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.

*making mental note......do not take Cindy to a seafood buffet in Missouri lol....unless we BOTH have scooters*

LOL, Cindy would not even go to a seafood buffet in MO! Maybe a opossum BBQ, but not seafood!! LOL!!

Oh yeah and when in MI do as the MI folks doo....load me up that extra scooter.......

Plan on it, Sweet Tea! We'll have a blast, I'm sure. 'Course, we always do, even driving around talking about what we'd do if we felt like it! LOL, you're a hoooot!

Cept this time of year we will drive around with ac blasting.....trying to yell over the radio cigs rolling smoke through the air....and us sayin.....dang if it wasnt so HOT we could....or would.....but maybe not since its so darn hot lol.......

Don't go with me anywhere! I am always at the end of the line!
