All-you-can-eat buffets can lead to questionable decisions and embarrassing situations among customers. Accounts shared in response to a query reveal a chaotic atmosphere, including incidents involving patrons collapsing or exhibiting atrocious table manners. Examples include a buffet where customers disregarded emergency responders in their quest for more food and a diner who continued eating despite losing control after consuming spicy wings. These experiences reflect how buffets can turn into memorable yet cringe-inducing environments that challenge diners' perceptions of decency.
"I was a sous chef for 17 years. My last job was in a popular area in the Alps where we had a lunch buffet every afternoon. Once a week, it was themed, and I usually stood at the buffet and made either fresh waffles or pancakes. I had a huge setup with toppings and ice cream at one end. I was in the middle, and at the other end were the items I needed to make the food, like batter."
"When they and the police arrived on the scene with their gear and a stretcher, they had to dedicate one of their own to yelling at customers to stop lining up next to them for more lobster tails. Customers getting lobster (and grabbing from adjacent platters) were stepping over the EMTs' gear to get more food and get back to their tables. I can't seem to bring myself to go back to that buffet now."
"I was at an all-you-can-eat buffet in middle America when the guy in the booth next to me pooped his pants after eating hot wings. He wasn't embarrassed and jovially warned his friends that you definitely should not 'fart with confidence after eating the hot wings.' He continued to eat hot wings."
