A woman has claimed she was charged double for "eating too much" at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Blogger Poppy Jones, who lives in the United Kingdom, told the story in a TikTok video on Tuesday, quickly racking up 76,000 views. She responded to another TikToker's prompt asking for the "wildest way you have ever been fat shamed."
"I once went to an all-you-can-eat buffet," Jones said. "And when the bill came, I noticed they charged me twice. I questioned it and said why—and they said I ate too much."
She added in the comments section that she was at the buffet with a former partner, but the staff singled her out for the double charge. She argued with them and walked out paying only the flat rate, she said.
Jones giggled through the clip, but told viewers in a comment that she has fought for her mental health through a "body positive movement/empowerment journey."
"Luckily for me, I am able to laugh these comments off but I realize others can't and it makes me sad," she said.

Hard to believe but she looks more appealing in the long shot
Dang, she needs to put down the fork...
It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. That means that there is no limit. They should change the designation to “gluttons pay double.”
BWAHAHAHAHA....Ms. Creosode.
An after-dinner mint?
And it makes Newsweek.
An excellent illustration of the ridiculous media, circa 2022.
“... and spoons make you fat”.
“It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. “
Or she just made it up?
I always gave ‘the house’ an extra few dollars (above the tip I left for the waitress) at a Chinese Buffet I frequented; I felt guilty of how much I ate.
I think they appreciated it. I always got a hug from the lady manager when I came in, and a nod from the ‘chef’ who rarely acknowledged any customer’s presence.
I remember a story a few years ago about a woman who was told she couldn’t have anymore King crab legs. That’s all she wanted. Would wait till more came out and then fill up her plate again.
“I hear they shaved a gorilla.”
I “never” watched the simpsons, but I saw that one. It was hilarious! Well, that one and the parallel dimension one...
The wrestling team of Billy and Bad Boy Hines were active across the South throughout the 60s. Back in the 80s a sportswriter in Jacksonville Fl told about seeing the brothers in an all-you-can-eat catfish restaurant, this back in the 60s when they were wrestling. He said they would each get two plates and stack the plates with fried catfish from the buffett. They cleaned out the buffett of fried fish.
This was back when there wasn’t nearly as much money in wrestling, and they weren’t going to miss a chance at a big meal in a restaurant. As a kid I watched them many times on Saturday afternoons on Dothan (AL) TV, wrestling at the Houston County Farm Center.
“It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. That means that there is no limit.”
No. That means the restaurant tells you put down the fork “That’s ALL you can eat”.
LOL
LOL. When I saw the headline the first thing on my mind was “YOU GO NOW!”.
Excellent Chris Christie picture
