"The sign said 'All You Can Eat'."

[joebuck]

"..eating there as often as three times a week."

No wonder he "only" weighs 277 lbs.

[Clintonfatigued]

For a minute, I thought it said the eater in question was a 3,265 pound man. THAT got my attention.

We had an “All-You-Can-Eat” thread here about 3 years ago. It was the funniest FR thread I ever saw.

“Hearty eaters” must be AP speak for “overeaters.”

[Vigilanteman]

Sorry, I have to side with the restaurant owner here.

I'm no skinny guy myself and tend to eat big at these type of places, but I don't go that often. When I do, though, I take what I can eat and I eat what I take.

I've seen slobbish behavior by a lot of patrons who load up, cherry-pick the expensive stuff and waste more than even I eat. The result is that reasonably well-mannered patrons end up subsidizing the slobs.

If the restaurants cannot exclude the worst abusers, they either must raise prices, discouraging patrons who eat modestly, or go out of business.

Now if hospitals could only do the same thing to those who pull into ERs for minor ailments with no insurance, no intention to meet even a modest copay and who aren't even in the country legally.

'Hearty Eaters' Say Buffet Banned Them

[Bigh4u2]

“You go home now fat boy. You been here 4 houra!”

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"No buffet for you!"

[Welsh Rabbit]

Houma accountant Thomas Campo said the men were charged an extra $10 each on Dec. 21 because they made a habit of dining exclusively on the more expensive seafood dishes, including crab legs and frog legs.

I've encountered these sort of uncouth slobs at buffets before. Last time I was at my local seafood buffet, I saw a guy take most of the newly replaced crawfish, leaving only four or five for all the other diners. It was amazing he was able to balance that many on a single plate.

Yeah, I know crawdads aren't expensive, but it's still very rude to take most of a single buffet item.

From the thread from 2006,

I used to work in a buffet restaurant when I was in high school. One family would come in every Saturday afternoon, stuff themselves to the gills, then fall asleep at the table. After about a half hour or so, they would wake up and start all over.
