Pizza Hut Buffet

856 replies

IAKnowyou · 14/10/2024 17:46

Posting here to hopefully get some quick answers.

So I will be going to Pizza Hut for the buffet, at the weekend with my child for one of her friend's parties.
There's a few of us going, and I've had a look online and at weekends it is 15.99 per adult and 10.99 for children !
I am absolutely not going to eat 15.99 worth of pizza! And I doubt my child will eat £11 worth.
Would I be unreasonable to just pay for my child and maybe have a slice of pizza or 2?
I know they charge different per head to stop this. But how do they police this ??
It's not a huge deal, but I would definitely like to know before I go, and like to know if other people do this or not ?
Thanks !

Omg OP I’m so sorry for people on here - some of the responses have been insane. Calling you all sorts of names for wanting 2 slices of pizza 🤣🤣 people need to lighten up a bit, blimey.

Someone's not read the thread then....

Or doesn't understand that restaurants need to be paid for two meals if two people eat.

And around the same number (there could be one or five sock puppets, but let's be trusting people) are all muttering 'awkward' at each other and bickering pointlessly. What is the OP 'doing'? Posting on her own thread? It's hardly sinister behaviour that needs calling out. You've said awkward about 15 times now, and I still cannot even see what's so 'awkward.'

I've lost track of why you sound so angry about the whole thing.

"Everyone else" indeed 😂

My (awkward) is in response to OP using it further up thread, if you care to look.
I've also summarised the thread content a few comments back, but you might have to read the whole thing to understand it.
Nobody is angry.

Thanks for the support for the couple of you that have just jumped on. Please chat amongst yourselves whilst I watch big brother .. will be back shortly 😆

A very brave and controversial viewpoint..... God speed to you 😬

Pizza hut is absolutely rank so I would begrudge paying that amount for it too. But I think that if you eat it at all you will likely have to pay. Though as a worker on minimum wage for a massive corporation I would not be policing if a mim eats a slice or two. I definitely do not think you deserve to be flogged for asking the question.

I do have a level of understanding, thanks. And I know how restaurants work. But I’ve seen more insulting posts on this thread than I have on others where the OP admits to far, far worse than HYPOTHETICALLY eating 2 slices of pizza.

Thick as thieves eh OP?
Tschüss.

@zeitweilig I didn't start the awkward thing by the way. Somebody called me awkward, and I was carrying it on

The op asked the question, everyone said yabu, op realised OK and decided to make humour from her proposed cheekiness.

Nobody has been flogged.
(Do you know what flogged means?)

I respectfully disagree. It's literally all I've been able to think about for the past hour or so thanks to this thread 😭

You can get a free kids buffet with a £10 spend in October when you order from your mobile and enter the code SPOOKY before 3pm each day.

Tbf to OP, this is true. The awkward comment came from elsewhere.

Why did you deny that earlier then?
(Awkward) eh? 🤢

No, scanning 2 birthday/Christmas etc cards through as one as one is too light to register on the self scan

What's the justification for stealing birthday/Christmas cards?

OP has a choice.

If she doesn't like the prices she doesn't have to go.
If she does goes and wants two people to eat then should pay for two people.

honeybeetheoneandonly · 14/10/2024 21:07

OP, I also wouldn't pay for two buffets. Buy one pizza that costs less than either buffet price and you can both stuff your faces legally on less money. Nobody could object to that. Possibly less money for pizza hut but totally legal!

OP certainly directed an (awkward) toward me, hence me pointing out every awkward comment you went on to make.
OP also called me a fun sponge for not finding a comment mentioning the gestapo remotely funny (did you read up on who they were/what they did?).

That's ridiculous. Enough to put you off going.

I know! My sister who we were with & I still bring it up 20 years later!

OP is funny. She sounds - in contrast to the handful of posters intent on keeping an imaginary argument going - fairly normal, took her YABU on the chin and cracked on in good humour.

This is one batshit thread.

Humour is subjective so just because you weren't amused doesn't mean it was/wasn't.
