"'Tis a remorseless eating machine ..."


Where I come from, "buffet" means eat-'til-you-can't-eat-no-more. Looks like some folks in Louisiana need to be schooled 'bout buffets, and then some:

"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 [Louisiana], 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.'"

...

"Ya'll fat, and ya'll eat too much" ... ain't that a hate crime?!
