Do you overeat at buffets?
I have read that a lot of people do and I have witnessed it happen. Some
people say they just have to have the dessert if it is there. I don't get that at all. I love buffets because I can get what I want/need and only what I want/need. I guess I should say I love *some* buffets. Because I certainly have seen some where I could not eat. I know I don't need dessert so I don't even bother to look at it. |

Too many people, especially young children, grabbing and touching the food makes it unappetizing to me in my older years. Sort of the same thing as those bulk bins in stores. Yecch! That being said, I really can't say I've ever noticed anybody elses plate in a restaurant unless they were at my table. Cheri |

That being said, we won't eat anything that looks messed up. I buy certain things from bulk bins. Mainly the bins that are up high with the chute, or wrapped things. |

the last straw for me at a buffet was when the guy ahead of me sneezed all
over everything..pulled out a handkerchief and blew his nose and put it in his pocket and proceeded to finger everything possible...my wife and I left the line and have not been back to any buffet since. it is bad enough at the store when the old lady (there's always one) poke holes in the fruit and fresh baked goods..handles every tomato and squishes all things squish able.. what's up with that anyhoo?..lol I have seen it hundreds of times so its clearly a thing..I mean its not a quality test as they ruin a ton of stuff then either take a untouched one and move on or ruin items then move on taking nothing. but yes I have seen some gross behavior in buffets and bulk food bins I used to buy raw almonds at my store until they stopped bagging them and went to bulk bins.. same with spices..they bought good fresh spices and bagged them themselves for resale but got lazy and went to bulk bins sigh..

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I am a germaphobe anyway so tried to believe in the sneeze guard etc because I like well liked eating out and trying different foods. now its just too many stories of people getting sick..not just at buffets but at all sorts of restaurants and often its due to what happened in the fields and processing plants BEFORE it even got to the restaurant. things like lettuce and peaches etc were killing people.. I know how well I wash and prep my food at home so its less of a risk then at a restaurant who probably opens the bags and dumps them into a bin for service. KROM "Evelyn" wrote ...

my wife pointed out to me that EVERYONE touches that ladle/spoon/tong handle
so even if they dont touch the food your still getting contact with everyone before you. KROM "Evelyn" wrote ... I go with my husband to one of his favorite places to eat, a chinese buffet.

its more of the fact people dont wash their hands after the bathroom more
then just germs. think about this..everyone going into a buffet uses the door handle then the money to pay if its pay ahead like many are then they touch the chair or the tables etc to get their seats then they get right to the buffet and start touching everything. nobody goes to the place goes to the bathroom to wash their hands and then goes to the line..

I worked at kfc..never ate there again..I worked at dominos..never ate them
again..same goes for papa johns and little ceasers I still ate pizza hut because it really was a hands off affair once it was cooked and their stuff was decent..at least then one I sometime ate at. I stopped eating McDonalds and burger king due to poor food handling I saw or experienced. at burger king I saw a kid at the fries chewing tobacco and spitting into a trash can at his feet..he drops the fry scoop into the same bin and takes it out and commences to scoop fries..I almost threw up and had a fit..a very loud fit and once hearing about many people also looked ill and left..the manager acted like I was crazy to complain and was right next to the kid. at McDonalds my wife ordered a salad and it had a cigarette butt and a empty coffee creamer cup thingy in it..either the employee did it to be a jerk or somebody returned a salad and they "restocked" it. but since DX I almost never eat out so its not a issue.

I have heard horror stories about the Subway by Angela's dance studio. You couldn't pay me to eat there. So many people have complained about it. We recently got sandwiches for my parents at the Subway by their house. I didn't really see anything wrong. They didn't change their gloves that I could see. But the sandwiches were just as measly as I remembered them only with a lot less lettuce. Way back when I used to get them, they would pull the insides out of the bread and stuff a lot of lettuce in there. But there was very little meat or cheese on the sandwich. These days they don't pull the insides out. But still very little meat or cheese. As for the salads, the one time Angela and I got them, they were inedible. Just a bowl of shredded iceberg lettuce with some sandwich toppings on it. No meat or cheese. I have not eaten at any of the Pho places although they are all over the place here. My husband loves the stuff but it just doesn't look appealing to me at all and they use a lot of cuts of meat I would never eat. > > I am about to send in complaints to Coles and Woolworths (our two major > supermarket chains) about their new-fangled deli practices.

