You're right about that - they cannot randomly charge people one rate, and charge someone else who eats more another rate if they advertise one flat rate for all.

When I worked in Washington DC, the upscale cafeterias in Crystal City or Georgetown charged by the pound - for everything: salad, chinese, pasta, ice cream, etc.

I did eat at a Chinese "All You Can Eat" place in Fort Walton Beach FL.

They served a huge assortment - Chinese, Dim Sum, Sea Food, American food, desserts, etc.

The only thing they charged extra for was the sushi.

But - I saw a TON of wasted food there.

It really was a crime.

In most cases you’d be right, but there are a number of us in this development, and we all want to keep the tree cutting along the roads to a minimum, to keep that woodsy atmosphere.

The county wanted to take over the roads, but they require the trees to be cut back to a total width of 60 feet, and we are at about 25 to 30, so we’re keeping it the way it is, maintaining it ourselves.

I have a road grader and I do cut the trees that lean over in heavy snow, and trim branches so they don’t hit the grader cab too much. All in all, the problem of the trees, and admittedly it is a problem, is worth the trade off.
