I think it's a good idea, because then the salad eaters like me can eat for cheap, and the pigs that gorge themselves on mounds of mashed potatoes, pastas, steaks etc. have to pay more. You get a numbered ticket (each family member gets the same number on their ticket) when you first enter the restaurant, and then your plate gets weighed and totaled at the end of each buffet line. You have to show the register person your ticket when you get to each weigh station, and then when you're done with your meal, they give you your bill and you pay on your way out of the restaurant. I'm the first to admit, that we Cheeseheads can consume. And consume. And consume. I'm not sure that this would solve the expensive seafood problem though. I guess in WI, people don't tend to gorge on the seafood. We prefer the steaks and the brats. In WI, a lot of the all-you-can-eat buffets are starting to charge by the pound.

I am not a skinny person by any standards, but everyone else there was huge!! I had one plate full and was stuffed. I was bitchin about paying 9 bucks for 1 plate full, but I know they charge that much thinking everyone will eat a ton. It amazes me that I am fat, because I DO not eat like a pig. Seriously. I love dr. pepper, but thats hardly stuffing tons and tons of food down my gullet. We just went to the super china buffet a week ago.

I think they had a sign that said free pickles. They sure as hell don't have it now. Morgan Spurlock came here for one of his 30 Days episodes and he tried to live on miniumum wage. He went to the restaurant, decided he couldn't afford the food, and proceeded to eat the free pickles. I went there last week. They now have a sign that pickles cost 40 cents apiece if you did not buy a meal. I think the restaurants need to screw the rule posters and just reserve the right to refuse service to these losers.
