'Hearty Eaters' Say Buffet Banned Them
HOUMA, La. (AP) - A 6-foot-3, 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet line, then banned him and a relative because they're hearty eaters. A spokesman for the restaurant denies the claim.
Ricky Labit, a disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular for eight months at the Manchuria Restaurant in Houma, eating there as often as three times a week.
On his most recent visit, he said, a waitress gave him and his wife's cousin, 44-year-old Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults.
"She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said.

"Food is for eating, not toys for your child," reads a sign posted on a wall in typewritten text. A handwritten addition reads "Or 20% added."
Now that's a classy joint. :-)

IMHO this is illegal. You can't change a contract mid-stride. If the contract is vague, it is ALWAYS construed to be against the one who drew up the contract. "Or 20% added" is as vague as I can possibly imagine.

Yep!
And, dang it, I am hungry now. I have had a hankering for ham for the last month or so. And no hope in sight to squelch it.

Well, don't know where you live, but there's 2000 places to get ham within a 50-mile vicinity of me right now. :-)
