell them you need more of the fucking endless shrimp you paid for. If they bring the check without you asking for it, don't you dare pay it until you get another serving.

>>16923238
scam, shrimp is too rich to eat endlessly

>>16923332
>psychological warfare
i laughed but it's true. all the places that offer "endless" or "bottomless" rarely go to your table to ask if you want more.

>>16923238
I don't like the time limits. It discriminates against people that would rather take their time to eat.
I would prefer paying a bit more and having unlimited time.

>>16923629
I think the limited time refers to the offer. it's only available for a month or so.

>>16923238
Getting shamed for being a cheap glutton, indigestion of colossal magnitude and shits that will make the holocaust look like a picnic. You might even have a chance of experiencing shitting yourself on the way home.

>>16923340
Nonsense!

>>16923238
only eat the biscuits

I ordered it one time a couple years ago and they brought me my first plate of shrimp and not kidding you I didn't see my waiter again until 15 minutes later where he only came to ask if I needed more water. I had to mention that my plate was fucking empty and needed more shrimp.

Got wasted with some friends a couple years ago and did this endless shrimp deal. After getting the first plate, our waitress was 100% avoiding our table like the plague so I got up with my plate and started wandering back towards the kitchen. Didn't make it to the kitchen though because I accidentally walked into a waiter who was carrying like 8 plates of food and one of them was a bowl of some kind of hot soup that splashed all over a baby. Didn't get a second plate of shrimp because we were asked to leave after that

>>16923238
Ive always wanted to try it but i know how wait staff avoids you

Could you hold the waitstaff "hostage"? Esentially tell them they wont get a tip if they don't stay on it with the shrimp

I'm terrified of doing anything dickish to the staff because I worked in a restaurant and I know they will fuck with your food, but Red Lobster is already horribly overpriced and if I'm paying for unlimited I want Unlimited

Is it endless shrimp or endless shrimps?

>>16924228
probably because you are only having all you can eat and a glass of free water, and they know they are going to get like a $1 tip

im not defending the wagie but thats why

>>16924339
i get water with all of my food i order anywhere because i genuinely enjoy water more than soda or whatever

i ordered apps too with it

>>16924303
Could you do that? Absolutely. Would they spit in or fuck with your meal in some way? Probably.

Enjoy ze cockroaches bottom feeders literally they eat fish poo that fell down you stupid moron enjoy your cancer and cull yourself more air for me

>>16924339
>a $1 tip
what a fucking scam, trying to pass off paying your employees with fun game where you only have to pay the taxes they claim.
and the GUEST must play

>>16923340
What do you mean, shrimp is too rich?

>>16924303
>>16924368
Just do it the opposite way
Basically imply to the wagie that you'll bribe them to keep the shrimp coming

>>16924303
>>16924368
Now that I think about it, it all comes down to how you phrase it.
>Keep the plates coming or im not tipping
Say this and your food is in danger
>I'd like to order the endless shrimp, but I have been ignored by servers in the past and received less food than I wanted. I'm going to tip you one dollar per plate received. Fair?
You're gonna get more shrimp than Bubba Gump and nobody will fuck with it.

>>16924303
sit at the bar.
if they have one, the one near me has one

>>16923238
>what am I in for?
Diarhhea and heart disease?

>>16924410
why does this make it better? genuinely asking

Enjoy ze cockroaches bottom feeders literally they eat fish poo that fell down you stupid moron enjoy your cancer and cull yourself more air for me you dumb fu k

>>16924423
The bartender is right there and its much more socially acceptable to flag a bartender down.

>>16923634
>he can't sit and eat shrimp for 30 days straight

OP here reporting back.The waitress was pretty good about bringing refills. when she brought the first plate out she immediately asked us if we wanted to get more ordered. My plan was to just stick to the shrimp skewers for refills because it's the least fatty, but I think she caught on because when she brought my 4th refill she also brought a plate of fried shrimps and coconut shrimp, which filled me up and prevented me from ordering more. 6/10 experience, I'd say it's worth the $18. I do feel like shit now, however.

>>16924811
6/10 is your own fault, you should have sent those unordered shrimps back.

>>16923238
This is what you have to say
"I will not tip you if you avoid my table"
That's all you gotta do
