Question

When you order steak (that comes with fries) and you don't want the fries, should you ask for a discount ?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

If you are dining at a reputable establishment there is something called customer service, and these people will do whatever it takes to make you happy. The economy isn't that great right now restaurants are hurting, closing down left and right.Excluding the giant corporations most will cut your steak for you if they think it will bring you back. I am a restaurant manager and believe me if you want a dollar back because you did want fries I would give it to you out of my own pocket if that would bring you back.  

Answer 3

Sorry dude, there's a time and place when you can not have it your way.

Answer 4

No.  You should ask for something to substitute in instead of the fries.  

Answer 5

ALL you have to do is ask for a side order that can replace the fries. Usually after you say you dont want fries they are going to ask what you would like instead.

Answer 6

no. your fries cost the restaurant like, less than a dollar. it's not worth their (or your) time and effort to discount for that.

but regardless of what you don't want, the restaurant shouldn't discount you because they sell meals, not fractions of them.

Answer 7

Yes you can ask for a discount however I doubt you will get one.  However, instead of fries ask if there is something else you can substitute for.  Not very many people go in a steak restaurant and want nothing but meat on their plate.

Answer 8

Definitely no!!!

Answer 9

dont buy a steak at a place you think would give you a discount.....its probably not that good..

Answer 10

No, because the majority of the price is due to the steak.  That little thing of fries that you got probably accounts for MAYBE $0.20 - 0.50 of the entire price.  Instead, why don't you ask if there is something you can substitute in place of the fries.  

Answer 11

you should go to a place that serves what you want.

Answer 12

Usually they will give you a choice of soup, caesar salad, garden salad or fries. You could ask for one of those instead. But if it is not possible, you could always just give your fries to the person you're dining with (if you are dining with somebody that is). If not, then get them to go, and bring them for somebody else in your family!
