Anyone else still remember when buffets were decent quality? What went wrong?
they stopped serving crab legs
>breadThey were always for fats. It's work to pick out all the beef from beef & broccoli, the shrimp out of a seafood casserole and all the other meats and healthy expensive foods out of a sea of unhealthy carbs and other trash food. It can be done. You annoy alot of the workers taking all the good stuff out of a tray and leaving the trash. Or taking all the sashimi off the sushi. Gotta be smart about it but it's work. Only idiots eat bread, noodles, pasta or rice at a buffet.
>>22288801this poster has been randomly sperging out about carbs for years
>>22288810this poster has been randomly projecting his fatness for years
>>22288770They've never been decent quality, you simply grew up.
>>22288770a good buffet experience should be similar to a good bar experience, just as you need to be too drunk to drive to enjoy the bar, you should be to stuffed to drive after a good buffet
>>22288846sperg
>>22288770the people eating at buffets don't generally care about the quality as much as they care about the price
Did anyone else's parents insist on getting one over on the buffet? We weren't poor or food insecure but my parents would yell at us if we didn't eat enough at a buffet. Even when they were complaining about being too full, they'd go back to get another plate of what they guessed was the most expensive food. They'd always tell me I was doing it wrong because I would get the foods I liked most instead of the most costly.
>>22288927sometimes before church my dad would park across from the golden corral, crack open a few beers, and laugh at the fat people going in and out
>>22288770You can't just refer to ALL buffets everywhere as if they've gone downhill. Many buffets are very high quality and you don't eat at them. Nothing went wrong. You have poor taste.
>>22288801>the VALUE in the food is in the EXPENSIVE ingredients. the rest is just FILLER. get your MONEY'S WORTH and shamelessly pick through for the BEST stuff.
>>22288927At least you ended up smarter than your parents. They were fucking stupid and wrong.
>>22288931Church services are earlier in the morning than people coming and going from a buffet. And you can't drink beers in a car.Everything in your story is lies.
>>22288934Cicis is better than it has ever been.
>>22288939NTA but I've drank lots of beers in lots of cars
>>22288942Same. Unjust laws are not meant to be followed.
>>22288942>I've drankYeah, and the damage is obvious.
>>22288937Yes, you need to approach a buffet smartly not like a fat retard that fills up on cheap fat noodles and bread even a obese fuck can make at home. It's fun to laugh at the fatasses eating a plate of macaroni and cheese or mashed potatoes at a buffet. We all laugh. Though we try to contain it, we still point and laugh at those losers. We've been over this topic for years and years.
>>22288994>We've been over this topic for years and years.you mean you've been spamming nonsense for years
Any given item at a buffet is going to have two primary attributes with a combined derived value stemming from those attributes.>monetary value in relation to the filling nature of the itemThis one is easiest to quantify and remains fairly static barring sudden supply chain upsets. Most meats, seafoods and higher quality vegetables will have the highest value here, with things like bread obviously being lowest.>personal visceral pleasure derived from consuming the itemIn contrast to the monetary value, this is an extremely dynamic attribute. Not only will it be different for each individual, it will likely fluctuate throughout a dining experience and even a single plate as different foods require balancing of the palate to maximize the enjoyment of the flavors.>combined derived valueWe combine the previous two attributes to determine the final value of your dining experience. For the average, well adjusted person, they will recognize that a balance between the two attributes can be struck by thoughtful plate selection and pacing. Meanwhile at each extreme you have autists who would spend the entire meal eating fermented geoduck if that was the most expensive item available, and the children who want nothing more than buttered noodles and garlic bread
>>22288871No, some were very good. It's simply that overall enshitification is inevitable.
>>22288994Fuck off, you furry pervert. Everyone laughs at the fact that you like gross cartoons and you've never been laid.Only poor people eat what costs the most rather than what tastes the best. Count your pennies, faggot. lol
>>22288770People who abuse the idea of buffets in various ways becoming increasingly emboldened and entitled in their doing so. Also food is more expensive for restaurants too. Also when ingredients are expensive, it’s less appealing for a restaurant to do a buffet because there is waste. With a menu you can conserve ingredients better. Also chain restaurants do not want to hire the type of employees even minimally competent enough to keep a buffet under control, not over stuffed with waste and not disappointingly under full for customers.>>22288792You know, I would have said this in the past but a local (decent) buffet started serving them again on Friday nights. The type of fellow customer at the buffet on these Friday nights is not the type of customer you’d encounter on Thursday or even Saturday night. It is the crab legs that changed things.Obviously the house doesn’t put out retarded shitloads of crab legs just so they can get cold and potentially be wasted, comes out in medium sized batches. As -soon- as the batches hit the thin (which I don’t even know how they know because the kitchen doesn’t announce it) they descended from all directions and start shoving everyone and being unusually aggressive for a buffet. One thing i’ve noticed is that almost ALL of them have daughters they’ve brought along for the crab. Never seen one care about getting their son crab legs but every time they’re doing some weird aggressive shit for the daughters.Anyway, you can force your way in there but you can also tell, socially speaking, that somebody WILL cause a scene if you assert yourself even microscopically too much. and they’ll probably start some>muh daughter blablablaspeech while they’re at it. It’s so obviously not worth it. I just repeatedly get massive slices of prime rib and it’s fine but jesus christ the crab legs are something else.
>>22289029Name one nice buffet that was better than a nice regular restaurant, because there aren't any. They inevitably suffer from quantity vs quality.
