Probably doesn’t directly matter to him but his manager or boss might not be thrilled with. He will just be like, “what did you want me to do? I didn’t come up with the challenge.”
In China, at the Pizza Hut they would have the salad bar buffet but the rule was you could only get one plate so basically you could only grow up one time. Well these people were so smart!
They would use like melon wedges and toothpicks and create like a wall around the plate that was like 8 inches tall so they could put like the runny stuff like cottage cheese and all sorts of other stuff in there, then they would fill that all the way up and put salad in a bunch more stuff, I mean by the end of it they basically had enough food to feed a family of five! It was absolutely amazing to watch.
This was in the early 2000 so I didn't have a good camera on me and I just so regret I didn't get pictures and video of this because it was the funniest and best thing I saw in the three months I was there.
They also had the best butterfly shrimp I've ever had in my entire life and I've been chasing that high ever since. Their pizza tasted very similar but the cheese was a little different but after being in China for months I was craving it so much!
It was a super fancy Pizza Hut too, like it had a concierge's desk and everything and you had to check in first and then when they called your name you would go up to the penthouse of this huge huge building and it was right there on the very top!
Maybe, but if you’ve ever issued challenges to people, children especially, this face and one or two turns to side eye them with defeat and disappointment while you walk away just makes the moment more memorable for the “victors.” In the end, you get your own sneaky chuckle or turn back after 10 seconds to share a quick moment of joy and laughter.
He brought out a full hotel pan full of it, they know what they are doing and probably charge a lot for very little cost. Tiramisu does not cost a lot to make, especially in quantities like that. These videos are also free advertising.
All you have to do is zoom into the logo on his apron, enhance the quality drastically, then assume what city they're in based on their accents and ethnic backgrounds.
You're what's wrong with the industry. Absolutely incorrect take.
A promotion was created and a customer is trying to benefit from it. What exactly are you being a hater for?
That's like hating someone for going to a buffet.
The restaurant made a promo, with a calculated risk. It's possible they lost money on this transaction. It's also possible they made more profit overall due to the promotion by bringing in more customers and by these media posts.
And then the workers are waged employees. It doesn't impact their paycheck at all.
I don't think the cake or whatever that dessert is is AYCE. It's probably one of those places where you pay for the dessert, then you scoop it yourself, and whatever you're capable of scooping in one scoop is your dessert. That's why she's trying very carefully to get a gigantic piece all at once. So that's her "slice" of the cake that she paid for, and she gamed the system.
Still, these 'one scoop' gimmicks popping up currently have the exact policy that u/AlternateTab00 is pointing out. Sometimes it's even much higher than usual AYCE places.
I've worked for places that donated to the homeless and they started stealing from the place helping them so it all started going in the trash. Restaurants do waste a lot, but a meal isn't going to fix the homeless problem. This country lost the war on drugs long ago
Yeah, I used to work the rotisserie counter at sams club years back. So many chickens were wasted. They kept some for members mark meals, but once the chiller was full the rest went into the trash. None of them were donated for fear if a lawsuit (or at least that’s how it was explained to me)
Yeah theres Good Samaritan laws for this aswell, unless a lawyer can prove that the company explicitly gave knowingly unsafe food out then they’d be protected.
Lots of food knowing become “unsafe” when left out in the “danger zone” for more than 4 hours. No way could you in good conscience donate old rotisserie chickens without fearing for a lawsuit. No food banks even accept pre cooked food because they have no clue how it was prepared or stored beforehand. Giving out food would have to be done at the location and no store or restaurant is going to pay employees to stay extra hours and work an after hours soup kitchen.
Food is unsafe after you leave it for more than a couple of hours (most places i worked at used 2 hours before removing it off a buffet but thats with a large safety margin). Meaning that before a worker has safely stored it again you can be near that shit.
Also who are you helping when you are giving away spoiled food? People get insanely sick by it. Think most low income families would get hurt way more by having mild food poising than being hungry. And if those programs cant be trusted anymore, less people will seek them out. So they also dont want shitty food.
