Pizza Hut Buffet

856 replies

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 !

Yup

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.

To save face she turned the thread into banter.

Agreed

You're being SO weird about this! It's not 'saving face' - it's just being normal and moving on and having a laugh about it!!

And 🤷‍♀️

It's OK to laugh about it than turn it into a serious/arguing thread!

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

I mean she attempted to make it humour to stop people (rightfully) pointing out that she cannot just steal food. It's partly worked.

Pizza hut is absolutely rank

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

Me too.

Has to be the buffet now.

I know what I’m doing with DS this weekend now.

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!

Sharing pizzas was discussed further upthread and (for some batshit reason) this is also frowned upon and you will be considered homeless and told to go home. So don't. The end.

Nah, read her words.
It's saving face.
She still thinks stealing is ok.
She just wants to divert attention to how funny she is.
It's fairly obvious if you read right through.

Don't be ridiculous! You are fixated on the OP somehow manipulating the thread with humour - she's just having a laugh, now the matter of her imminent theft is cleared up.

This is weirdly grudge-like.

We know she cannot steal food, she now knows she can't do what was asked in her op, people have suggested alternatives (buying a pizza from the main menu etc) she's taken it in good nature. Now there's some humour to lighten the thread.

Umm yeah. Of course it would be unreasonable. That's not how restaurant buffets work. You pay per head.

If you don't want the buffet, just order a pizza to share.

Has OP now changed her view on stealing (the pizza or the cards) or is she trying to divert with humour and insults?
Read the comments and decide.

Where has OP said she's taken on board any comment regarding the pizza situation though? She asked, justified her view, then went to insult and banter. She also happily refers to stealing cards.

Why do you think everyone on the thread is somehow lacking your unbelievable intelligence and are being herded by the OP's insanely manipulative banter?

You are WAY too invested at this point!

So, what are your plans for the buffet?
Do you plan to steal more cards?

I give up.

Maybe 😂

Pizza hut are doing kids eat free when you spend £10 at the moment

Have definitely decided you're totally barmy. Way too much investment in this.

IAKnowyou · 14/10/2024 21:19

@Aito thank you ! I like to think I'm fairly normal. Not a filthy thieving scrounge as suggested on here! I do like to make a joke out of things. Anything really. So I think I have come across wrong to some !

It's obvious what OP is doing.
Can you find her changed stance on stealing (pizza or cards) anywhere?
