If he's not going to eat it then it should not be on his plate. Putting stuff on your plate you can't eat is just willfully depriving the restaurateur of their livelihood.


It's not greedy if he doesn't eat it; it's just downright insulting, morally bankrupt.


Read the dog in the manger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dog_in_the_Manger


It's 'as much as you can eat' not 'as much as you can take home'.

In theory you have paid for an all you can eat so you could clear out the whole restaurant - you'd be quite the **** if you did tho


Scaling back from that scenario and thinking "well i won't finish this but I can get another meal or two out of it" times another 10 customers doing the same? probably affecting not just that restaurater but others in the area too


pay your ?6.95, eat as much as you can and leave - that's the sprit of the thing. If people abuse it resutaurants will stop doing it

You haven't paid for a plate of food t-e-d, you've paid for as much as you can eat.


If you put more on your plate than you could eat, you're simply trying to rip off the system - so your tone of outrage is completely unreasonable, the swindler here is you not me!

Huguenot may or may not have but I have many a time


If I was going to take them to an all you can eat I would listen to what they SAIDF they wanted and given them a small sample - if they wanted more I would go back and get more.


baby steps, Ted. baby steps


If they didn't eat more than twice I just wouldn't take them again and tell them why

baby steps means I wouldn't go from "taste" to "plateful"


but if they went back for more and didn't eat it, regardless of size, then if it happened more thhan once, then as I say "I just wouldn't take them again and tell them why"


but taking the food away wouldn't be my main concern

Ah, I didn't realize you were talking about small children - but I guess if you want a good deal from a fixed price 'all you can eat' buffet, you don't take a small child?


You know that they're not going to eat their money's worth.


It's not the nature of the deal. You still can't take it home.


No pointing getting outraged about it.

Thing is with children Is they do do annoying things. If you acted the way you suggest "You are are never going there again" By the time they are 12 you wouldn't be able to go anywhere or do anything. You have to be patient and persist. Anyway this is on the wrong thread.

    • Last time I was in there, after a 10-minute queue, it took nearly 10 minutes to prepare postage for a large letter to Ireland. Felt like I was in the last century. 
    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother.
