All doesn't really mean all sometimes

     A duo in England found out that just because the resturant says that it is all you can eat, it may not really be ALL you can eat. Friends George Dalmon and Andy Miles were recently barred from Gobi,one of their local all you can eat resturants in the city of Brighton in the U.K., for eating too much. At least that is the reason the owner of the resurant gave the two men.

     According to Dalmon, the owner of the restrant came up to their table and told them that they were, "disgusting, and we're eating him out of business, so we're nothing but filthy pigs. So, I was quite shocked about this and I asked him if he was joking and he replied 'no, I'm definitely not, I've had it with you two, that's it'."

     Co-owner Peter Westgate didn't appear to be the least bit appologetic when he said of the two friends, "Like when the shark shuts its eyes before it feeds, they're like that. They just get to the buffet and whatever happens they just pile it in. They muck the buffet up for everyone, they push and shuffle people from the barbecue area and it's pretty sad really, because you can eat all you like over five-and-a-half hours - it's not an issue, you don't need to rush."

     A simular incident happened earlier this year in the U.S. when Bill Wisth was eating at the all you can eat fish fry at Chuck’s Place in Theinsville, Wisconsin. Having eaten 12 pieces of fried fish, Bill was told that he was "cut off". The resturant said that supplies were starting to run low, but they were willing to send him home with eight more pieces. Tempers flared and things escalated to the point that police had to be called to remove Wisth from the resturant.

     According to the resturant, this isn't the first time that Wisth had problems with them. In previous visits to the resturant, they claimed that Wisth had been unable to pay his bill and the resturant allowed him to have his food for free.

      Several days later, Wisth returned and picketed the resturant to protest his treatment there. He was given a warning for disorderly conduct because of his protest. However, Wisth said that he planned to keep protesting every Sunday, "until the restaurant rethinks what happened."
