Ah, I see you know your judo!

The Egyptian hypnotist scene was one of the funniest things I had ever seen at the time 🤣

I've got some great nostalgia for the Asterix movies, dubbed in my native language, from watching them as kids.

Recently on some Christmas we met with family and ended up watching Mission Cleopatra (or however it's translated), for Christmas. No regrets.

Good art is timeless

I hate the idea that giving money back can just fix things. If the guy paid for all you can eat then is stopped halfway though but given his money back literally no one is happy, instead of a nice (if massive) meal as planed he has been put though a bad time and the restaurant just lost food for nothing.

Same with shit like amazon, you buy a thing wait for it and then after a month they go "oh well" and give you your money back like it "undoes" the time you spent without the thing you bought but never got, the frustration or even the time without money.

I see nothing wrong with a time limit - it just enforces the idea that you're paying for one meal. But the more I think about it, normal restaurants serve you the amount they want you to eat. All you can eat restaurants offer a distinctly different product, which it seems like they should be prepared to deliver even when it's occasionally more than they prefer.

My friend got him beat. He once went to Golden Carroll for breakfast they finally kicked him out during the dinner service. Only reason he got away with it so long is he would switch tables also tip wait staff real good. Besides doubt they gave a shit. But management sure hell did. He almost got banned. But when me and brother threaten not to ever return if he was they relented. Besides by then he was to broke to come without us paying so that wasn't ever going happen again.

Yet it is cool crazy story and amazing when you learn it true.

Accordingly, should people who don't eat much ask for a discount?

didn’t sell food or drinks

Wait, they tried to run on just the cost of the machines?!

Wow is there a word for being business blind? That is like not selling smokes or scratch tickets at a gas station.

In Estonia we call it "rootsi laud" or "Swedish table". You can just keep on going to refill your plate with anything you want. On average people pay for more than they eat so the few outliers like me stuffing tons of salmon on my plate don't make the place bankrupt.

I think hotel breakfasts do this in most of the world, but here we also have it on ships, where the food is actually good

So no, it isn't unique to the US.

It's a fairly common thing in France, especially for asian theme restaurants in my experience.

I mean do they have all you can eat buffet anywhere else but America?

They most certainly do have places that offer unlimited amounts of food for a fixed price, but not necessarily in the form of a Chinese buffet and often using a different name for it, in for example Belgium it would usually be called à volonté while in for example Switzerland it would usually be called à discrétion.

HA!

Wait are you serious? YES people all over the world love all you can eat, much like people tend to like eating.

There is this cafe in my vicinity in Norway that does that. It was situated on the main highway going south from Oslo, but ended up a bit out of the way when the new modern multi lane road was built. They do decent food, nothing exceptional. Two or three main courses with associated sauces, selection of deserts, selection of steamed vegetables. You have to drive to get there and it seems well visited the few times I have been there the last five years.

They do have a good reputation for catering. Think that's what keeps them "real" proftlitable.

Pizza Hut in the UK has all you can eat. That's the only place I've ever seen it done though, unless you count free drink refills at IKEA.

"All you can eat" is a binding contract.

Jury Member: That could’ve been me!

You don’t think that people who burn more calories through physical exertion will need to consume more calories through food?

At one time I researched hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. It was recommended to plan for a 4000-5000 calorie / day diet. But most thru-hikers found it was physically impossible to carry enough food and they lost 30-40 pounds on average over the course of the hike.

Appalachian trail is a little bit easier in terms of access to civilization.

I'm not either but biking 30 miles to get groceries in the mountains made me feel so hungry like I was desperate for water in the desert. I would eat beforehand, eat 3-4 chicken sandwiches when I got into town, and then eat a ton afterwards. If I didn't eat snacks on the road, I would have to walk up the hills and of course there was plenty of lay down in the street cramps from hell. You'd be surprised how many calories rigorous exercise burns. I'm not talking about light hills, it's the if the bikes brakes fail, the helmet ain't doing much and I probably would die. But hey I got great pictures.

I mean I'm not a doctor,

You could have just stopped there before embarrassing yourself.

There was one like 3 or so videos ago that I was sure would end the series, between the warm sushi, curdled Mac and cheese, and mystery meat. But nope, I think he has built an immunity.

Thanks lol. Lemme try again, idk how I posted the ad.
