Buffet Rage
 
Are you guilty of this crime against fellow diners?

Recently, I was at a fairly upscale dining establishment where a light appetizer buffet was part of the dinner experience. I noted a definite pattern in behavior every time the fresh load of shrimp was brought to the buffet. Otherwise collected and courteous individuals launched into a mad frenzy to grab the fresh shrimp, bolting through the dining room, disheveling chairs, rushing past the elderly, and essentially shoving young diners out of their ways. Now, I'm not talking about one or two people, I am talking about 25-30 in every wave of the free-for-all. It was astonishing.

As a fellow diner, I felt it was my obligation to ram a few of them with my scooter. I got my shrimp.

Good for you! Management should have been more aggressive in escorting the Invading Vandals/Goths/Huns off the premises... maybe with some discarded shrimp tails scattered after them... :wink:

ROFL!!

Why do I have this mental picture of you at high speed running over people with leetle plates in their hands?:p

I am one of the people who waits a minute or two and then menaces the grabbers with my particular asset...( being 6'2)

There's nothing quite like a scary woman towering over you glowering when you KNOW you are in the wrong! :cool:

If you line the basket on the front of your scooter, you could just upend the whole shrimp tray for yourself.

Hmmm. I like to think that I wait patiently when the crablegs come out, but that probably doesn't happen until after the 3rd trip.....Before that, stay out of my way. Tongs can be a deadly instrument.

AfterMyNap 06-04-2007 06:42 PM

I grew up in Mi.,those foalks don't have to have a scooter they will
just knock you on your but for free shirmp. You should see them before
chistmas or is that before New Year's uh oh no wonder i have PN.

Now that i live in Mo. i have a power chair that goes 10 miles a hr.
I know just how to fly through a crowd for any kind of food,and been
known to go over speed bumbs in the summer. Nothing like eating
in a cool brezze. :) :) Don't grin to hard you could get bugs in your teeth.

Anyone that dares to come between me and all you can eat shellfish is gonna get a cane stuck in the gut and a glob of Watergate Salad down the back of their pants! I do the same thing to soccer moms with their dang strollers in the mall during the lovely Christmas Season. ;) :D
