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.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday. 
    • Worse than gb news   Signs of unhinged minds 
    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
