Large Louisiana men claim restaurant banned them for eating too much

[Edwina's Secretary]

I remember being in a Pizza Hut in Milwaukee some years ago. I was with some co-workers, one of whom was a VERY large man. Also in the restaurant was a woman with her son. The first question was why the son was not in school. The mother was large.....very, very large. Very, very, very large. Her son...probably around 10 was working hard to catch up to mom.

They both made trip after trip to the all-you-can-eat buffet. After trip, after trip. The rather large man in my group said he could eat no more...he was so offended by the abuse of the service provided by the restaurant.

I suppose that Pizza Hut no longer has a buffet.

Restaurants are businesses. If they cannot make money, they cannot stay in business.

Of course, they do not say "All you can eat in one sitting" so I suppose they should allow me to take "all I can eat in a week" and pack it up and I'll take it with me.

And then the restuarant will close...or otherwise change how they do business and people will complain about the owners.

Just goes to show ya that we have to be careful about how we word things. Years ago, when my son was just a little boy and I was working full time, I told my babysitter who was financially struggling to "help yourself to whatever food you like". Ok, I meant to eat while she was there. I came home from work that night and was wiped out and I mean totally. She took everything in my fridge, freezer, pantry, etc., even a 5 lb. bag of sugar that would normally take me a year or more to go through. Needless to say, I got another babysitter and let it go because, as I said, she was financially struggling and apparently was hungry. LOL
