A man who was on a low-carb diet was in a buffet restaurant eating roast beef like there was no tomorrow. When he came up to ask for his 12th slice of beef the manager started to get rather concerned. The manager wondered whether there would be enough roast beef to go round. Would there be enough for the other customers?

Sui Armaana had been two weeks into the Atkins diet. He had been coming to this restaurant at least twice a week for quite a while.

His wife, Isabelle Leota, Amaama said "It's so embarrassing actually. We went in to have dinner, we were under the impression Chuck-A-Rama was an all-you-can-eat establishment."

The manager of Chuck-A-Rama refuted this. He said that a buffet meal is a syle of eating, it is not an all-you-can-eat system.

When the manager asked the man (and his wife) to stop hogging the meat they got offended and asked for their money back. The manager did not give them their money back. In fact, when they would not leave he called the police.

Asked whether they had any plans to come back to that restaurant the couple said they did not.

Money Back

The manager should have given the customer his money back and asked him not to return to avoid bad publicity and minimize hurt feelings. I for one will never go to Chuck-a-Rama.

Many of us who go to Buffet reataurants consider them an eating competition and a challenge to see how much we can stretch our stomachs. The perfect sport for armchair athletes.
