Banned from buffet

Two men banned from all-you-can-eat buffet for being ‘pigs’
When a restaurant advertises it’s all-you-can-eat, does it really mean all you can eat?

Apparently, no. As George Dalmon and Andy Miles discovered, there is a limit, especially if you eat as much as they do. The two British men have been banned from Gobi restaurant in Brighton, England, after the owner accused them of being “a couple of pigs,” according to The Telegraph.

As The Telegraph reports, the Mongolian barbecue restaurant invites customers to assemble dishes from its buffet “as many times as you wish,” for 12 GBP, or about $19. But the manager, who declined to be named, told the newspaper the pair had been taking advantage of the deal for two years, and were eating the restaurant out of business.

“Basically, they just come in and pig out,” the manager said, adding that the two diners habitually clear out the buffet before other customers have a chance.

Wow, you've gotta be eating like crazy to "eat a restaurant out of business".

If you're not prepared for people with big appetites, then don't be an all you can eat place.

No suprise that they're British, as is the restaurant owner  :

A good friend of mine used to play on the defensive line at McGill.  He and his buddies from the team used to hit an all you can eat buffet once a week.  The restaurant started making them give 24 hrs notice with how many were planning on coming out because of the amount of food they could pack in. 






Edited for grammar.

Quite reasonable in my opinion. Time to prepare for them and not inconvenience others.
They didn't get banned.
