Mrs. Fredd and I were enjoying lunch in an upscale (by local standards) restaurant the other day.
The couple at the next table had finished their main course and asked to split a dessert, then said they would split a coffee as well. They debated regular vs decaf (chose regular), and the server brought them one cup of coffee along with a shared dessert.
She even gave them a refill.
We'll split the odd appetizer, salad, or dessert, most often when recommended by the server (and not all in one meal). I don't think we've ever split a main course, but know folks with small appetites who do and realize some restaurants add a surcharge.
But splitting a coffee?
That takes me back to the "one coke - two straws" days of my youth in the 50s.
It was a first for us. Is this at all commonplace?
