That's {nonsense}.

[MOWGLI]

Not bogus. Sensible.

Perhaps the restaurant should post this as a new policy and enforce it for all. That would settle it.

descrimination for sure

I'm fat. Should I file suit? A fat suit? :sun

There is a local Chinese buffet that has ban a group of teens from their premises - they ate like pigs (both in quantity and general manners) and were loud and obnoxious... was banning them discrimination against teens?

If someone patronizes an establishment 3+ times a week and only eats the most pricey items on a buffet, I can see why the restaurant would tell them to go elsewhere.

The comments about their size are another matter - and they will likely land in court over those comments.

dont restaurants have the right to refuse service to anyone they want? maybe they should have a scale...an industrial scale...and charge you by YOUR weight.

How bout how much those thru hikers eat?
Or how bout that fat lady I saw at a Chinese buffet in FL. She stuffed this mass of food into her cleavage. As she was walking past the cash register, the food dropped down and was falling all the way through her clothes to the floor. It was gross and she was busted.
Or a whole lot of folks who go to Chinese buffets are just plain fat.
What am I saying...the buffet owners are trying to make a buck and see all kinds of people eating up their profits in different ways.
The customers always right? You don't build good will when you call your customers unflattering names.
No bodies right when everybody’s wrong.

It's not about his weight, it's about how much he eats. And they advertise "all you can eat". If they don't mean it, they should advertise, "all you can eat*"

*ten pounds maximum!

Or something like that.

A Buffet is an open table of food. You can eat whatever items are most attractive to you. If you limit which items can be consumed,and in what quantities, it no longer becomes a 'Buffet'. Kicking loud and obnoxious teens out is one thing, banning someone because they eat too much at an 'all you can eat buffet' is false advertising.

"Fools" that ain't whatcha said to me! ;)

[johnny quest]

damn kirk, you swayed my opinion.
the restaurant definitely needs to rethink theyre policy, and make it clear.
i think i remember going to an ayce restaurant once that had a 4 plate limit.

If you have to fight with your customers over how much they're eating, you're not quite getting the "all you can eat" paradigm.

[Lone Wolf]

they need to make everybody eat with chopsticks. no forks or spoons in the restaurant. that'll trim down the fat bastids!

[JAK]

You either have a all you can eat a buffet, or you don't.
It's that simple.

BS, it is their resteraunt, they can do what they please with it. If the courts rule otherwise maybe that'll curtail a little gluttony at these places.
