If they eat all the food its OK. but if they do not eat all the food then they are fined?, its utter nonsense. How so..... if they eat all the food, they took what they needed, if they do not, they took more than they needed and caused waste! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you read more carefully before throwing a tantrum. No Tantrum thrown Sir, it is your misbelief in what a contract is if the items have not been paid for yet and the fine print would lay it out...try again. Contract law does not apply to a food establishment. However, I would say for your point that you yourself should sign a contract upon entering the establishment and then it might be enforceable in regards to all codes and covenants as long as you read all of the fine print unlike Charlie in the Chocolate Factory..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can fight any conditions, however if they are reasonable ((like these are) your just wasting money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The morons pile all the food up on their plates, but don't or can't eat it all.....so it goes to waste....hence the fine. Seems fair to me. I don't know the full details of this but I think it's fairly common in places like this to fine if you take a lot of food you don't eat. I think Hot Pot do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Just because Thai's love to eat fat, gristle and "soft bone" that is not going to make me feel obligated to do the same! ( I prefer to eat healthy and keep my cholesterol to a minimum) If you lived in a country where all the locals tattooed their entire bodies or put plates into their lips and ears would you follow suit just to adapt to the local ways or would you "kick against the pricks"? ????

Can't do that in the USA. I felt bad for a Chinese buffet in San Antonio, Texas, obesity capital of the USA, if not the world. Last place on earth you'd want to open up an all-you-can-eat place. Eating there years ago, I'd see pigs wolf down chicken, and later look both ways, then dump even more food into a bag they'd stuffed in their purse. Evil people. Lasted less than a year.

I can't believe that people........even in expensive hotels.....steal food.....bread buns, cheese and ham from the breakfast buffet....or worse, pile their plates up and leave a mountain of food totally untouched...... even three or four slices of bread!!!! I once saw a women take back to her room the big, fresh fruit platter that is usually positioned on the way out of the hotel restaurant......unbelievable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been a "all you can eat" shabu. They do have "a la carte" Shabu. But I can see where they ordered a plate of a certain cut of meat and when it arrived they saw that it is full of gristle and fat and did not bother cooking it and ordered more of a different cut. They do not say what the size of the "party" was so it could have been 6-10 people and if each patron cast aside several plates of fat and gristle marbled meats you could come up with 20 plates fairly quick. What should have done by the patron and his guests was to return the meats they found offensive immediately after receiving it. This hopefully would have solved everything. But then again the management may have quibbled over taking the meat back once it hit their tables. If only people would communicate better.... ????

The idea is that most people can't eat more then two full plates, especially when they keep filling your drinks all the time.

mtls2005 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Visited Sushiro at Central World yesterday, a popular conveyor-belt sushi place here - with a long, long history in Japan. Stipulating that this is not a AYCE-buffet place; you pay by the plate (40/60/80/120 baht). Once you pluck the plate off the conveyor belt you buy it, consumed or not. Was wondering if they have any issues with folks slipping unconsumed plates back on the belt? Probably not as everyone likely understands the concept. Awesome place.

They would be told where to go if anyone tried to fine me . Most post, if not all post at the buffet's, you will be charged for excess food left on yor plate. Usually, a certain weight. Take all you want, and some have a time limit, but eat all you take! Who can blame them with the amount of waste some do. Imagine, this patron having consequences for their action. Must comes as a shock that no one ever holds them accountable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
