Look over, there's children with their entire fuckin arm in said fountain, decline.
I'm never going to GC
I was at a local restaurant where there were no free refills, and I took a refill of Loganberry without paying.

My experience is that GC is filled with ancient relics on the verge of death. When I go, I feel as though I'm the only one who didn't get a senior discount.
While I was eating at the most reputable Chinese buffet in one city a few years ago I saw a kid, maybe 9 or 10 years old, take his half eaten plate of food back and dump it back on the buffet and then proceeded to get other things to try.
His parents ought to be horse whipped for letting himi do that. And the restaurant.
I never ate there again.

Last time I was at GC I saw a bunch of little negro kids sticking their hands and faces in the chocolate fountain. As disgusting as it was, I couldn't stop laughing at how insane and absurd it was that this was happening.

I feel like its Golden Corral's PR agents that are always making these threads.
>>7755298
They are, I can honestly say that. There's no such thing as bad publicity, and the amount of fast food threads here along with the "here's my shitty microwaved meal" threads show the cretins that are on this board.

Option #1: Morons shitpost fast food threads out of boredom. Nah, can't be that, then I'd be even more of a loser for hanging out here.
Option #2: Marketing experts specifically want attention from a site known for idiots, racists, pedophiles, trolls, and people too autistic to go outside, that routinely rig online contests and raid other sites with spam and pornography. Yep, must be that, because that makes me edgy and cool for being in on it!

