Halil, how do you know it's not true. We know it can never happen to you because you eat everything on your plate and more, I'm sure, but others may leave a little bit behind on their plates.!

Personally speaking, people should be charged for wasting food.! I always hated seeing piles of food being left on the plates by fat Americans in most Las Vegas Casinos Buffet restaurants.!

I know two friends that went to a well known pizza place (All you can eat)

At some point the management requested them to leave for eating too much...

To be honest they did OVER do it

Now there is a story to tell your grandchildren one day!!!

When a restaurant does an 'all you can eat' special, they take in mind what's the maximum a person can eat. If someone walks in and starts serving themselves slices of pizza and only eating the pepperoni from it and discarding the rest of the pizza, then they should be charged extra or asked to leave. There are some very inconsiderate people around.

Just yesterday I was looking for something in Yellow Pages and I noticed that restaurants are now printing their whole menu to help promote the business. One of the "eat all you like" Chinese buffet menus said that they reserved the right to charge for uneaten food and added "no doggy bags".

Jerry, we in the states refer to "doggy bag" as taking your leftovers home from the food left on your plate in a take out box. In the long past, this food was meant to be given to your dog, but over the years, it has become a custom to take home your leftovers and eat it yourself the next day. This rule never applied to Buffet Restaurants, however..

I knew a Russian and a Philippine in San Francisco who went to a "All you can eat Seafood" for $20 each. After eating so much food, the management had asked them to leave and not to come back anymore. I've had the unpleasant pleasure of seeing these two eat before. Trust me, it was not a very pleasant sight. Their $20 Dollars were also given back, just so that the owner would not get sued for not keeping his end of the bargain. All establishments have the right to refuse service to anyone, but not after you take their money, so the $20 Dollars each were returned to them. :lol:

Halil,

Can you verify if this's true? I know it will be a little hard for you to leave some food in your plate...but you have too, I don't see any other way... :)

I hope Palio will find the name of the place for us than i can try . It looks Palio was cone very badly with his mate .

it sounds like a brilliant idea! but only if that money will be going to charity...or goes to giving food to those who dont have it. otherwise its just a greedy scheme.

There was a place in the US called Golden Coral (all you can it). The food was so bad that you didn't want to refill your plate anyway! :lol:
