Buffet-style does not mean Buffet, thery are two different things.

Is somewhat interesting.

The problem is two fold: (1) You don't know what a buffet is - and - (2) Again (holy cow I have to repeat myself??) you are trying to make it appear as if there is some sort of intrinsic difference between saying "Buffet" and "Buffet style." Nobody is going to recognize any sort of difference between those. The fact that this is an argument is silly as hell.

hate to tell you this, but you are entitled to what's on the menu, nothing more nothing less. If you want it your way, I suggest you eat at Burger King.

:laugh:

LOl @ entitlement. And yeah, I am not going to make it in this world. I just got done working for the past 2 years to save up enough money for college so I won't ever have to work more than part-time again if I don't want to. I have A's in all my classes and I will be a pharmacist or PA one day. I know nothing about the real world...yeah...sure.

All I am saying is I eat out about once every 2 months. So for all you people who say the customer is not in charge, then explain why they won't ever get any of my money? Unlike alot of people here, I actually can control myself and eat at HOME everyday if I want to. That $6 is a mistake I will not repeat ever again.

And yea, they can refuse service, and I can tell them to go F themselves too, and then make them waste the food that they already have put on the plate. WHO WINS THEN??? I'm the type who is glad to do it too... Not to mention the last time I didn't like the attitude of the Chick-Fil-A worker, I placed a larger order and then just drove off. LOL at the business winning.
They're really going to miss the $36 annual revenue that you can provide.

Man, douche-baggery abound here.

Question: you are having fun with your online persona. Talking about your 10 cent retribution while being belittled by strangers is fun for you?

I read your other thread and can see why your girlfriend left you. Did you use to talk about how you are such a hardass? Did you use to brag to her when you would claim military, ya know, just for the discount?

You, sir, are an idiot.

Sorry, idiot style.

Obviously you have never worked in the food industry. People are such jerks to you! Haven't you ever seen the movie waiting? Just take the damn bread or suffer the consequences.

But in the future, even if you don't want something it comes with, just ask for it on the side and then let it sit there. THey won't give you a discount if you don't take it so no sense saving them more money...
What a waste of food. I'd rather just let the business keep the food rather than purposefully waste it just to get back at them...

Feed the birds with the bread...sheesh!

Alot of places like that which are low cost will not sub. foods.

Someday you are going to grow up and look back on this and ask yourself why you didn't keep your stupidity a little more quiet instead of screaming it out to the whole world, and you will hang your head in shame.
