A Simpsons Situation Has Become Reality.

[RJ 17]

Remember wwwaaaayyy back when the Simpsons were actually still good? It's a long way back, I know, might need to dust off your diaries and journals and/or invent a time machine, but I swear they used to be worth watching.

Anyways, there was one episode in which Homer sues an All You Can Eat seafood restaurant for false advertisement because they kicked him out before he had all he could eat.

Well apparently that exact same situation (minus the lawsuit, I believe) has officially occurred:

Captcha: "Easy As Cake". I don't know about you, but making cake isn't always easy. Well I take that back, making cake is easy, making GOOD cake isn't.

He's a moron:
"...Despite servers giving Wisth an additional eight pieces to take home, he was sufficiently disgruntled that he called the cops..."
He wanted it TO GO, not there. Damn, the nerve people have. I just throw up in the bathroom and eat some more. Roman etiquette and table manners away!

"I think that people have to stand up for consumers," he said
I somehow can't imagine many consumers have the problem of eating more than a restaurant specialized on making a lot of food can supply.
Sure, technically he should be allowed to eat all he can but I think a dozen servings plus the offered eight pieces to take home should be a more than reasonable "all".

Captcha: the Dunkin' Donuts logo... interesting choice

Oh for god's sake.

 

[Biodeamon]

Also homer's theoroy of a donut shaped universe has actually become highly plausible.

 

[Rylot]

This twat's picket is probably some pretty good advertizing for the restaurant. He's just bringing attention to the fact that they served him twelve servings and gave him another eight to take home. That's going above and beyond 'all you can eat'.

 

[Stu35]

Hmmm, I guess if this dude and folks like him were used as an argument more, I would understand the American aversion to universal healthcare... I wouldn't want my tax money going to pay this fat cunts medical bills either.

(Seriously, in the UK, fatty foods should be taxed in the same way cigarettes are.)


Anyway, fuck it, I'd eat at that place - they deserve the business after putting up with this ****.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

I like how he went to a seafood restaurant and only ate the chicken. The real question is was it saltwater chicken or freshwater chicken?

EDIT: Herp-a-derp I'm a dumbass. He had fish. I don't know why I thought it was chicken, it was that evil Colonel Sanders Your Honor, he told me to do it, I swear!

Hutz: "Mrs. Simpson, could you describe what happened after you were kicked out of the restaurant?"
Marge: "Well...we drove around looking for more all-you-can-eat seafood restaurants..."
Hutz: "And when you couldn't find any?"
Marge: "We...went fishing..."
Hutz: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, does that sound like the actions of a man who had "all he could eat?"
Jury (filled with a bunch of fatties): "*starts grumbling, then one man stands up* HELL NO!"

If you ate so much at an all-you-can-eat buffet that they had to kick you out, I think it's time to put the fork down.

 

[RatRace123]

Most people don't actually take "all you can eat" as a challenge. And in total that dude got 20 helpings, at that point I think you can stand to be done.

 

[VonKlaw]

I would love to say that people assuming all you can eat means more than "eat until you are actually full rather than a set meal size that you may or may not be hungry after still" is something that could only occur in America, but then I remembered the Pizza Hut lunch buffet over here. =/

The asshole is lucky they even offered to let him take anything away with him.

Yeah, asking for a doggy bag is something different. There's always some fine print somewhere about that; the only all you can eat places that allow it around here charge by the pound for takeout.

By the way, a guy really did get kicked out of an all you can eat restaurant a few years back for eating too much. It was a Chinese restaurant in Florida, although I don't remember offhand if there was a lawsuit or if the restaurant owners just got a public shaming in the form of a local news broadcast. Probably the latter.

Edit: No, wait. They offered the guy more fish to take home, as part of kicking him out, not to make him happy when he asked to take it home. The MSNBC story is an example of the same thing I described, just more recent.

I think it's good he is picketing the restaurant, he could use the exercise

Really? As the person who gets to throw out of the restaurant and clean up after people who do this, I hate you, please don't suggest that it's so disgusting, and the nerve they have saying "But it's all you can eat" Yes, yes it is, therefore if you have to vomit to keep eating you've already had all you can eat and therefore you can get out of here, eh sorry I just really hate it when people do that.
