I worked with two rather large gentlemen, both way over 6 feet tall and each weighing way over 250 pounds. A new Chinese restaurant opened near our office offering an all-you can-eat lunch buffet. My two co-workers decided to try it. After they had almost eaten their fill, the hostess arrived at their table and announced in a voice everyone in the restaurant could hear, "You bigga boys. You eat too much. You go now!" When they told us about this, the entire office staff cracked up and of course, we avoided that place from that day on. They closed soon after due to their lack of customer service.

Whenever my family goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet, we always recite the mantra, "You bigga boys. You eat too much. You go now!" We always laugh before the meal and no one around us knows why!
That kind of customer service must be popular in Chinese Restaurants. Something similar happened to my brother (i believe) years ago.

I'm not exactly sure how the story went but it culminated in the restaurant owner yelling at my brother "you been here 4 owahs (hours)"

My mom still cracks up at it, and she constantly jokes around when we are together as a family spending a lot of time in a restaurant! lol

Funny, honeychile said it happened to her friend too.

I didn't realize John Pinette knew so many GCers!

Correction which I should have made before: I was told that it happened to my two friends, but they were taking advantage of my naivety. If you saw these two men, you would have believed it happened, too. I only found out that it had happened after the abuse heaped on me at the last post - with apologies from those who did it.

Now I just remind them that "All You Can Eat" is an option, not a dare.