A guy at a Golden Corral near my got shot and killed at the front door in front of his wife and 5 kids
I have one from a while back.
There was this Chinese restaurant called tops Buffet. It was actually the first place I had ever eating Chinese food at and it was delicious the atmosphere was wonderful and I would go there every chance I got, which as a kid it was usually on my birthday. So we started frequenting the place more but over the course of the next 10 years it had slowly gone downhill. At first we didn't mind the quality slipped up a little bit the place was a little dirtier than normal but nothing out of the ordinary that would make me too disgusted to go back. But I'll tell you about the very last time we went there.
It had been a while since we had been there because the last time really wasn't too good either but we decided to check it out one more time to see if maybe it got any better and boy were we wrong. I went to the bathroom first to take care of business and wash up. The first thing I noticed aside from it being Pretty Dirty, was urinal cakes hanging screws on the wall as air fresheners. I knew I had smelled that scent somewhere before. I would have taken a picture but it was before I even had a cell phone because that really took me back. They apparently could not feel the hand soap dispensers on the walls so instead they placed gallon jugs of generic dish soap for you to wash your hands with as the soap dispensers collected dust. The dining experience wasn't anything to be had either, to start the waitstaff would stare at you and swing by to snatch up your plate literally as soon as you put it to the side. It was very uncomfortable always being watched. The food was awful nothing to emphasize from the fact that it was just gross tasting in general. The entire place was dirty food all over the floor that looked like it had been there from the night prior the serving utensils were sticky. As we were on our way out you can see if the kitchen is little bit and we managed to see the ceiling dripping into pots and pans into the kitchen
Cont.
>>7754209
>ect ect
/etc
>>7755431
New ownership?
>>7755431
I guess I had been raining that day and they didn't fix any of their leaky ceiling. It honestly was a little sad for me because the place used to be top-notch and a decent value as well as good memories of being the first Chinese food I have ever eaten. Right before the place was closed down by the Health Inspectors they were caught scraping food from old plates back on to the buffet line. They were caught red-handed by the Health Inspectors themselves. You think you would let a little bit of food go while you're being inspected the place vacant for about 5 years and now some Indians opened a restaurant there and has undergone new management probably three times by now
>>7755440
Also, did literal Chinese people own and staff the place? They're known for their unsanitary practices.
Why all the Golden Corral hate? Golden Corral is honestly better than a fucking movie.
I have a friend named Bruce. Bruce looks to be some kind of honest-to-God pirate at first
glance, and I mean Captain Jack Sparrow's crew pirate, and the ornery, mean old fucking pirate
you'd never, ever want to mess with because he'd bite your God-damned nose off and eat it. He's
also wildly into K-pop, choreographs his own dance routines to it, and in the last year or two
has started just basically eating like a Korean, which apparently means shitloads of vegetables
and cabbage. Anyway, Bruce goes to Golden Corral like 2x a week, which I thought was kind of strange
due to his new health kick, so finally I asked him about it.
"Dude," he said. "Golden Corral has a shitload of vegetables, and their cabbage is great. But
you're missing the point. You don't go to Golden Corral just for the food. It's fucking dinner theater."
And you know what? He's right. For $12 you can sit and watch some of the most hilarious, downright
hellishly gluttonous behavior you will see outside the Plane of Fat in the Demonic Abyss. I went with
him one time and laughed so hard at some of the shit on display that now I go with him about once a
month, get a big plate of steak and another big plate of salad, stake out a spot where you can see
most of the buffets (and oh for fucking sure the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL) and just observe the kind of
unbelievably self-indulgent (and self-destructive) shit that would make a European or Southeast Asian's
person head explode off their shoulders in horror and make someone with a "sick sad world" sense of
humor laugh their ass off.
Someone, say, like me.
>>7755447
Yeah it was the Chinese. With any Chinese restaurant it's always hit-or-miss anyways. But it was just strange that it started as the best in town and just drop down to the very worst.
>>7755450
For example, the very first time I went with Bruce I was witness to "the recon." This is a real thing,
and what I am about to describe is not an isolated incident, no sirree. Humongously fat people will
