People who overfill their plates.... - Page 2

I think people intend to eat what they take, then maybe don't like the foods or fill up quick.

Hmmm . . . when I leave a substantial amount on my plate it's only because what looked appetizing turned out to have a taste or texture I found inedible.

I'm not big on throwing away food, but I'm thoroughly over the idea I have to eat something I don't like just because it's on my plate. But i don't heap up 4 servings at once either.

even if they DIDNT pile the extra food on, where do you think all of the leftover buffet food goes?

Trying to get their money’s worth maybe...

I avoid buffets whenever possible.

Some people may fear not having enough with enough having no parameters in their logic. Probably from somewhere in the reptilian brain.

@sunshine45 Some buffets I’ve been to donate the leftovers on the line to soup kitchens/homeless shelters. Maybe if they put up a sign at the start of the line that the food would be going there, folks would think twice about pigging out.

@Shanus

My brain stopped at "rang the bell" to announce the fresh rolls

That kinda says it all!

Hope you got yours!

Yes, to all you logical people, I know all the underlying causes of such things, but.....I am always surprised at the lack of restraint.

Someone mentioned that it was likely thrown out anyway, but that's not always true.

I worked as a server in my youth, and some things left at the buffet were repurposed for the next round.

This same place also used to dump the uneaten dinner rolls in a big bin in the kitchen and grated them for bread crumbs. I'm sure it was a health code violation, but the owner was a semi-violent/crazy guy and I wasn't going to confront him.

Needless to say, I didn't work their very long.

Sorry about your brother.

Why is everyone looking at someone's else's plate and judging.
