have you guys noticed that... Sun, 07/11/10 5:05 PM (permalink)
if you order 2 of the same thing at any restaurant/sub shop you always get much  less than if you only get 1? pretty annoying.  just got 2 fish sandwiches, all together there was the same amount of fish as the one i ordered last time so i just had to make it one again.  i've always noticed this, only fast food places where they have the portions set up does this not happen.if someone orders the same thing as me, i'm quietly cursing.

    I've never seen anything like that, except when ordering more than one topping in an apiozza froma chain. Then, I notice they cut way back.

      You mean they cheat?  A serious accusation.

          you can't even spell delirious, so chill.  you know what i mean, let's say you order a super beef. if you order one you'll get more meat then if you order 2.

            I know when I have ordered pizza with double pepperoni, I might as well save my money.
            I think the extra is a money grab.

              I'd stop going to that place that shorts you on a double order. If you go to any Greek hot dog joint around here, the standard order is "two with everything", and you'll get two hot dogs on their rolls with exactly the same toppings as if you had ordered only a single dog. But, ordering a single dog is unheard of - if you try, you'll get stared at by everyone in the joint...

              Cheers, John

                  I can't say that's ever happened to me. On some foods I guess it would be possible but on most things I might order two of it would be real obvious i.e two eggs or two burgers or two bowls of soup.

                    I know when I get extra cheese on a pizza and when I don't. I also know when someone relatively new to the forums should not be correcting a well established member on their spelling.

                        I think sk bobs funny post went right past Eataliday.

                            Do you ever notice that whenever you get attacked by a prehistoric epileptic pteradactyl, it's either one really large one or two smaller ones.  Why is that?
