Default Homer Simpson IRL

http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity...estaurant.html



A U.S. man has declared war against the restaurant that cut him off during an all-you-can-eat fish fry last week.

Bill Wisth, who is six foot six and 350 lb., admitted to local news station TMJ4 that his appetite is heartier than most.

Still, he said, turning away any diner at an all-you-can-eat affair is "false advertising."

On Friday evening, Wisth went to Chuck's Place in Thiensville, Wisconson for an all-you-can-eat fish special. He had already consumed 12 pieces of fish when the restaurant stopped serving him.

Wait staff told TMJ4 that they were running out of fish and that Wisth had been a problem customer in the past. They gave him eight additional pieces of fish and asked him to leave.

Wisth promptly called local police. "I think that people have to stand up for consumers," he told reporters.

Two days later, he returned to the restaurant with a picket sign that read "Poor business practices!"

Wisth has promised to return and picket every Sunday until the restaurant rethinks their position in the argument.

According to a waitress at Chuck's Place, Wisth still has an unpaid tab.

What's your take on the all-you-can-eat debate? Should restaurants be able to cut off diners who consume an exceptional amount of food, or is this unfair?

Clearest case of false advertising since the never-ending story IMO.

Marge: Well, we pretty much went straight home.
Lionel Hutz: Mrs. Simpson, remember that you are under oath.
Marge: We drove around until three in the morning looking for another open all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant.
Lionel Hutz: And when you couldn't find one?
Marge: [crying] We... went... fishing.
Lionel Hutz: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, do these sound like the actions of a man whose had ALL he could eat?
[the jury is made up of fat, obese people]
Jury: No, no.
Jury Man: No, that couldn't 've been me

All-you-can-eat should charge by the pound.

I'm pretty sure that's Rick Majerus in a NASCAR hat 3-5 sizes too small for his enormous head.

They should do the Monty Python approach instead. Feed him until he explodes.

They should let you take food home from an all-you-can-eat buffet. Note the distinction between all-you-CAN-eat and all-you-DO-eat. I've left buffets where I could stuff some more in, but why should I have to?
