What I object to is that the appetizer requirement was added without any additional compensation. Previously, it was easy to do the shop within the reimbursement and still get a nice steak. Now I go over it each time. It’s only a few bucks and I can live with it, but it is annoying.
Btw, I don’t get the cheap option (the chili) as some suggest, because I don’t like it, and some locations don’t have it, anyway.
I just eat a little of the appetizer and get a box, telling them that my family likes me to bring some home.

Just so y'all know, I ate so much that my stomach could not hold another bite no matter the cost or lack of cost. I ordered the food that I truly wanted. Why would I want to make the client pay for food that I did not want and could not eat, just so I could run up the bill to the maximum allowed? Maybe too many shoppers having a primary goal of needlessly running up the bill could be a contributor to the client paying a higher job fee. As a side note, I am somewhat of a vegetarian since I will not eat red meat (including pork). So, ordering steak was out of the question.
Yes, I have been known to treat the excellent servers as well as possible. And then there are those times I am double-checking the minimum required because it is that kind of experience. Fortunately, that's rare for this chain.@NinS wrote:
Without going into tip debates it is worth noting that the MSC will reimburse you a 20% post-tax tip on these shops.
