As living standards continue to improve, so does people's thirst for food. A variety of dining options have sprung up, among which buffets are popular with the public. Recently, a man named Xiao Zhang has become an out-and-out "big stomach".
Xiao Zhang is a senior foodie with a unique taste and pursuit of food. He is particularly fond of the cafeteria, where he can enjoy a variety of dishes without worrying about fullness.
By chance, Xiao Zhang found a newly opened seafood barbecue restaurant, which was described as luxurious, elegant, fresh and dazzling with fresh ingredients. What's more, there have been rave reviews online, with former diners raving about the service and taste.
Suspicious, Zhang decided to go there himself to see if the cafeteria was really as good as it was said on the Internet. As soon as he entered, Xiao Zhang was attracted by the luxurious decoration and macaron-colored decoration of the restaurant.
After a little scrutiny, he took a full 3 catties of pig's trotters from the basin in one go! The waiters were dumbfounded. However, since it was a buffet, they didn't say much. Xiao Zhang did not leave anyone a chance to breathe, and tasted shrimp, fish, beef, pork, seasonal vegetables and other delicacies in the restaurant one after another, and ate very heroically. In the end, he even drank more than 30 bottles of soy milk on his own, much to the consternation of the waiters.
After enjoying it, Xiao Zhang felt that it was worth the money. While the dishes are fresh and varied, the restaurant's service attitude is also very satisfying. So, he soon visited the store several more times, 4 times in a row.
However, when Zhang visited for the fourth time, the restaurant owner made an unexpected decision......
"Don't come next time!" the boss said coldly to Xiao Zhang. This abrupt decision made Xiao Zhang stand on the spot, puzzled. Why would you suddenly be turned away when you have already purchased consumption vouchers and you haven't wasted food?
Just as he was struggling, the boss explained: "You have eaten too much, and we can't afford to lose it." Xiao Zhang suddenly said confidently: "Isn't this a cafeteria? Don't you claim to 'enjoy it to your heart' on the Internet?" The boss was also a little helpless: "It's true that you can enjoy it to your heart's content, but you have eaten too much, and eating 3 catties of pig's trotters at once, even we can't bear it!"
After a heated argument, Xiao Zhang finally angrily approached the local media and exposed the restaurant's refusal to serve. Media reporters quickly arrived at the scene and conducted interviews with both sides.
The reporter asked: "Who do you think should be held responsible for this matter?" The boss said: "We naturally want to make a profit when we open a cafeteria, so how can we make people suffer a loss? Xiao Zhang has eaten too much, and it has seriously exceeded the scope of ordinary people's food. The boss took out the ledger data again, "The second time he ate 7 or 8 catties of shrimp, the cost of these shrimp reached more than 1,000 yuan." ”
"We decided not to receive him again after careful consideration, not against anyone, but out of necessity. We can't afford to be in such extreme cases. The boss said helplessly.
Subsequently, Xiao Zhang also made a statement. He believes that as a consumer, since he has paid the corresponding fees, he should enjoy the same self-help rights and respect as other customers. "Don't consumers have the right to choose their favorite food?" said Xiao Zhang, "Isn't the buffet just about letting everyone choose their favorite food freely?
After some intense discussion and controversy, the matter finally came to a conclusion. The two parties eventually reached a settlement, and the restaurant apologized to Xiao Zhang. However, this incident has also caused people to ponder: should we also control our food consumption moderation while enjoying the fun of buffet?
After all, buffets are not places for unrestrained consumption. At the same time, this is also a wake-up call for other cafeteria operators: for excessive consumption, a reasonable consumption ceiling and management mechanism should be formulated.
For consumers, they also need to be clear about their rights and obligations, and do not act excessively because of greed for a momentary appetite.
In short, although this incident seems to be a farce, it also reflects some deep-seated social problems. Let's enjoy food while also learning to cherish food, respect others, and follow the rules. So, what do you think about this matter? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
