I don't generally mind these. There's a Chinese we go to every now and again which is all you can eat and generally ok. But today I went to a different one for a family birthday and it was totally different.
For a start, it was about six different types of food (none done nicely) with hyper children running round everywhere and tables full of adults saying practically nothing to each other but just shovelling mouth full of food after mouth full of food into their mouths.
I guess it just shocked me. I love food, I love eating out but this was meaningless overeating just because the food was there. Not just adults, but older children too (I'd say aged eight upwards) Massive piles of food on their plates, most of it left because there was no incentive to eat it. Leave it, someone else will take your plate and you can go up and get more even if you're full. So so wasteful and just, to me, the wrong way to approach food.
AIBU? What's everyone else's thoughts on these places?
