Food Quantity?!

Haven't you noticed lately, every time you eat at a restaurant, the serving size just gets smaller? That shit pisses me off. I don't want to pay for half of the food that I eat, I used to eat about a year ago. Then later on the year pay even more to eat half of this half. Like and example, Ruby Tuesday. I used to eat the Penne Shrimp Pasta that was in a huge bowl that you would get full from it easier, and now it's in a horizontal plate and I didn't even get full when finishing it. Same goes for Chili's, Outback, Alehouse and the rest of these damn places. Give me your thoughts on this situation, and screw that whole "economy sucks." I don't give a fuck about that. If I'm paying 13-15$ for food I should be getting a good amount.

Every time I have been to the US, the food quantity was never an issue. If anything they gave me to much food

I've noticed the smaller unit sizes in the grocery store(since I work in one). But at restaurants I haven't noticed this.

I bought a bag of bananas from Costco Wholesale today. I was suprised because it was like 8 bananas (normal size and a few big ones) for only $1.79 ...

Thing was, right above the bananas it said "$1.79 per lbs" which means it should have costed more ... stupid cashier MUAHAHAH!

But yes, I went to Moxies and before I used to get full off one of their pastas, now I need like 2 to be full and I swear like when I went to Moxies the first time it opened (when the serving was bigger) it was cheaper ...

Aren't all those restaurants owned by the same chain? Maybe its just them cause I haven't noticed anything.

Not just those restaurants, it's small places too. Fast food restaurants are overpricing everything now as well. There's plenty of restaurants that are giving less food and over pricing, Ra - Sushi, Bar, and Grill, The Pub, Stir Crazy, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze, Pei Wei, PF Changs, BENI HANA, ect...

Restaurant chains aren't even that good. Find like a Mom n Pop place, they won't skimp out on you. (Easier in a city)
