Buffet restaurants charging by peoples weight?

[mickey house]

What do you guys think about buffet restaurants charging people based on their weight, on the basis that the heavier you are the more likely you are to eat more of the buffet food?

Skinny people should be free because they don’t eat, I have seen some sights in Florida but we don’t know their stories. They might be very unhappy and food gives them comfort, I’m overweight so who am I to judge!

When we lived in Boston we used to live close to Wholefoods. They did some fab buffet meals to take out or eat in. You went to the normal supermarket cashier and they weighed you plate of food to price it

When I buy XXXL sized clothes they charge me more than people who buy smaller size clothes.

I am not criticising or judging people like me who are heavy because there are many reasons why people are heavy, but if I owned a buffet restaurant I would likely make less profit from heavier people.

That’s a good point because when I worked in central London I’m sure a Sainsbury’s charged by the weight of fresh buffet salads which makes it fair.

Might as well put a lock around the good food and escort them to the salad cart!
Actually they should do this for me

I also think that heavier people like me should pay more to fly because the heavier the plane the more fuel it uses, and airlines charge more for heavier cases so why not charge more for heavier people?

I agree, everyone should be weighed at check in, the weight added to the hold and cabin baggage weight and passengers would then get an extra credit or an extra cost... duck

There’s plenty of thin people that can put plenty of food away.
I have 3 members of staff that can eat like no ones business and they don’t have a pick on them so unfortunately this plan is flawed before it starts.

Or, maybe, they shouldn't be allowed to recline their seats!
