Fuck those people. Poor little feller.

Pic related is from my most recent visit to Golden Corral. The steak guy actually knew what he was doing and the vegetables were good. It was a new location that just opened so I think they were trying a little harder. Plus the staff was all hispanics, which is usually a great sign as they tend to give somewhat of a fuck compared to black or white employees at these types of establishments. It really hit the spot after a 4 day drugs and alcohol binge during spring break.

>What does /ck/ think about this? Also, Golden Corral General.
I think the story is misconstrued from fact. The mother had a 1 and 2 year old, and this baby, and was married to someone creepy twice her age....she is low IQ, I assure you...and didn't practice safe sex and only breastfed (ie poor as shit). This baby, if it had gone for checkups to the doctor after birth, and wasn't gaining weight on breastfeeding, would have been supplemented with formula or checked for issues sucking. It's called failure to thrive, and can have a host of developmental reasons to be like that. It's not necessarily "STARVATION" though that makes a good headline. The other reason I know the mother has low IQ is that you don't leave a highly valuable baby out in a car for it to get stolen. And, in Florida, the sun is too intense to leave a dog 5 minutes in a car, in the shade. Dumb. But, criminally negligent and maliciously trying to kill a baby? I doubt that.

>> No.6103886

>>6103870
If you read the story carefully they don't seem to have left the baby in the car, they were "on their way", which implies driving.

I agree though that "starvation" seem unlikely and a medical condition coupled with an inability to recognise it was more likely the issue.

"Starvation" isn't right though; even the coroner said the baby was fed at least 6 hours before it died.

Their "crime" appears to be that they didn't recognise a medical condition. If America had some real medical care perhaps they'd have taken the poor kid to a doctors and got some help, or had a health worker visit and notice the problem first.

Still, gotta keep the damn gubermint out of yer lives so you can starve yer kids to death if yer want, amirite?

Oh god, I used to wash dishes at Golden Corral. Worst job of my life, easily. Images like pic related have apparently made the rounds on the internet and are considered shocking, but this is what the dish room looked like almost every night during dinner rush. The location I worked at underwent a few changes in management when I was there and the quality of work and food spiraled from standard shit to post-apocalyptic mutant shit before I left. At the end of every shift I absolutely felt sub-human, it was awful.

>>6103708
The only thing about this that isn't 100% correct is that the waitresses don't make any money. They do pretty good, maybe the best of any non-management staff, because even though people may tip like shit there (or often not at all), the fact that it's a buffet cuts down on the servers' workload and so they can take care of a much higher number of tables at once. Like every position in the restaurant though, it's still miserable work.

Although is seems like it's purely wasteful behavior, the real problem is that food in a cafeteria can look delicious, but tastes bland as crap, isn't cooked properly, or ended up being deceptive somehow. That sandwich that ended up have gristly low quality water packed ham, for instance, or the fries that were so dry and mealy inside that you drank your entire iced tea choking the first one down. Or the salad that you so much really wanted, but there wasn't any good dressing, just some oily rancid stuff that made you think, ugh, or that slice of cake that looked alright, but then you got that film of shortening that coated the roof of your mouth, and thought, oh man, that can't be good for you, or that soft serve that looked so good, but then you realized it was some kind of funky fake vanilla flavor that couldn't eat beyond two bites.

And, if this kind of shit happens often, you will routinely fill up your tray with choices, hoping one of them will work out and you won't leave hungry. I guarantee you that when people encounter truly delicious food, all-you-can-eat or not, plates are finished.

Thirded. There was tons of waste and sometimes immense volume, but getting backed up like the pic in >>6103941 was very rare. Granted, we had equipment designed for that kind of throughput and adequate staffing most of the time.

I can't tell what's in the pic, but it doesn't look like the right equipment for that job. Trying to get through that with a typical restaurant dishwashing setup (or even 2-3 of them) sounds hellish.

While I've not tried Golden Corral and won't try to dispute that it's horrible, that sort of industrial-buffet kind of operation can produce surprisingly decent food when managed right. Not on par with fine dining, of course, but decent.
