Now, if you want to talk about why they leave the tails on in sauteed dishes and pasta, then I'm with you.

I've asked waitstaff about this and the best guess was a presentation decision. I wish they would cut them off. I've complained about this many times.

Definitely a first world problem.

It's still a problem. Not, perhaps, as big a problem as, say, typhoid contaminated water, or ramapging rabid rhinos, but still, a bit of an issue, especiall when you end up getting butter from your scampi on your tie. That sucks.

agree with you on the shrimp....if in a pasta dish, no tail...if cocktail, leave the tail

also, why is (or was) lobster the most expensive thing on the menu, but you have to do all the work for not a whole lotta meat.....
