All-you-can-eat buffet fantasy
– In all my years as a restaurant manager, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like that.
– Simon really went to town.
– I thought we could trick him with that salad bar. But he walked right past it, like it wasn’t even there.
– He went straight for the crab. Our most expensive item.
– We thought we could fool him. But now it seems that we’re the fools.
– I figured if we charged eleven ninety-five, we’d be sure to make a profit. But I never expected anyone to eat to the point of sickness.
– He really got his money’s worth.
– And then some. If I had to take a guess, I would say that Simon consumed at least fourteen dollars’ worth of food today.
– It’s clear he didn’t want to eat that last piece of Salisbury steak. But he ate it anyway.
– It was a smart move. That piece of steak is what put him over the top, and made the meal profitable for him.
– He really proved something here today.
– Luckily for us, the girl he was with only ate a normal-sized amount of food.
– Yeah, she stopped after just one plate. After that, she pretty much just watched Simon.
– She seemed impressed by the amount of food he was consuming.
– Definitely. Did you see the expression on her face when he went up for rice pudding at the end? She couldn’t believe it.
– Neither could I. I wanted to stop him, but legally, I couldn’t.
– Simon really cracked our system.
– Thank God there’s only one like him.