literally go scout the buffet. Now, I think we all do this to some extent at a buffet, in the "Hmm,
what do they have to eat here?" glance-while-walking-to-the-table sense, but this is done with military
precision, people. I've watched with my own eyes three people, all of whom were 300 lbs+, meet briefly
and talk, then split up and go to the buffets, carefully eyeballing each selection, lips moving, fingers
pointing, as if cataloging the unearthly delights that await them, then fucking meeting back up in the
same place to discuss what they saw and plan an attack. I'm serious. They were like 10 feet away.
"Guys it looks like the fried chicken tonight is coming out pretty fast, pretty sure that stuff's going
to be good, but the rotisserie is just kind of hanging out. Pulled pork was kind of crusty but I think
if we dug down a bit there's good stuff there. There was a bit of a crust on the edge of the brown gravy
and someone dropped some fucking broccoli in it but the white gravy's looking fine. Outside of that, hot
bar A looks good. And of course the bourbon chicken looks good as always."
"Fantastic. Well, the guy cooking the steaks told me they are busting open a new box in about 20 minutes,
so we should probably lay off that until then. I noticed there was a lot of bacon in the green beans right
now so that should probably be one of our first stops. The mac and cheese tonight also looks fucking
delicious, it's got a nice crust unlike that bullshit last week when it was practically yellow water, so we
need to move on that. It looks like they recently changed out the taco stuff, especially the nacho cheese,
it looks brand new, so, take that for what it's worth."
>>7755454
"Well I've got bad news guys, from what I could see it looks like tonight's a no chocolate cake night,
they only have that fucking one that has those fake cherries on top, and we all know how that fucks things up."
>groans all around<
"But it's not that big a deal because they just put out rice krispies with chocolate coating and the girl
said they've got tons of them. They've also got those sugar cookies and some fudge brownies that look all
right, and all the other pie shit they usually have."
"OK, so green beans, fried chicken, the mac and cheese, the white gravy, those are tonight's superstars.
Let's go."
I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. I expected a fucking Wonder Twin powers-esque ring bump at this point, but instead
they just all fled to a plate dispenser and began loading the fuck out of their plates. It really reminds
me of nothing so much as when people like, discuss what's going on with their favorite sports teams.
Except with food.
This is also when I first experienced the phenomenon of the "multiplate."
>>7755455
Now, your average person will take a plate to the buffet, fill it with food, and go back to their table and
eat. But, you see, that person understands that when they are done eating, if they want more, there will be
more food available at that time. But the multiplater wants to hedge its bets. What if, between that first
and second trip to the buffet, the restaurant suddenly ran completely the fuck out of food? Like, not even
mints by the cash register or gum in the quarter machines? WHAT THEN? Your deliciousness per second
(DPS... sorry) will go down!
It doesn't bear thinking about. Now it's unlikely, gentlemen, but not impossible, so as we are smart
consumers, we're going to guard against the possibility. So let's each go get three complete plates of food
and come back to the table.
Now I'm not talking a meal plate and a salad plate, as I mentioned before I myself do that every time I
go to watch this... whatever the fuck it is, Theater of the Grotesque, I guess. But just imagine for a
moment going up to the buffet and getting a plate loaded down with actual fucking rib-sticking food. 3-4
chicken wings and legs, a big-ass helping of mac and cheese, some mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans,
two corns on the cob, and a yeast roll or two, then taking it back to your table. Time to eat, right?
WRONG. DIPSHIT. WHAT IF THEY RUN OUT OF FOOD WHILE YOU ARE EATING YOU GOD-DAMNED NINNY? WHAT ABOUT YOUR DPS?
So you just set this completely full plate down and go get another one, and again you just completely fill
the fuck out of it with food. A couple of steaks, a pile of pulled pork, a rice mountain topped with sugary
chicken (MOUNT BOURBON), and a couple of smoked sausages with nacho cheese on them, then you take that
back to your table.
>>7755458
You now have enough food at your table, JUST ON YOUR PLATES, to feed an entire platoon of ten year-olds who
have been playing all day. Time to sit down and pig the fuck out. WRONG. DIPSHIT. WHAT IF THEY RUN OUT OF
FOOD NOW? YOU'VE ONLY GOT LITERALLY TEN OR FIFTEEN THOUSAND CALORIES ON YOUR PLATE, YOU'RE PRACTICALLY
GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH. IF YOU DON'T KEEP YOUR DPS UP WE'LL HAVE TO KICK YOU OUT OF THE GUILD DUDE.
So again you set your second completely full plate down and go back AGAIN. I dunno what the fuck you get this
