Louie Anderson had a bit in his standup routine about being accosted by the owner at a Chinese buffet:

"You go now.  You been here four hour!"   :-)

Louie Anderson? I thought it was John Pinette who did that bit.

I've seen families come in there and they go straight there and take every crab leg out of there, wrap them up, and put them in a bag. Perhaps they should just charge an extra fee for a high end portion of the buffet to accomodate the portly or the classless.  :-)

Do like most buffets, post a "No Carryouts" sign, then charge the hell out of them for stashing it in the bag.

I understand that sentiment, but on the other hand, if you advertise all you can eat then renege on it, how is it different from bait and switch advertising?
The business owner made the choice to do that kind of business.
