'Hearty Eaters' Say Buffet Banned Them-'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'
'Hearty Eaters' Say Buffet Banned Them
HOUMA, La. (AP) - A 6-foot-3, 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet line, then banned him and a relative because they're hearty eaters. A spokesman for the restaurant denies the claim.
Ricky Labit, a disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular for eight months at the Manchuria Restaurant in Houma, eating there as often as three times a week.
On his most recent visit, he said, a waitress gave him and his wife's cousin, 44-year-old Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults.
"She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said.
Labit and Borrelli said they felt discriminated against because of their size. "I was stunned, that somebody would say something like that. I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277," Borrelli said, adding that a waitress told him he looked like he a had a "baby in the belly."

His delusions are sickening! >:(
(not to mention his lack of willpower!)

HOUMA, La. (AP) - A 6-foot-3, 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet line, then banned him and a relative because they're hearty eaters. A spokesman for the restaurant denies the claim.

Houma accountant Thomas Campo said the men were charged an extra $10 each on Dec. 21 because they made a habit of dining exclusively on the more expensive seafood dishes, including crab legs and frog legs.
"We have a lot of big people there," said Campo, who spoke for owner Li Shang, whose English is limited. "We don't discriminate."
Labit denied ever being told he would be asked to pay more than the standard adult price.
The argument grew heated, and police were called.
The police report states, "The incident was settled when the management advised that the bill was a mistake and, to appease Ricky, the meal was complimentary."
Labit said he insisted on paying but was told not to come back. He complained that when seafood on the buffet line runs out, the restaurant only grudgingly cooks more.
Campo said the proprietress tries to reduce waste of quality food, he said.
"Food is for eating, not toys for your child," reads a sign posted on a wall in typewritten text. A handwritten addition reads "Or 20% added."

Fat people and their habits... ::)
-
Dunno what pissed me off more..the fat, greedy fucks or the capitalist girls trying to welsh out of 'all you can eat' buffet.
I went to to Chinese all you can eat buffet and I could tell they didn't like my frequent trips back to the buffet with my child size plate. I actually ate until past full becuase the chinaman annoyed me so much.
-
Fat people should be charged double. They demolish the entire buffet for Christ sake.

only in america

So do bodybuilders. In this particular situation I think I might have to side with the fatasses. An all you eat buffet should be exactly that, all you can eat.
-
I don't like fat girls but I hate the slanty eyed greedy wee chinkies even more. They always look to me like they are the midst of masturbation with their screwed up wee eyes.

You'll never see bbdr's at a buffet stuffing their faces like some of the fat cows in this country.

Doesn't matter how much the pig eats. If it is advertised as an all you can eat buffet they have no right to attempt to charge him more than someone else.

True enough. Good point.

Burt Reynolds..... :-\

Every time I read this thread it makes me want to go to the buffet and see if I can get charged double
-
the point of running a restaurant is to make money. In my opinion Fat peoples should be charged double, they are eating twice the food.

you're a big guy, dzulboy. I'd put on my running shoes.

Or they simply should not advertise their buffet as 'all you can eat'. I have 10% bodyfat yet I eat double what most people do..if I go to Mr Chan's 'all you can eat buffet' then I expect to be able to eat as much as I like with as many trips to his buffet table as I wish to make.
Basically, they want to advertise it as all you can eat but it's actually an 'all we want you to eat ' buffet.
It's false advertising and they should not try to shame or intimidate people into eating less than they want. Christ, they already start by giving you a childsize plate. Fuck them, don't have an all you eat buffet if you're going to get called on it. It's obviously going to attract big eaters. It's like waving a red flag at a bull and crying about getting a horn in your ass.

All you NORMAL PEOPLE can eat
read between the lines... it's ALL you can eat. YOU = HUMAN not Elephant

Burt Reynolds..... :-\
I think that guy looks like Norm McDonald dressed as Burt Reynolds from the Jeopardy skits on SNL.
"Turd Ferguson, it's a funny name."

Nice how you prove to everyone on here that you don't belong. EPic owning of yourself not knowing who that is. Oh let me guess, you are kidding around. Massive stupidity. Hey go join a gym then come back on here in a few years. You truly have no business on here if you don't know who the people are who made a HUGE mark in the industry. Nice try though. hahahaha
