Probably almost 20 years ago I used to go to a Chinese buffet with my friend and they had a sign posted saying “it’s all you can eat, not all you can waste!” I still laugh about it to this day.
My mom was notorious about this. She would get 5-7 plates and just eat a few bites from each. I always felt mortified as a child leaving all that food to go to waste, but her “I got my money’s worth” boomer mentality reigned supreme. She was eventually kicked out of and banned at a local Chinese buffet restaurant and all of her close friends tried to defend her. I gave up. I cheered the win for that restaurant.

I don't blame them. My ex would fill her plate several times, and just waste half of each. Damn, someone had to work to put that there.
