>Buffet manager stopped me taking food


I went to Texas De Brazil, which is one of those Brazilian all you can eat meat places, like Fogo De Chou.

My dad threw a bitch fit about me bringing a small container to bring home some left overs I knew I was going to have. They always give you tons of meat to the point you receive food faster than you can eat.

But besides the family drama of my dad not approving of taking buffet food home b/c its not allowed, how much are the higher end buffet willing to enforce their "no taking leftovers home" policy. They seem to have no problem if someone requested more meat than they can finish and they throw it out. But if they even try taking a single piece out they get policed by the manager.

The other restaurant employees didn't really seem to care. The first round of left overs I passed by many restaurant employees and they looked the other way, I just didn't pass by the manager in the suit. But once I tried the 2nd time, and my dad ratted me out making it obvious, the manager demanded I don't bring the food home. He was very stern about the rules, like if I took it home with me, he said I could never come back. I personally don't think the manager cares if I got away with it, I think he just has to enforce rules for company policy.

But if they know the food is going to be thrown out and a person only had a reasonable amount of leftovers, why not give them the joy to take it home? Why would they want to deny someone left overs? It's like if they can't get money for it, they rather throw it out. It's a $50 a person buffet place, so I assume the manager is thinking like if I took the left overs home, he may lose out on another $50 b/c I wouldn't feel like coming back to dine there.

Do you consider people who need ranch and or blue cheese with wings weak?

Anyone else bring there own food to a bbq? For instance cousin is a moron, know he will buy some shitty 85/15 meat and not 80/20 or not Angus, so I brought bison over for them to cook me.

How do you feel about people wearing hats while dining?