time, since you already have basically everything they serve, but on one multiplate I watched a dude walk(?)
to the salad bar and create the following salad:
1 giant ladle of blue cheese dressing directly onto the plate
Multiple giant scoops of shredded cheese on top of this
Multiple giant scoops of those weird ham cube-bits on top of this
Multiple giant scoops of bacon bits on top of this
Multiple giant scoops of boiled egg crumbles on top of this
An enormous pile of croutons
A giant scoop of mushrooms (I think this "made it healthy" because mushrooms are like a fish or something and
fish is negative calorie superfood?)
2 giant ladles of blue cheese dressing on top
Just think about that for a fucking minute. OK, frankly, it sounds pretty delicious, but holy shit how horrid
does something like that have to be for you? Imagine trying to shit that out a few hours down the line. But
now you have your third plate, and so now you can at least quiet the yammering fear that you won't get to eat
everything in the entire God-damned place before it closes down for the night, and at last you can finally
start to eat.
>>7755455
I usually start with a salad. These guys are taking this buffet thing super serious.
>>7755462
Again, this is not fantasy. I've watched this multiple times. I've seen a woman so fat she had to use a walker
to move sit by herself at a 4-person table and completely cover the surface of it with plates of food before
she started eating, and she cleaned every last one of them. It has the same uneasy, somehow alien fascination
of seeing a car wreck, or a really fucked-up porn where the chick is wearing spider prosthetics and hissing all
the fucking time. You're like, am I really supposed to be entertained by this? I kind of feel bad, and sort of
weird, but... I mean, just fucking look at it. It's brutal, unchained nihilism unfettered from any concept of
moderation or shame or self-preservation and frankly it's kind of fascinating watching someone deliberately say
"Fuck any sort of a comfortable life, WHERE IS THE THOUSAND ISLAND CONTAINER?"
So what I'm trying to say is, Golden Corral really is cheap dinner theater, and believe it or not you can
actually eat there without consuming ten thousand+ calories if you just eat a steak strip or two and some salad
or potatoes or something.
Oh, and did I mention the Chocolate Wonderfall? Well, frankly, if you dare to use that fucking thing I salute you,
because it wouldn't surprise me to find a live octopus in it. This is already too long for a dumb post about
obsessive fatties at Golden Corral, but if I get a chance later I might type up some of the shit I've seen
people do with that thing.
>>7755466
OK, so, as promised, the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL.
That's right, a non-stop flowing river of chocolate decadence.
I have no idea how it's legal to have this thing. At first glance it's like, "Yeah, that's kind of cool, looks tasty,"
but then on further reflection you begin to think of terms like "vector" and "transmission" and "patient zero" and
start to reconsider. They don't let restaurants serve food "family style" (big bowls and serving spoons in a common
dish on the table) and this seems like family style on steroids. I dunno.
Bruce told me about the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL one night on the way to GC. "Dude, they have like this chocolate river
thing now, you'll see."
"Is it good?"
"No, dude. No. Just watch."
Now, they have a person who stands in the dessert section who is supposed to, I guess, guard the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL?
But they are not always there, and occasionally disappear into the back of the restaurant to do whatever it is that
is done back there. This is as effective as any guard who is randomly gone. But in case user 'goldencorral' is in
this thread, I will say that every gross/unsanitary thing I've seen regarding the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL has taken
place when this person, who I will call Deputy Sweeto, was gone.
I must come to buffets when everyone is civilized since I never see any dumb shit.
>>7755468
The way people are actually supposed to engage with the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL: take a piece of something that would
be good with chocolate, stick it on a skewer, stick it under the chocolate, you are done. Put it on a plate so it
doesn't drop all over the place, go back to your seat, eat, enjoy, go home. Fifty return trips to the CHOCOLATE
WONDERFALL optional, but necessary.
So here are some things I've seen people do with the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL. Note that the real threat to the
integrity of the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL is not adults, who although they may do disgusting and unhealthy things to it
(such as using, say, actual fucking fudge as the material to be chocolate-covered) most of them are conscientious
enough to not be unsanitary.
Oh, but unattended children, they Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck. And believe me, at GC there's going to be some unattended
