Skillet sharing?

[Wazzo]

What would happen...

... if one person got the all-you-can-eat skillet breakfast at WCC, and another person got a separate entree... and the entree person ate some of the skillet???

Do we get in trouble? That is NOT the restaurant in which I want to be in trouble!

I don't know the answer..but am going to "bump" because I would love to know the answer to this...

I am travelling w/ my mom and I don't think she would like all of it..

I would think that as long as every person ordered something of an entree and the skillet wasn't replenished, it would be OK. They'd just be throwing that left-over food away if it wasn't eaten!

I think it varies. If they are just snagging a strip of bacon, it hardly makes a difference. But if the person is having a sampling of this, a sampling of that, a couple strips of bacon, a small slice of ham,etc, the restaurant would be within their rights to add that second person to the bill.


BTW, I hardly eat anything on the skillet, but I still order it and pick the things I do like...then just eat more of them!

Definitely scarier at WCC, you know?

Along the same lines....what if the person sharing the skillet is under 3? Can they share for free like at a buffet or should they pay for a separate child's meal?

When we were here in May, my DF ordered the skillet and I had the chicken soup followed by the grilled chicken pasta. I tried a little of his salad and some other items from the skillet, he tried some of my soup and pasta. As he's not a big mashed potato eater he ended up leaving most of this, which I ended up finishing most of as I love mashed potato!!

Neither of these practices were frowned upon by anybody - as another poster said, that potato would just have gone to waste anyway! Also, as I had my own appetiser and entree it wasn't like we were scamming them out of the cost of a meal!

TBH, we always end up eating a little of each other's food at meals because we love to try what each other is having!

Yeah, I'd think it wouldn't be a big deal as long as everyone had ordered something. I mean 2 of us ordered the skillet and couldn't eat the whole thing (yeah, we got scorned for not asking for any "refills" on the skillet).... so I couldn't imagine having an entire entree to eat and then doing much damage to someone else's skillet.

Sharing for the under 3 is okay as always. Now if they are 3 a child's credit would have to be used.

1) Can't do it.
2) At a buffet or all-you-can-eat, EVERYONE has their own and pays.
3) You can share, but everyone will be charged.

NOTE; The exception is that under-3 will not be charged at a buffet for their own plate. Usually they eat of a parent plate, but at a buffet food will still be eaten, so they can have their won plate.

We were at Whispering Canyon for the first time in April. My husband was having a hard time deciding between the steak and the skillet and the waitress said, if he order the steak and I ordered the skillet, he could eat off of my skillet.

Well, that's what we did. The steak costs more than the skillet and he was so full from that, that he only tasted a couple of things on my skillet. We even ordered some more of the meats as seconds.

I don't know whether or not this is policy, but it certainly makes sense. We paid for two full meals and two adults. The waitress was the one who came up with the suggestion, we didn't ask.

. . . I don't know whether or not this is policy, but it certainly makes sense. We paid for two full meals and two adults. The waitress was the one who came up with the suggestion, we didn't ask . . .

1) as long as you BOTH paid for a meal, this is OK.
2) it is not OK to share to avoid paying for a person.
