Why do so many restaurants give away free bread?

[mb23100]

This makes no sense to me. Everytime I go to Outback, Red Lobster, Macaroni Grill... etc I always order less food than normal because I know damn well I'm gonna be demolishing that bread as soon as it hits the table. Anywhere else I usually order an appetizer. Seems bad for business. Also here's some bread porn.

Keeps people from getting impatient while their meals are prepared.

You fill up on that bread and they can serve you less of whatever you ordered without noticing

Also its cheap and makes you feel good bout going out

You'll order something to drink. One drink and you just paid for the entire bottle.

It's a gimmick. Also, it's probably factored into the cost regardless.

Yeah probably this is true

Nut butter is much better than milk butter. More restaurants should use nut butter.

I try not to eat the bread because too much carbs I dont need.

Chinese banquet restaurants give you peanuts. Japanese restaurants give you green peas. Those are much healthier.

Chefs and waiters, they make no sense to me.

They come to our country, and think they'll do as they please...

You certainly do have drive thrus. McDonald’s, KFC, Krispy Kreme, Greggs. You even have drive thru Tescos.

I love when Brits act like their country isn’t trying its hardest to catch up to the US obesity rate.

You wankers aren’t that far behind.

It's probably the cheapest way to appease customers for overpricing the food, people walking out not full or make more tip.

 

[BEER]

It helps fill you up so you don't get upset about paying 20 dollars for a portion that is smaller is than you'd get at other, similar restaurants.

Big Business/Gov collaboration conspiracy.

I have a Canadian and a British coworker...both borderline morbidly obese. They could only dream of having this alpha Sherdoggers 8 pack, and bulging biceps.
Being fat used to be a field dominated by Muricans, but not anymore.