children, because mommy and daddy are trying to get their DPS up people, and paying attention to their precious
living things might result in someone else getting more of the mac and cheese crust covering by delaying their
second multiplate.
Chocolate chicken leg: This is what I saw the first time I went there and just before the only time I contemplated
chocolating something up. Just as I was about to get up, I watched a little kid, probably about 6-7 years old,
walk up to the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL and stick a fried chicken leg in it.
>>7755474
Now, frankly, this is fucking hilarious. Just really think for a minute about seeing this, the little dude just
staggering over to the chocolate and plunging a fried chicken leg into it. There's no question at this point that
little bits of fried batter are getting knocked off by the power of the WONDERFALL and merging with the chocolate,
and I know there's nothing I'd like better on a strawberry than some soggy, chocolate-infused fried chicken coating.
So already Bruce and I are laughing so fucking hard we're practically injuring ourselves, but this gets better.
After thoroughly chocolating this chicken leg, the kid yanks it out from under the WONDERFALL, makes no attempt
to put a plate under it or anything, and turns and walks away from the thing, trailing the chicken leg at his side
like a caveman's club.
Well, it is dripping chocolate. Not a lot, but some, and no one is paying attention to it, so people are walking
through this liquid chocolate and just smearing it all over the place and making a hellish, God-awful mess.
Admittedly, it's just around that dessert section, which is tile, but still. Little dude walks back to his table,
looks at the chicken leg with some consternation, and then just throws it under the table on the floor.
>>7755483
it's a well known tale my dude
>>7755485
I've seen a dude take a plate of bourbon chicken (which, to the uninitiated, is basically chicken bits in a brown
fructose sauce... but okay, it's delicious too), walk over to the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL, and use a spoon to
completely cover his already-soaked-in-fucking-sugary-solution chicken pieces in milk chocolate. Ol' Deputy Sweeto
was there for this one, but didn't say anything because, well, what the guy was doing wasn't unsanitary or harming
the fountain or anything, it was just, you know, gross beyond belief at the cellular level. As he walked away
Deputy Sweeto caught me staring. We locked eyes across the restaurant, shared a brief look of "What have we seen?
Others have not...", and then went about our normal business, strangers connected by a shared glimpse into the
Maw of Chicken Madness.
Dude took his chocolate bourbon chicken over to the buffet, put a little rice on the side, and went and ate the
whole fucking thing. Frankly I was tempted to go get a chunk or two of bourbon chicken and do the same thing myself
just to see what the fuck that could possibly taste like and why someone would eat a plate of it, but then I
realized that I will at some point want to look at myself in the mirror and feel proud of my life as a human being
and so I didn't.
>>7754668
I don't know... kinda long. Probably eat a popsicle instead senpai
>>7755491
CHOCOLATE WONDERSPRAY: Occasionally you will get someone who is not satisfied with a single layer of chocolate on
their treat, and they will stand for a moment and let the chocolate on their tastybit harden a smidge and put some
more chocolate on it. OK so by occasionally I mean "almost everyone does this." I don't consider this horrid
gluttony unless you're up there for fucking five minutes and walk away with a chocolate baseball on a stick
(but yes, I've seen people stand up there and do that for literally five minutes before, I think they are mainly
just trying to drip as much chocolate as possible onto the plate they hold beneath it, "Whoops, now I guess I
have to eat all this too, mustn't waste!"). But this little girl takes the cake for that shit. If standing there
and maybe gently blowing on your chocolate-covered tastybit allows more chocolate, then you know what would be better?
Blow on it like you're Superman putting out the fucking Towering Inferno, that's what!
The little girl dunks her krispie, pulls it out, and proceeds to blow on it like Superman put- you get it. Well,
this results in little chocolate drops being blown all over the fucking place. The sheer violence of the blowing is
also denuding her little treat of chocolate, so she sticks it in again and does the same thing, with the same results.
So again. And again. At this point the area near her is beginning to resemble something that has seen the touch of
several shotgun shells full of chocolate birdshot. At last her mother saw what she was doing and came and got her, and
then, in an unusual and heartening twist, called for Deputy Sweeto and tried to help clean up. Your average mom at GC
would have grabbed her child, looked around anxiously, and then slunk away. So high five, moral and responsible mom!

