Woman Arrested for Challenging Denny’s Hypocritical All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Policy
NY Mag ^ | 11/16/2015 | Jessica Roy

One brave woman in Illinois was arrested last week for standing up for herself in the face of tyranny. Pancake tyranny.

Denny's customer Natasha West was sharing an innocent plate of all-you-can-eat pancakes with her friends when a waitress approached her and told her that wasn't allowed. Instead of backing down, West decided to defend her right to share pancakes. Unfortunately, she dodged the check (not cool) and tried to hit the waitress (super not cool) and was subsequently arrested. Some people are just exceedingly passionate about breakfast foods.

Great! Now we're going to have "lawyer" disclaimer bull**** on menus too! Way to go America! Idiots!

Pretty much every "all you can eat" restaurant has "no sharing, no doggie bags" very clearly printed on their menus and has for years.

She's not the first person who's tried this.

It is all you can eat, not all you can give away.

That’s what I thought also. I will admit that I’ve never checked the Denny’s menu but I have seen it on others.

A navy buddy had a story about going to an “all you can eat $1.99” as a kid. When his dad asked or more, they said, that would another $1.99. He said but it is $1.99 all you can eat. The waitress replied, that was all you can eat for $1.99.

They used to have these all-you-can-eat offers for sushi. Not only could you not share, you also had to eat all the rice.

There’s a place like that near work. We call it ‘all-you-can-stand’.

Waitresses typically spot families that try to cheat an all you can eat, because only one person orders food. Funnier is when they start putting food in their pockets, because they will often try to steal runny or juice food (Mmmm, a pants pocket full of pistachio pudding!). Lower down are those that steal tableware, salt and pepper shakers, condiment and artificial creamer cups


My wife and I saw a new version of this at the Boulder Station Casino Buffet in Las Vegas this past spring. A family of four was seated at the table across from us, a mother, a father, and two kids around 5 or 6. Ten minutes later, the mother was no where to be seen, and there was an older woman in her place.

Then the two little kids were replaced by two teenagers. In the course of about 30 minutes, we counted 13 people run through that table for four.

So they ate for about $3.50 each.

We also saw a guy on one of those electric scooters bypass the line after telling the cashier he was meeting someone. Later we saw him driving along the buffet line, eating as he went.

Then a little later, he replaced a guy at a table who had finished up and left. Nobody gave him a second look.

Supposedly, when he was a teen, William “The Refrigerator” Perry, of Chicago Bear fame, had his picture posted in all the Howard Johnson’s in his area. It was captioned “do not seat this person, on ‘all you can eat’ nights”.

It’s “all YOU an eat”, not “all THEY can eat”.
