I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277

75lbs overweight isn't fat?

" . . . I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277," Borrelli said.

Maybe he's 6'9". Or maybe he really is fat.

“She says, ‘Y’all fat, and y’all eat too much,’”

I can’t tell you why, but I just can’t stop giggling at that statement.

Do they undercharge people who don’t eat much?

I think it was some corporate officer at Red Lobster who was in charge of some all you can eat promotion a few years ago and she miscalculated how much people could eat and therefore setting the profitable price point for the promotion. It made the newspapers when she was let go. When America was an industrial nation and we actually produced stuff, corporations spent a lot of time and money in time motion studies. I guess buffets and restaurants need to start researching how much a people can eat and how much it affects the business plan.

"She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said.

Asians are pretty blunt sometimes. LOL! That's why I <3 them so much! They are NOT PC!

As for the "baby in the belly" comment, at least in the Korean language, the same phrase "bae boo lie o" (rough transliteration) literally means "my stomach has expanded" and it's usually used to either refer to your stomach being full of food or your torso expanding for a pregnancy. When I was in Korea and going out to eat with Korean friends, I *always* made sure I made myself clear that I wasn't pregnant. LOL!

Labit and Borrelli said they felt discriminated against because of their size.

They're right. They were. But IIRC as a private business they have every right to do so. OTOH, once having been permitted to enter the business and start eating at the buffet the restaurant had no right to charge them more than the advertised price. But if they want to ban them from eating there overall, that's too bad for them.

But they are equally within their rights to complain and picket and write letters to the editor and attempt to persuade people that this form of discrimination is wrong.

We got embarrassed four-ways-to-Sunday when we took some friends to an All You Can Eat Brunch in Florida’s Panhandle.

The menu included cooked shrimp with the shell on. The guy’s wife exclaimed “I LOVE shrimp” and proceeded to load up (HEAPED) her plate SEVEN times. She even told her husband to get a plate for her and he refused, also out of embarrassment..

Next thing you know, the guys replenishing the food bar stopped putting out the shrimp. It’s not that there weren’t other choices, including a made-to-order omelette bar, but this gal just embarrassed all of us.

I left a bigger tip than usual.

Why did he put up with that abuse? I would have walked out, and said: who needs to eat dog food anyway? Yes, asians especially the Chinese and Koreans that I have run-ins with do have a nasty lack of manners, borders on insufferable rudeness. I do not find this behavior charming or funny, and when they need to dish out with me I will give it right back to them. I complained about this rudeness to my Husband, who is American of Chinese Descent and he grows silent, wonder why?????/Just Asking - seoul62......
