Nah... just met the required conditions .
I work in a buffet restaurant and there is nothing wrong with them, eat all they want but just don't waste the food. I would rather have them eating up all the food rather than having an empty buffet restaurant and throwing all the food the next day.
The concern is that they stay more than they should and post it into social media
You’re assuming the buffet were to be empty on the flip side, it said restaurant staff was too busy to even pay attention, I doubt they were anywhere close to empty
Then they should pay double as 23usd per 2hrs. Since they stay for 4hrs then restaurant can ask them to pay 46usd per person .
I worked in buffet, we threw loads of stuff out every night.
I totally agree, if they eat everything and eat within the time limit, that’s perfectly ok. They went overtime and that’s the restaurant’s fault on not enforcing it. It is like going to a casino and win millions, casino has to pay out if he or she won fair and square.
At least they didn't waste anything and actually ate lol. I'm sure the staff especially the cooks appreciated that. And as a dishwasher I like the fact that they cleared the plates and bowls, that really helps honestly lol.
Lies again? Draft Kings Cold Storage
staying additional 2 hours was dishonest.
Chinese bot spotted
That ain't "All You Can Eat"
That's "Can You Eat All?"
LOL JUST A HAPPY TROLL IS HERE
Yep
@@courtly5982 thanks for stating the obvious, captain obvious 🎉
Me eating the customer
and the diner just like : Is that all you can eat?
I'm pretty sure the restaurant got a huge loss from this. This is how you actually get full advantage of a buffet. Not picking a cheap meal then can't eat anymore after 1 plate. Avoid getting noodles and rice at buffet those are distraction to make you full.
this is a one off situation. Restaurants dont have customers like them everyday..
@@smonyboy They do if they are doing business in China
@@sokratesowly2256 how do you know?
From the video, it seems the restaurant was at fault too. The customers eat passes the 2 hour time limits
@@sokratesowly2256 😂 you must be get your source from western propaganda media
That's the problem when you don't enforce a time limit on the buffet sitting. Many restaurants have a 1.5 - 2.0 hour limit on consumption.
The video said about time limit and how long they stayed
did u not watch? it clearly said the restaurant had 2 hr time limit but the staff were too busy and weren't able to ask them to leave
they forgot. and the group of glutton doesn't have enough civility to abide and took advantage
@@mothmos And you and the guy above you either can’t read or need to open a dictionary because the comment used the word ENFORCE.
Karen should learn how to read before posting comments
I think it's nobody is really at fault there, they ate all of what they ordered, they paid for it...but the issue of the 2 hour time limit not being brought up by the staff even before the client's took their first bite is their own undoing. I hope they get paid properly for their overtime cleaning up all of those residuals.
I hope they don't get sick from over eating.
the only problem is they stayed over the time limit
the staff ignored them. so they carry on eating.
@@melonusk6120 too busy = ignored
okay
@@ponjun3970 hire more staff
@@ponjun3970 make use of technology. ring alarm or something
@@melonusk6120 But it doesn't mean they ignored them. only too busy to notice
Yikes. I reckon these guys completely destroyed the toilet that night.
As someone who dislikes durian in a household of durian lovers, I’ve witnessed the aftermath of a durian feast. I swear the scent lingers for hours 😭
My heart goest out to their families who had to use the same facilities as they did that night.
big poops
Pour one out for those single bathroom household families!
You don't like durian in a durian lover households? Dude move out for your mental health. Lol
@@apostleofd119 They’ve trained me since I was a child, I guess😂. But fr tho, they’d usually enjoy the durians out in the porch, so I’m safe in my room. It’s just when I have to use the bathroom that I struggle a little bit #ifykyk
@@CogniVision 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😳😳😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think they were wrong for not leaving after two hours. Since they stayed double time they should have to double pay!
Double pay still means the restaurant is not getting the money back 😂
the staff didnt tell them that there was a time limit. they didnt know and they werent even reminded when their time was over. its on the restaurant, not them
Imagine you we're the one eating and you exceeded your time by 1 minute and the staff didn't inform you and went ahead and charge you double the price. Would you pay for it?
@@AaronLaikz of coz there is a grace period given.. But 4hours?? That is not a fair comparison to 1 min
But honestly speaking, the buffet price and the varieties in there is freaking cheap... Therefore it is reasonable to pay double..
if there is time limitation for the customers, then the restaurant should have a system to remind the customers, not just ask the customers abide to requirement by themselves.
