The economics of all-you-can-eat buffets

quote [ Is it possible to out-eat the price you pay for a buffet? How do these places make money? We looked at the dollars and cents behind the meat and potatoes. ]

All you can eat (yum yum)

We were at sizzler one night, and while sitting in our booth, my mother-in-law told us to check out the kid sampling all the food at the salad bar.

The little 8-year old Blutarski clone crammed a bunch of shrimp into his grotesquely huge maw, and then proceeded to take his still-moist-with-spittle porky-pig fingers, and see if the shredded cheese tasted as good as it looked. I guess it did, because, after that, he ended up taking a big ol' bite of a chocolate chip cookie, decided he was full, and put the 1/3rd of it he didn't finish back on to the tray.

Haven't been able to eat at a buffet since then.

You're welcome...