Not what I would call a restaurant but when I was about nine I went to Incredible Pizza for a party. Some Jamaican worker approaches me and gives me a cup full of quarters, about 10 buckaroos worth. He tried telling me something but it was too loud so I just nodded my head, he left after that. He was probably a pedophile or something.

I think the quality of a Golden Corral depends heavily on the ethnicity of the staff and the clientele, with hispanic being the best and blacks being absolute worst.

I am still baffled to this day. It was like he had never been to a buffet before. He did come from a poor family and maybe he just instinctually hoarded all the food he could so in fear it would be taken away from him?

I was at a certain locally-renowned steakhouse in albany, ny that has a very well-stocked salad bar, so good you pretty much have to try it (plus it comes with the meal). It's even set up in a way that you can't sneeze on the food, which is reassuring. the steaks here are really good, I know they train their servers well. I have a peanut allergy and they always ask me what other legumes/beans I'm allergic to when I tell them. just the fact the servers know a peanut is a bean, not a nut, makes me confident in the place. they also have an open kitchen, so that also helps.
anyways, I was sitting at a table near the salad bar and saw someone lick the dressing spoon, realize immediately they fucked up probably without thinking about what they were doing, then put it back in the dressing and try to hold back a smile as they walked back to their table. nobody noticed and I didn't say a thing because, frankly, I also thought it was funny.
still, it ruined all buffet-style food for me, though I will continue to eat the regular food at the place.
Last time I went to Golden Corral was back when I was like 11 or 12. But I'll never forget about this one time I went and there was this absurdly obese guy waddling around with his fat hanging down to somewhere around his knees. His shirt didn't cover it, even while he was standing up. And it's not like his shirt was absurdly small on him. Anyways, this guy was waddling around with his oxygen tank in hand, his plate in the other, kind of just pacing back and forth around the food while putting the plate up to his mouth and eating out of it like an animal. He wasn't using utensils, or even his hands. He was just taking the damn plate up to his face. It's as if he was guarding the food or something. The fucker just wouldn't sit down. He did that for a good 10-15 minutes until he finally sat down with the rest of his obese family. It was so strange and depressing. I felt so ashamed to be in that place. Even at my young age. Even my dad noped the fuck out of that place after witnessing that. And my dad is a pretty heavy eater. We never went back. Haha
>>7756240
What would happen if you ate cashews?
>>7756334
It would cure his allergy, the trick is getting close enough to the cashew quick for it not to kill you.
>>7756334
i guess i'd probably die. when i first realized i had an allergy was after eating some. tongue kind of swelled up but nothing worse. went to er, got a benadryl shot and that was enough to clear it up. that was about 4 years before the buffet incident, and didn't think my allergy was very bad. just enough to be a bit scary.
>>7755076
>$12 all you can eat

I believe you. I know it's not the greatest place, but I like to go to Popeyes and never had a bad experience when Hispanics worked there.
Spoke Spanish so my grandmother could order in ease, fast service, and very kind. But once they left (they were mostly college students) and the blacks moved on, the food quality went to shit.

I once found a large metal shaving in my coconut shrimp at a chinese buffet. I'm guessing it was some kind of canned sauce and the machine snapped some of the tin off.
I got a free meal out of it.
I probably could have gotten more than that, but I liked the place enough to not do anything more.

I don't understand how it's even legal. In what other context would health inspectors allow a restaurant to serve food that was very likely contaminated by hundreds of customers.
When I was 4 years old my grandma took me out for lunch at a chinese buffet. After we finished eating and my grandma was paying, I asked her for a quarter to get a gumball from the machine. Right after the gumball came out, I accidentally dropped it on the floor. The waitress saw this and gave me a quarter for another gumball, much to my delight.
Last year I went with my family to the same place, when we were finishing up my dad asked the old lady who served us how long she's been working there for, because he's been coming here for years now. She told him 25 years, and then it clicked. I told her that someone bought me a gumball when I was a kid, and she instantly remembered, and retold the story to my family. Apparently I hugged her after that which I don't remember and is pretty weird for me because I've always been scared of strangers.

Dad ended up with worse food poisoning than the scallops from Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in LV ("Steak" in "The Paris", I believe). Also we went through a number of states on the way to Texas, so it may have been any one of those and not Texas, but it wasn't east of TX because we flew out of Dallas to New Orleans.
If you want a really comfy trip btw, take the overnight train first class from NO to NY when it's snowing. Lying in the bed watching the snowy scenery go by is comfy af. While we were on the train we sat with a sassy black woman for breakfast. Upon hearing we'd been to golden corral she said "Oh you been to golden corral? You seen the best of it!" completely sincerely.
>>7757383
Did you go through southwest CO? If not, you missed out in one of the only non-shitholes in the U.S.
>>7757382
I did say we went to a number of states on the way. We stayed overnight in small rural towns, we even detoured to Amarillo because we had a spare day (they had a sad, sad zoo there, anorexic lion etc).
I don't know where you really expect tourists to go, Portland? Seattle? What's your criteria for a large shithole? Where should we have gone, anon-sama?
>>7757388
Indeed we did, not Denver though and we were only there a couple of days. Wanted to hike around a national forest (San Juan would've been most convenient), but it was snowing a lot and we didn't have the equipment.

