Funny anecdote: I’m a skinny dude, even skinnier 25-years ago, but the joke was that I single-handedly put a restaurant out of business.
My gf, best friend and I got the munchies and went out to a place with shrimp on the all-you-can-eat buffet. Put crustaceans in front of me and offer my fill? LOL, that’s challenge not an offer. Better have a wheelchair on standby, 'cause I ain’t walking out under my own power.
Coming back with my 7th plate, a woman was seen whispering to her husband and we overheard him say, “Well honey, it’s all-you-can-eat, he can do that if he wants.”
The place closed less than a week later, never lived down the ragging from those two.
As long as you left some for the other patrons, and took your plate back to your table, I don’t see much of a problem. But I’ve seen people just sit down in front of the buffet, right where the shrimp or lobster tails or whatever are, and just start eating right there.
The other thing I’ve heard of was someone coming into the buffet at lunchtime, having lunch, and then just staying until dinner (without paying again)
One (really really good) Chinese buffet I’ve gone to twice gives you a coupon for a single lobster. The rest is all you can eat, but they had to limit the lobster (probably because of the people who exaggerated)