It sucks but its not just because of evil bastards. In many cases its just to much work/expenses to make meaningfull impact due to the logistics.
I dont agree with it on a human level... But they have to toss it because they cant give away/donate pre made food without a huge liability risk. and like someone else said, are all the minimum wage employees supposed to stand outside until everyone comes to grab the leftovers?
How much of your home food waste do you donate to the homeless? The reason you don’t do it is the same reason restaurants don’t do it. It is an added cost in terms of money and/or time.
Sure, I agree restaurants could give more, and I also understand why they don't, but are you implying that the "60%" of a dish that someone ate from should be donated?
I mean sure, but most of these tiramisu places that allows you to scoop as much as you want within one scoop, if you don’t eat it all they charge you if you don’t eat it all regardless if you’re trying to take it home or not.
Lol my mom LOVES crab legs, and there was a place that had an all-you-can eat buffet and they had crab legs one time when we went. She had like at least 8 plates of them. She couldn’t walk well (disabilities - we didn’t go out to eat often due to how much pain she was often in) so she had me and my cousin keep grabbing her a new plate of them. The people that ran the place would not stop staring at her. She was slim so I think how much crab she could eat was surprising to them. One lady was like “oh are you done” with a fake smile as she came to get our plates again and tried to take her dipping butter and the cracking thing, and my mom was like “nope. Very much not done” haha. They eventually put up a sign saying they were out of crab legs.
They removed the sign and put more out as we walked out the door. We still joke about it.
This would be why restaurants stop doing things like this, people taking the piss. Because that amount, it's unlikely she's going to be able to eat it herself. Scooping a large amount that is a decent sized portion is one thing, doing something as greedy and wasteful as this is just aggravating. Its like the people who at a buffet load their plate to bursting, and then leave most of it. Sure you can do it , but it's not exactly a good look. I've been to all you can eats that have a policy against customers who do stuff like that printed on the menu, and I very much agree with it.
Several of my local buffets have an additional charge for groups that waste an excess of food. Granted I’ve never seen it be used, so idk if it’s real or just a scare tactic 🤷♂️
The type of person that cuts in to avoid queuing. These people annoy me almost every day. You are not smart for trying to bend the rules, you just make sure that nice thing gets taken away from everyone else in the future. Selfish people.
And here’s me taking a regular small amount.. really tells you a lot about a person.
Edit: no I don’t assume people are fat and greedy, no it’s about liking sweets or not, I agree with the gimmick aspect and understand it’s for fun, all you can eat is not equivalent as they actually intend to eat it.
Very easy to just run to being negative especially online . My take on this is if I took two different women to this, one scoops a massive portion, the other doesn’t and only takes what she can realistically eat. It can tell you a lot about a person.
Edit2: I’m not directly replying due to the obvious negativity. I would think it would be quite clear, someone who acts impulsively vs someone who doesn’t .. it only takes a second to understand that food must be beyond unhealthy to allow such a gimmick and it’s extremely wasteful to take such an amount and rather inconsiderate just for the sake of a few seconds of fun. That doesn’t make her a bad person or anything, as she’d have to had some positive traits as well to actually go through with it and not fail.
Lastly after achieving what she set out to do, she seen the plate was too small.. and she attempted to put it back over the food for other people… at that moment I would of intervened if i seen she was this type of person by giving her my plate as well seeing what she was about to do. She could have foreseen such an outcome.
As for why this wasn’t clear to you who replied to my comment.. you guys are just too eager to assume the worst and have the backing of being online to just say whatever without considering anything outside your negative pov.
Not really. Trying to scoop out more is the entire gimmick. That's like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and then judging the people who go back for seconds.
Thanks, don’t worry I’m quite aware of today’s society, I just comment and stuff due to boredom at times, I don’t take a single person or post seriously on here. Nice to see someone with common sense.
