passengers raiding complimentary buffets in lounges

I've heard of "all you can eat" but society now seems to view this as "all you can carry" -- bring a duffel bag and just carry the whole buffet out with you.

We used to live in an actual society. It meant something.

On a reasonably related side issue, I remember fondly as a kid going to the Ponderosa restaurant with the all you can eat salad and dessert bars. The kind of behaviour I’ve read about in recent years as cited by the article makes me wonder if the Ponderosa could or could not make that kind of a comeback.

Indeed we did. And I miss it terribly. I do what I can on a personal level, but my conduct brands me as an anachronism in many settings.
