Man calls cops after being refused further service at All-you-can-eat #1

http://consumerist.com/2012/05/man-c...-fish-fry.html

Quote:
Once again, the phrase "all you can eat" is at the center of a dispute between a restaurant and a hungry customer who says he was cut off without getting his fill of fried fish.

"It's false advertising," the customer told WTMJ-TV as he protested outside the Thiensville, WI, restaurant.

The 6'6", 350-lb customer had gone to the eatery's Friday fish fry last week and was cut off after being served 12 pieces of fish.

"Well, we asked for more fish and they refused to give us any more fish," he recalled.



When asked for comment the restaurant owner replied, " Tis no man, 'tis a remorseless eating machine".

The restaurant tells WTMJ that this man has been a problem customer in the past, and one of the eatery's waitresses confronts him on camera, saying he has an unpaid tab there.

The man admits to having an open account at the restaurant and adds, "They do have like some of the best pizza in town if you like deep dish pizza."

I'm sure the cops made him feel like a complete jackass for calling them for something so stupid. The restaurant has a right to refuse service to anybody. They don't have to explain anything, but if they did they could easily say he was eating too much and they feared for his safety.

They wanted to cut him off at 12 pieces? I suppose that's a hefty amount of food but that falls far short of what I was imagining.

If you're in the position to call out an 'all you can eat' offer, you should probably reevaluate your relationship with food.

Well if you aren't paying for the food, you don't really have a right to complain

Definition of self-respect is respecting oneself. For all we know, the guy is fine with his weight. I know what you mean, though.

There's usually a clause. Like when mobile operators offer you unlimited data, which is actually 3GB. That's particularly underhand, because they have a 1GB limit, called 1GB, a 2GB limit called 2GB, and a 3GB limit called...unlimited. Wait, what?

It's pretty funny how Homer has shifted from being a morbidly obese man, to fairly average thanks to the obesity epidemic.

The clause in this case is that you have to pay for the food. He had an open tab that he wasn't paying.

Completely acceptable IMO.

They called time after 12 pieces? Doesn't seem that much to me. I have often ate a 12 piece bucket of KFC to myself, with the chips and all, and not been *that* full. I'm not fat either. Seems a bit of a stingy limit for an all you can eat place.

Just seen his comment says "we" as well, maybe the 12 pieces were between him and his missus, although not likely looking at his picture lol. Fucking tight-ass restaurant.
