All You Can Eat Dispute

You are all missing the point. The THE SIGN SAID, ALL YOU CAN EAT. They should be sued for false advertising, but instead,they have morons like some of you agreeing with them.

Gee, bearfoot, a grammar mistake and a re-directing link in just half a line. Impressive.

What an ignorant dolt this fellow is. I agree with a prior post that links negative worldwide sentiments regarding Americans in general with the fact that the morbidly overweight, undereducated, prejudicial half-wits are overtly publicized by media outlets as the "voice" of the common man, when in reality the rest of America despises their lowbrow antics as much as the next civilized country.

A couple things got missed in the reporting of this story - the man had no money when he went to the restaurant and ordered the dinner anyway. The man ordered one dinner, but then passed the fish around with a friend who did not order anything. If you go to the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access on Google and plug in this man's name you will discover page after page of unpaid property taxes, foreclosures, civil suits -- that fish man does not seem to actually pay for anything in life!! They need to boot his size 64 waist to the curb!!

The way we deal with this issue at the restaurant I work at, Zeno's Taverna, is to reduce the amount of each succeeding serving by one half.

Arrr...'Tis no man. 'Tis a remorseless eating' machine!

This guy is a buffoon - albeit a clever one. The restaurant should refuse him future service, especially if he doesn't even pay his bill. I doubt they will lose much (worthwhile) business over his protests. Good riddance.

Bet this is the same kind of person who'd sue if he had a heart attack in their restaurant for making him fat.

This guy and the Mathematician in the article listed above need to have a brain storming session...

Slob.

I visited a local restaurant recently that had all you can eat tacos. After serving the first plate of 4 small tacos the waitress came back and told us they were out of taco meat so they were no longer serving tacos. We paid our bill and left vowing never to return.
This restaurant also had all you can eat fish that they weigh down with grease or oil so it is really heavy and weighs down in your stomach. After 6 pieces you feel like you've eaten 18 pieces of regular fried fish.

I'm surprised more 'all you can eat' restaurant do not incorporate this strategy.

I've always wondered about all you can eat places. It obviously must attract people who care about quantity, not quality. I suppose they are hoping they will fill up on fries and bread and not the fish, but still, in my opinion, they are asking for something like this.

Watched the video this morning on CNN. The restaurant had given him an open tab which he has not paid to try and appease him from a prior incident. The owners need to learn refuse him service and make him pay his bill.

i bet hes a shitty tipper... just sayin

It annoys me how much the rest of the world hates us, and then I read something like this. What that fat pig shoved in his face could've fed a village.

All you can eat means exactly what it says. They can refuse to serve him altogether, that's their right, but once he's started to eat they've essentially entered into a contract - they've agreed to feed him 'all you can eat'.

You could argue that they were running low on supplies and perhaps he should have been the better man and accepted that other customers would also be affected by the shortage, but that's bad planning on the restaurant's part - the signs says they are open for 11 hours, and if the place is busy that's a lot of fish, so one 'big eater' wasn't to blame for the shortage, even if you assume he packed in enough to feed 4 or 6 'normal' all-you-can-eaters.

Fish is a tricky one for these kinds of offers - it doesn't sit heavily in your stomach so most people can eat more of it than, say, all-you-can-eat steak, which take much longer to digest.

if it says "all you can eat" then it should be so. Meanwhile they are making money on people like me who go with their families but eat very little. So I don't feel bad for them. Depending on the customer, sometimes you will make money, sometimes not.

Perhaps with all that protesting he will finally lose some weight....

This guy totally stole this from the episode where Homer went to the Frying Dutchman and didn't get all he could eat!