Nigger, this is an image board with a limited word count per post, a a limit of posts per thread.
No one wants to deal with a copypasta essay that isn't formatted for this site. It's obnoxious and it's poor etiquette. The proper way to post it would have been to link it to an original source, then provide a brief abstract or exerpt of its content. Don't be retarded by brushing it off as "kids these days". This has less to do with short attention spans and more to do with delivery. It doesn't matter how good the story is if it uses an inappropriate medium.

where i live it's because buying all this stuff in bulk is a lot cheaper, and many people don't even go all out on buffets. it's just a few extreme cases who eat food worth more than they paid for.

In the place I used to work we had a couple chocolate fountains left over from some function, so they brought them back to the kitchen with the fruit skewers they still had left in the fridge and let us go at them.
When the fruit ran out one of the cooks made an extra-crispy batch of chicken wings and ran them under the dark chocolate one.
Turned out chocolate coated chicken wings are amazingly good, but only one other kitchenbitch took him up on the dare and no one believed us.

I think reboiling/further processing the shells could make them more """bio-available""", as processed calciferous shells are used in higher end calcium supplements.
I was raised similarly; I don't like to waste anything. It was a struggle to learn that at some point, some things just aren't worth the time.
Making stock is a good idea, though. I've never made my own seafood stock.

Not him, but getting sucked off regularly is pretty standard for lifeguards. Boring as fuck job, but shit was cash as fuck regardless.

>TFW no nigger cock in his ass tho
Canadian here. I went to Golden Corral twice and both times were a nice slice of American lifeL
The first time, there was an absolutely enormously obese family that ate insane amounts of food both at their table and the buffet. It was horrible to watch them eat but I couldn't stop, it was like a freak show.
The second time, there was a whale of a woman, probably 400 lbs or so, and her rail-thin husband/boyfriend. He didn't eat much and even brought additional plates back to the table for her. She had a plate that was stacked a few inches high with fried bacon. This was her palate cleanser between every few bites, I shit you.
The staff clearly knew her there and she tried to bring an entire pie to her table and they gently/professionally persuaded her to just try one slice first. It was like they were vainly trying to save her from an extra 2000 calories, it was really sad.

If I had a nickel for every story about a faggot who moved to a bigger city to get away from drag queens named D'Lester...

Waiters are not even necessary for buffets. Just set up a drink station and I can get my own plates and drinks.
Though I guess they'd find a way to make you tip the people who scrape the plates before putting them in the dishwasher.

more plox,
Do ameritards really eat from troughs of food that have been sitting out for hours and that God knows how many people have previously manhandled, coughed and sneezed into?

My uncle used to work at Golden Corral. He got fired because he was closing one night and a greyhound bus pulled up at 10 minutes before close, and he locked the doors.
>>7762240
Yup, and the bigger city suburbs often have Buffet Sushi.....that will sit for sometimes 5+ hours in the open, waiting to get gobbled up my some "classy white trash".....i'm that classy white trash :)

Golden Corral is full of a special breed of American, the kind you think of when you are thinking of negative stereotypes.

The same thing happens at any restaurant that has toppings or sauces. People can't handle the fact that I want to enjoy the dish itself unencumbered by a flood of sauce and random bits of throw away ingredients

What's the strategy for the Trashy Landwhale miniboss?
Should one try to go for breaking through the ablative armour quickly or kite it for the death from a thousand cuts?
How quickly does it rage?
>>7762488
I went to the buffet at the Mirage, and it was the same crap you get at any other buffet in the country. A bunch of review sites said Mirage had one of the best buffets, too.
>>7762949
You can easily abuse it's slow turn speed and constantly circle behind it, you only need to watch out for the heavily telegraphed backswing though. It rages after taking 25% damage but you can reset it by breaking line of sight, where it rages again after another 25% damage.
After reading that long ass fucking story, I'm going to have to go hit up the one near me and see whats up, anyone have recommended times to go to see the most fucked up shit?

