Charging For Waste
I admit, my mom drilled into me that I should clean my plate because… ‘there are a lot of starving people in China’. So to this day, I don’t waste food.
When I go to a buffet, which as I get older is a rarer event; I do like the fact that I can try things that maybe I wouldn’t want to try as a single order. I try to sample a small amount, and if I don’t like it then it is nice to know that I can just let it go and get something else. After all a buffet is one price for everything or is it?
Read this article about a restaurant that is charging people 3% if they waste food at their buffet! At first glance I thought wow how outrageous, but upon furhter review and during this economy, maybe I can’t blame the restaurant owner trying to save money by not having to throw out and waste food. Granted I don’t know if any scrap of food activitates the charge or does the plate have to be more than half full. I guess the food police can figure that one out. I have seen that kind of waste in restaurants before so I can know understand the idea. As you see from the article though, $26 for a buffet is a little steep for me. I think I will just stick to the pizza buffet line.
