Honestly, I don’t believe its fair to say “all you can eat” unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.

But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

    All you can eat for one meal, they can’t have you sitting there for 8 hours when you’re only going to be eating at most 2 of those 8. You’re taking up space that could be used by other guests if you’re just setting up camp in the restaurant

      Most buffet restaurants get around this by closing for one hour between lunch and dinner, and/or a maximum time limit.

        One of the restaurants at my work does an all you can eat crab during some parts of the year. Really it’s all you can eat for 90 minutes, they even put a timer on your table lol

          Whoa, too bad you don’t get a reward for finishing early like “Company Can Cozies if you finish 2 Platters of crab in 15 mimutes.” . I’d bet even for that the office would make it a competition.
