'Tis no man. 'Tis a remorseless eatin' machine!

But enough about Homer Simpson......this story is actually about a man who got kicked out of a buffet for eating 12 pieces of fish during an all-you-can-eat fish fry buffet. Supposedly they gave him 8 more pieces to go as he left, citing that they were low on fish and wanted to be able to feed the other cutomers.....also(FWIW) the man has has trouble(unspecified) with the establishment before(Take of that what you will.).

350 lb man kicked out of All-you-can-eat buffet for eating too much food

So what do you guys think? Many who commented already brought up the whole "technically the restaurant didn't fulfill it's promise on the 'all-you-can-eat' bit", so I already "get" that and agree with it, but what about the other aspects of it:

Is the restaurant in the "moral right" here(They also let him run up a tab and have put up with his behavior, whatever it was, in the past.) or the man protesting(He DID pay for all-you-can-eat.....oh and I forgot to mention he's also protesting this....he also called the police when it happened.)?

Should businesses be made to put disclaimers up for such events(Stating "all you can eat, within reasonable exception", etc.), or should they just call such things buffets from now on(and skip the all-you-can-eat part) to avoid such trouble?

Any other thoughts?

I know but do we REALLY want a "certain" forum member coming in here to point out that it's GOG.com, not gog.com? ;)

I'm pretty sure Lexor only minds if it's a mixture of upper and lower case, like... GoG.com!

Ok, I've summoned him, everybody run!

Logotype artistic typography has little to do with trademarked names or proper names in running text.

This reminds me, of this one time, I ate SO MUCH FOOD that I had a heart attack, fell and hit my head, and was in a coma for two years. But it was all worth it, cause when I woke up, I had the ability to sing like Barry Manilow.

Try searching Barry Manilow in the GOG search box and see what happens.....0.o

It's like yellow stripe central.

lol'ed.
"All-You-Can-Eat" is more around the lines of "eat whatever you want not exceeding our profit-turning threshold"

That generally becomes a problem when this guy shows up, more so because he has a running tab that he hasn't paid for yet

Also, dat walking stereotype

When I first saw this yesterday, I immediately thought of Jon Pinette's Chinese Buffet routine: "You been here four hour! You go home now!"

Seriously though, any establishment has the legal right to refuse service to any individual. Frankly I'm surprised they let the guy in to begin with. It sounds like he had a history of more than just eating too much, he was also a very disruptive customer.
