Showing Original Post only (View all)350-pound man calls police after all-you-can-eat restaurant cuts him off [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/16/350-pound-man-calls-police-after-all-you-can-eat-restaurant-cuts-him-off/An unusually large man in Wisconsin called the police recently after an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant decided hed had enough fried fish and cut him off at 20 pieces.
Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 350 pounds, Bill Wisth certainly looks like trouble for any buffet restaurant. Chucks Place in Thiensville, Wisconsin recently learned this the hard way, according to Wisconsin news station Todays TMJ4.
After watching Wisth devour 12 individual pieces of fried fish on Friday, May 11, the management decided that was quite enough. They intervened, explaining the restaurant were running out of fish and simply could not allow him to stay any longer.
Giving him eight more pieces as a courtesy, for a total of 20, the restaurants management sent Wisth on his way in hopes that the costly episode was behind them. That hope, however, was severely misplaced.

Jesus, I weigh 300lbs and I can't eat even close to that much! And this guy is a perfect example of "unhealthy fat", I am only 5' 9" and yet a look much thinner than he does!

I think implicit in "all you can eat" is "all an avg person can REASONABLY eat."

It's common knowledge what "all you can eat" means. It means all yu can reasonably

"All you can eat" does NOT mean all that you can eat for a long period of time, sitting there

One of the reasons I like going to buffet restaurants is that their "regulars" make ME look petite.