That's not good! We very rarely buy from the deli. Recently we met a new employee at Albertsons. Angela wanted to know what the difference was between two different potato salads. She didn't know for sure so she gave her a sample of each. Tiny bowls and tiny spoons. We bought some potato salad from her and the next week we bought a few JoJos. But normally we don't eat that stuff. |

They separated into two branches. Originally Woolies was a dept store style shop, but on a much smaller scale. Then it became a supermarket and they started the Big W chain of dept stores which are way cheaper than KMart in my opinion, better stuff too. They have now branched out into mega hardware stores as well. As to Subway, I rarely buy the sub, I have bought salads in a bowl from them for years. Mainly because they have so many different items and meats you can put into it for the same price. And so many sauces to choose from ;) |

Sounds like a plan :) I think I avoided one recently by buying in some probiotics. I never miss catching a tummy bug in this family and this time I did. Strangely, Jazz hasn't caught anything in the last two years. Not since she had the swine flu injection. She normally gets everything under the sun especially colds which often go to her chest. I actually have a dilemma now because no doctor here knows here and she has to have all kinds of medical reports done before she turns 16 next month. That's when she leaves my family payments and gets Disability Support Pension (not a full one until she is 21 and no difference in amounts of money coming into the household but its something I have to do). Here's a few videos of my baby girl at her recent Harmony Day at school: http://youtu.be/vfemQEabycU http://youtu.be/pFhvbLabbOQ http://youtu.be/Bm0844pIxlE http://youtu.be/yHdzZdLIHmg http://youtu.be/Uv_k9R753fg |

I have only had a Subway sandwich a few times but it didn't even come close to filling me up. I don't like making sandwiches. But when I make one, I put a LOT of filling in it. Half of one of my sandwiches is quite filling to me. Angela got a pastrami sandwich from Safeway the other day. She measured it. Was over 6" long, had plenty of meat and cheese in it and was only $2.48. Yes, I know it would have been cheaper still if we had made it at home but we don't buy a lot of bread and unless her dad is home, there is no way we could eat a pack of sub buns. > > seeing Woolworths cracks me up..they disappeared from the states in the > 80's replaced by Walgreens and if I recall...he created Wal-Mart..I > think..not sure and too lazy to Google..lol > > it always reminds me of the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" where the > lead was banned from the Woolworths..lol Walmart is not related to Woolworths. They were a dime store here and they were still in MA in the mid/late '90s. The one in Falmouth went out of business a few years before Angela was born. I bought tons of stuff there for cheap. Then when I was pregnant with her we stopped at one in some other city on the way to Boston. Can't remember where. They were going out of business as well and I got some cheap yarn there. Made a baby blanket for her in with a peach and green ombre yarn. It matched her green stroller. The one here in Seattle went out of business probably in the early/mid 80's. I got a lot of stuff there too. I loved Woolworths! They were a great place to go for a cheap lunch or banana split. Not that I ate banana splits because I didn't like them. But they did do the balloon thing. You'd pop a balloon and inside it would tell you how much your banana split would cost. It was always discounted from what was listed on the menu and in some cases it was free. For a time they had a candy counter but eventually that went the way of the wind. I think they may have also had popcorn. One thing I really liked about them was that when I was feeling really broke, I could scrape together the coins from my piggy bank and I could go there and still be able to buy something. Also Woolworths saved the day when we went to the Philadelphia zoo. My FIL thought we were nuts because it was supposed to rain that day. I just laughed and told him I was from Washington. I was used to rain. Well the rain that we get here for the most part is not at all like the rain that they have there! We walked into a torrential downpour that lasted all day. We bought some cheap little umbrellas at an Asian store and some kiddy ponchos at the zoo. But we were still drenched. After we left the zoo, my husband drove around in Philly until I spotted the Woolworths. I told him to park the car. We were both drenched to the bone. In there I was able to get some dry socks, a T shirt and a pair of sweat pants. I got dry clothes for him too but they didn't have any men's shoes he could wear. He has wide feet. I got some cheap canvas shoes for myself. Pretty much the only shoes they had. They were fine when I was just sitting in the car. But to walk on? OMG! They'd put someone lame in no time flat. I can't imagine what was wrong with them to have caused so much foot pain but they sure did. I tried to throw them out but my MIL pulled them from the trash. She and I wore the same size at the time. I told her they were bad and she didn't want them but she said she would give them to the poor. I said I didn't want to wish them on the poor and I promised her I would buy and donate a good pair of shoes to the poor when I got home. Which I did. I do remember that trip very well. Wished after we left there that I had bought some sort of long sleeved something or other although I think during the summer they may not have had anything. After getting drenched to the bone I was freezing all day! |

Angela sometimes orders a chef salad and then decides that she doesn't really like it. She likes the ones they sell at the grocery store because they are somewhat small and have just a few bites of each kind of topping. But at a restaurant they are so huge she can't even make a dent in them. |

For a good fast sandwich we go to Blimpie. They make an awesome tuna sandwich well filled with good quality tuna. Of course every shop is slightly different and some may not make it as well. You get to choose your own bread and every topping you like. They make the sandwich to order just as you tell them to. I usually discard most of the bread, but Hubby eats his. Evelyn |
