Look at it the other way around... maybe they could have "half portion" options for those of us who would be tossing the extra food in the trash.
I'd take that every time -- even if I were charged the same as the full portion (since it doesn't matter in the end, as I'm throwing half of the full portion away anyhow.)
>if you cut my portion size in half, you better cut the price in half too,
Nah, they just need to shave $1 off and call it tapas. :-)
I'm being mildly snarky. I like tapas for the variety. But, in part, because they mostly don't have the relative filler you have in a typical big dish main, they tend to be relatively pricey.
i honestly don't see how anyone can possibly see your suggestion as a sensible one. by the way, if you cut my portion size in half, you better cut the price in half too, otherwise i'm not coming back. i'm going to that NEW restaurant across the street who offers what you used to. i love big portions because i can bring leftovers home - i don't care that other people who cannot control their appetites finish the whole plate instead and get obese, that's their own problem not mine.
