I want to run my buffet like an interstate weigh station.
You're weighed when you come into the restaurant, everything else is like the average buffet. You finish your food and make your way to the cashier. You're weighed and then you only pay let's say 10.75$ per pound of food you eat.

Unless there's some additional benefit of weighing the person instead of the food, it's probably just going to embarrass some people and make them not want to do that

A glass of water would be expensive my fat American friend.

Weigh the plates and add a surcharge for every gram of unfinished food.

I would put on a fat suit, load it with 10 lbs. dumbbell weights, ditch them in the bathroom and replace with food, then go to the register and make you pay me for taking your food with the threat of bad Yelp reviews.

>ditch them in the bathroom and replace with food
Sounds dumb. Dumbbell plates cost more than most prepared foods, so unless that restaurant is serving some high-end shit your plan loses money.

Plastic bags filled with sand or water would make more sense.

if you really need to measure how much is consumed by weight just place scales under the buffet plates people take food from

Will your business hours also be completely random with no warning?

Will you occasionally pull patrons aside and waste an hour or more of their time inspecting them to make sure they are worthy of dining at your shitty establishment that on the whole is just a bad experience for everyone involved?

Do you think those trucks are picking up freight at the state line on the interstate? Or is your metaphor just retarded?

Moronic, a lot of people won't want to be weighed by some wage cuck. Not to mention how exploitable it is, load up on water before then piss and/or take a dump while there. Maybe even take in a few rocks in your pocket then flush them too. I bet you'd have to pay me 10.75 after I ate at your autistic buffet.

My metaphor is obese Americans standing in line waiting to be weighed like the queue at an interstate weigh station. Just a long line of double wide big rigs lol.

My point still stands. He isn’t Wolfgang Puck. He’s getting his food from Sysco. $11.00 isn’t even remotely worth the garbage he would be serving. It’s a stupid idea just admit it.

Everyone in this thread thinking they can beat the system by shitting is retarded. Just have a compulsory urine/fecal weigh-in station in the bathroom, which is then considered in the final weight tally

Now all I can think about is biometric scanners on all of the plates, utensils, floor tiles, and seats. With armed guards at the exits and casino level security cameras.

Unless you're advocating a weigh-in like boxers do before a fight where they strip down it isn't going to work.
