Honestly, I don’t believe its fair to say “all you can eat” unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.
But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

I get what you’re saying OP, but ‘all you can eat’ doesn’t mean eat, digest for a few hours and go eat more…
Personally, raised with 5 other siblings, I don’t normally hold back so I’d be waddling out in 45 minutes flat questioning my life decisions for the following 18hrs.
But I do know people who would try to take full advantage and try to time it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
washee-washee read this out in my head
Imagine if you will…
A society so morally bankrupt…
That a sign like this is necessary.
😂
Do you want to suggest that all Chinese people are morally bankrupt?!?
I think they’re referring to people who set up camp at a table or two at these all you can eat buffets.
They typically sit at a larger area (normally next to the television), and are usually accompanied by children or infants.
They stay for hours on end and will occasionally get up to grab more food.
I don’t see how anyone can do that to themselves. Imagine sitting at a restaurant all day watching daytime television and eating food, my ass is hurting just thinking about it.
I love a good buffet and can put one out of business with the amount I eat at one, but I can’t see myself being at a table or in a booth for more than an hour.
I don’t think this English-language sign is in China, oddly enough
I don’t think Chinese clients are the issue when it comes to abusing all you can eat places…
This is quoting a famous stand up comedy routine by John Pinnette:
This runs through my head every time I think about buffets.
May he rest in peace. I miss his comedy.
“You can’t make me stop. The sign says 'All you can eat for 16.99.”
"Yes sir. 4 plates is all you can eat for $16.99.
Each plate you get a semi-perm tattoo on your hand to keep track.
Excellent broken English.
What you mean? The English function fine.
Do these seem like the actions of a man who had “ALL HE COULD EAT?”
seriously though just put a 1 hour limit on it
It’s all you can eat in 4 hours restaurant
3 hours 59 minutes* restaurant
It’s not all you want to it, it’s all you CAN eat! Bwahahahahaha!!
When I was a kid 84 yrs ago, me and my friend would go to Sizzler for all-you-can-eat. We’d stay about 4 hrs, we would try to eat as much as we could and try to drop a deuce to eat more lol.
…and I just realized that’s like bullemia of the ass.
When I was a kid 84 yrs ago
lol 😂
There was an attempt to make a funny post by a person who doesn’t know this is a direct quote from a comedian.
Could you cite the direct quote? Curious because I typed it up myself based on my own thought. The photo is more like a meme now.
John Pinette is who you’re looking for.
🙏
Sorry I couldn’t get you a link. I was in a hurry when I replied.
Alright, who tried to squat in this restaurant after paying for the buffet?
The entry was $18, the sign said open 24hrs…I was just trying to save on rent and food.
Tough times, tough times
There have definitely been instances where I’ve stayed at a Chinese buffet for almost 3 hours, and they didn’t really care. I got my food, sat down to eat and relax, and we didn’t bother each other
My school has labeled the main cafeteria “All You Care to Eat”, which I still think has a loophole.
“… in the 11 minutes you have scheduled for lunch”
I went with my Vietnamese colleague to an all you can eat sushi place in Savannah after we spent two weeks doing hurricane response when I was still in the Coast Guard. This dude ate 32 rolls of sushi, and the old lady running the place loved him. At a certain point, I think she just wanted to see how many it would take before he tapped out. I think I ate ten or twelve rolls, and just sat there in awe while the dude just kept shoveling food into his mouth. To be fair, we’d been working 20 hour days for two weeks and the ship was running out of food before we pulled into port.
Later on, found out that same dude cheated on his wife, then found out his wife was pregnant, they tried to work it out, she had a miscarriage, and he filed for divorce two weeks later. Fun times
Have you ever considered writing for the Saw films?
Let’s play a game
You’re hired!
When you say roll, do you mean the entire cylinder of sushi?
Or do you mean the bite sized circle of one sushi entree?
I can’t imagine a person scarfing 30 cylinder entrees of sushi unless they’re a competitive eater or something. That’s nuts.
Full roll, not just individual pieces. Most places I’ve been to have 4-7 pieces in a roll, this place had 10 or 12
I’m wondering the same. 32 pieces of sushi is easy, I’ve done that many times in my life. 32 full rolls? Jesus. I think I’ve done 5 or 6 max.
They gotta mean individual pieces, not full rolls. The volume alone of 32 full rolls is just more than a stomach could fit!
Nope, full rolls. Big rolls too, 10-12 pieces each, and that’s not counting the sashimi and other appetizers.
Damn that’s insane then!
It was pretty impressive. And a bit disgusting
I liked the first half of this story :(
That second third was pretty good too, but it dropped off pretty quickly from there.
That’s a new copy pasta
It must’ve been the 100 rolls of sushi that provoke the cheating…
Honestly the rolls they were serving were at least double the size of most other places I’ve gone. Might’ve had something to do with the major hurricane that just rolled through tho
I had a sushi binge once back in college. I went to eat lunch with my friends at the local Vietnamese place and we definitely overate. I was supposed to meet with my frat sponsor later that night and was worried that I might not get dinner before 9pm. Turns out my sponsor had planned to surprise me by taking me out to a fairly upscale sushi place for dinner since he knew I loved it. We get to the restaurant and he orders “the boat” which contains like 50+ pieces of sushi (for just the two of us). When the food came out I was worried I wouldn’t be able to eat but turns out I can make extra space for sushi. I demolished that boat and ate more than my sponsor. He was legit impressed when I finally admitted that I had eaten a big lunch before hand.
Sushi Zanmai?
I honestly don’t remember the name of the place. It was almost 20 years ago.
Imagine four guys that workout a lot, trying to gain mass after a cut, going to an all you can eat sushi place…
The waitress was just laughing her ass off when passing by our table and seeing another order slip, we filled the table four times before we felt we had enough…
Oh I can imagine. Two young military officers coming off a few weeks at sea working 20+ hour days led to this story. We went back with more people the next day, and I thought we were gonna clear the place out
What size? Normal or big (futomaki)?
Big
That was an M. Night Shamalamadingdong twist to a story about buffets.
What an emotional rollercoaster this story was
