"Wall Street was on fire, and Buffett was running toward the flames. But he was doing so with the expectation that the fire department (that is, the federal government) was right behind him with buckets of bailout money. As he admitted on CNBC at the time, “If I didn’t think the government was going to act, I wouldn’t be doing anything this week.”

Buffett needed the bailout. In addition to Goldman Sachs, which was not as badly leveraged as some of its competitors, Buffett was heavily invested in several other banks, such as Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp, that were also at risk and in need of federal cash"

Expected rules on food place etiquette. I am disappoint LOL.

lets put this in there anyway, Once food is on your plate DO NOT RETURN FOOD.

what if you got something you didn't like, is it better to throw it away or just put in back? I hate wasting food

[ohthejosh]

How about a revised rule, if you are re-using a previous plate that rule shall apply.

I've never heard of anyone returning food at a buffet ever. it never crossed my mind. but i see your point about wasting it, thats why if you want to try something you've never had don't take a heaping plate of it at first, take the smallest amount possible and go from there.

It happens a lot at sushi buffets.

Yes, it does happen. Would you rather have it happen right in front of you or in the kitchen?

I make an effort to at least eat enough to make it not look like I'm throwing away a full portion. Or if it's really shitty, sometimes redistribute the shit food to other people's scrap plates on the table. I just don't like seeing a full serving of something on my plate that will get thrown away. I never return food to the buffet though.

I love seafood and recently tried out the "Boston Lobster Feast" buffet in Orlando. The quality of the lobster and crab legs left much to be desired. I do not recommend.

If the sneeze shields are in place, do I have to cover my mouth when I sneeze? It's just so hard when I have my hands full.

[ohthejosh]

I derailed this thread didnt I lol.

But as far as kitchen or in front of me, I just dont like seeing somebody in line put something on their plate then decide they dont want it and put it back with the rest of em. Although touched by the tongs its kinda wrong, I see it as bad buffet etiquette.

Nahh, they have people for that. Remember, you're a job creator. For extra points make sure someone is right behind you. Tell em the doctors don't know what you have. They might name the disease after you.

Just go to the buffet with a facemask like you have SARs or something.

Just go to the buffet with a facemask like you have SARs or something.

There was a lady that came into Kroger every day with one of those masks on. We called her the swine flu lady.

When we saw her, we went to the back and hung out till she left, just like we did when the inbreds came down from the mountains once a month when they got food stamps.

Not kidding, can't make this shit up.