When I was younger our local Golden Corral was actually really good. Salad bar was always freshly stocked, food was cooked perfectly, everything was flavorful and delicious, best motherfucking steaks in town, fresh seafood, everything.
Few years ago the quality just started taking a nosedive. Every time I would visit the food just got a little worse, the employees got a little shittier. Their "seafood buffet" went from being grilled tuna steaks and crab legs to from-the-box frozen popcorn shrimp and tiny tilapia fillets stewing in grease. Eventually it got so bad that not even the old people would go there any more, and the place closed down.
Now it's just a vacant building sitting in an overgrown lot. A ghost of what it once was. The sign is long gone but the marquee remains, reading "losd" because the c and the e fell off.
I used to work at Golden Corral as a dishwasher I fucking hated it. My first day there they had me on fry cooking endless amounts of bacon for a some stupid shit they had going on the next day. Plus I had this other guy teaching me how to make all the fry foods including the Bourbon chicken. I don't understand how people love their fried chicken so much they just throw the shit in regular flour and fry it and for some strange odd reason the people that come here think its the best fried chicken they ever had the shit isn't even seasoned. I've seen lots of weird/disgusting shit go down in that restaurant such as customers going into to bathroom taking a shit or piss and not washing their hands and they'll go right back to the buffet and start picking shit out with their hands. I've seen one guy take fried rice and bourbon chicken walk over to the chocolate fountain and pour chocolate sauce all over his rice and chicken. People start getting angry if their aren't certain pieces of fried chicken out. One time this lady who was a size of a fucking whale get really really fucking mad when their was no more chicken legs this fucking hog got soo god damn angry she tossed her plate in the air and had the biggest fucking fit in the planet, the managers begged the fry cook to stop what he was doing and make this women 10 legs so she can stop going on a rampage. I've seen so much shit working at that shit show I could go on forever. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask

It was never good, you were just a kid and had no idea what you were eating.
>>7763269
>he actually had to work at a GC
My deepest condolences
>>7763269
so while you were working, you watched people going into the bathroom, then followed them to witness them not washing their hands, get your fucking story in a believable state before posting you shit lord.
>>7763269
Their entire customer base is overgrown children; why would they fry anything other than legs?
>>7763282
>so while you were working, you watched people going into the bathroom, then followed them to witness them not washing their hands
Or maybe you know he went to go use the restroom and when he was washing his hands he noticed that one of the many lardass customers were leaving the restrooms without washing their hands? I mean I know it's hard to believe that the employees also use the restrooms but bear with me on this one.
>>7763304
? you can't possibly know if they washed their hands or not, or if they actually used the toilet instead of just going to blow their nose or something, unless you are in the bathroom. The story is bull shit and he/she has never worked at GC.
>>7763282
First off dumb ass I work BOH so I have no way of seeing anyone go into the bathroom so clearly I would have to be in there at the same time to see this shit happen...Right? So assumption make any sense ?
>>7763307
confirmed, workers are actually not allowed to use the public restroom wash area; they have to sanitize in the kitchen. that every restaurant is required to have.
>>7763286
The contained 9 pieces of chicken (legs,wings and thighs) most of the bags only came with 3 legs and they went out QUICK
>>7763307
Obviously you've never been to the GC I worked at but alright.
>>7763304
Thank you for stating this I honestly can't believe half of /ck/ is this fucking stupid its giving me a headache atm.
>>7763318
>they have to sanitize in the kitchen
So they have to shit and piss in the kitchen as well
