They throw as little away as possible and enact rules to prevent food waste. Wasteful idiots used to be few and far between, but now they're like half the country.

One time they tried to charge me a fee for making a plate of sweet and sour chicken, but I took one bite and it was cold and greasy. I refused to pay it and ended up in a shouting match with the chink until he relented.

What do they do with it all? I know their entire extended family works in the kitchen, but if its a huge buffet there's no way they are going to eat it all? Do they just put it in the fridge and serve it the next day?

>>19351014
They keep track of sales and prep accordingly. Much is reheated or incorporated into a fresh batch the following day, or turned into something else. Much less waste than you think. Also the reason why you should only eat buffets during peak hours.

I already paid for it dum dum. They aren't losing that much if I take home food I already put on my plate they are just going to toss out. If they really wanted to minimize food waste and maximize profit they would just charge per plate or by weight.
