This past Sunday one of the biggest buffet chain restaurants had to close it's doors early. It closed it's doors to new customers at 7:15 instead of 9 because they ran out of certain items that are a favorite with customers. One women paid $50.00 for her and her friends to eat. They ate, but as the food began to diminish she then decided she wanted a refund. Look lady, you ate, got your belly full so leave. Instead the police were called to settle the matter. No refund was give. Good. Sometimes people take advantage.
Think about it. Who ran other buffet restaurants out of business? It was people who paid to eat but at the same time brought LARGE purses with baggies, tin foil and whatever else they could put food in so they could take it home for the rest of the family. This is not right. If anyone is caught doing this they should be escorted out of the restaurant right then and there. If they are not finished eating, too bad.
One person commented that she felt sorry for a hungry family ( how did she know they were hungry) who came from Chicago to eat but were turned away. There are at least 20 places to eat in this area including Old Country Buffet just a few blocks away.
Managers tried to give vouchers to customers to return another day but that wasn't looked upon in a good light. Go ahead folks and turn down a free meal. That alone tells you the class of people who go there. Those kind of customers the restaurant doesn't need.

My mother owns a restaurant that has cafeteria style service and is family style. It's not a buffet, but you can pay a different price to get all you can eat, and keep going back up to the serving line for more.
They have had customers come in there and try to pull stuff off on them a time or two, but otherwise, things have worked out well.