Owners need to honour it and maybe be more attentive in their imposed time limit. As for the customers, they really done a great feast
They ate it all, no waste. But they did break the 2 hours rule. And the way they took and ate immediately what's cooked, can be inconvenience for others who dine too, tho technically it's first come first serve at these buffets, but he was basically gatekeeping there.
So in all, if you ignore the past 2 hours time limit, they are just shamelessly greedy.
I want all to realize that in the post itself, they stated that they were not forcefully eating excessively but just have huge appetites relative to their peers
@@erisphobios8250 May not excessive for them, but they past the time limit and still forcing their way to eat. No conscience for rule, their stomach win over it, greedy. No conscience for other diners too, shameless. If all diners like that, it will just become another incident where Chinese shamelessly fighting for food. Ruining Chinese people image. Just eating half of those portion is enough for their stomach. Appetite is not equal to stomach size.
I wonder how much their food expense if they ate like that daily, so much that they always took advantage of all you can eat. It said in the video they choose buffet whenever they meet and eat together. Meaning they don't want to pay for enormous bill going to normal restaurant and eat like that.
@@sgsairl1706 maybe they did fasting for days, only a spoon of rice n 2 glass of water for a day, prepared themselves for that day so they could eat all of those
But actually, shame on them for being greedy. If they were budhist(?) i believe they were a teaching in Buddhism, dont b greedy, eat before you are full
The staffs were so busy and only notice them untill the restaurant closed. If not closed, they will probably keep going slowly for more. i feel like the staffs probably got in troubles for that despite working very busy that night
@@SivaSiva-oc3jf If anything, it's probably the employer's fault for being understaffed, so no issue there
Completely fine as long as they are not wasting food and not disturbing other diners/causing a ruckus. Judging by the video, they seem very civil and it's not a crime to be big eaters. As far as the time limit goes, it's definitely the restaurant's fault for not enforcing it. They could've always double charged the customers if they feel wronged.
I feel bad for the one worker who kept serving the customer that left and came back immediately to eat more in not even 2 seconds
Haha the crab shells were so perfectly placed on the table
Just how is it possible for durians to be made available at a buffet restaurant. Aside from its smell, durian is very expensive in China.
Let me settle this once and for all. “All you can eat” is a business strategy that comes with risk. The restaurant owner knows it, they didn’t enforce the rule, that’s their issue. If things were so straightforward, I’m sure more restaurants are even more keen to operate as all you can eat.
No.
The only problem is the staff not kicking them out after 2 hours.
kind of hypocritical to do stuff, film it, publish online and say "don't do the same".
1 year old reply but the message of "don't do the same" is certainly warranted.
China has too large of demographic & posting online = engaging with BRAINLESS kids.
This is so gross. These people have no conscience.
They are chinese after-all 🤷♂️
They did nothing wrong. They played the system to it's fullest. How is "taking advantage" of an ALL YOU CAN EAT bufet wrong? They ate all the food, its not like they wasted it. Yes they stayed over time limit, but they were not asked to leave and it's possible they were not aware of the time limit. That being said, there was no limit on how much food you can eat.
It said 2 hours maximum and they stay till 4 hours. Regardless the staff didnt notice bout time consuming but as a customer its necessary to hv such an empathy to leave the restaurant, instead having more meal "more time" than they should. Its clearly mentioned in the video.
@@asianbites I know its mentioned in the video because I mentioned it in my comment... Did you even read the second half of my comment?
It's not possible they are not aware of the time limit as it state on the video that "they always go for buffet" that means they know the rules but ignoring it. and the time limit was 2 hours and they exceed it for like 4 hours? Clearly it was false action from the beginning.
@@naez9768 "they always go for buffet" doesn't mean they always go to that specific one. Also they stayed for 4 hours, they didnt exceed the limit by 4 hours.
@@naez9768 it is said that they stayed until the restaurant closed in the video, but the staffs don't know they were overtime which doesn't make sense. actually, there is no time limitation in the buffet restaurants in China usually.
Well I can appreciate the fact they did not waste any food like what we've seen with other "Chinese tourist" videos and they are at the buffet, the objective is to eat or beat it and they seem to have beaten it and I can respect that.
No wonder Chinese fishermen go to other countries' exclusive economic zones to fish everything.
As long as they don't waste anything, no problem.
Hard to imagine this kind of behavior wouldn't affect other people at the buffet.
This is normal for tourists from china.
@@equal5505 sort of ill manner and irresponsible if you ask me.. They are abusing the buffet.. They lacked the courtesy to think that others need to enjoy the buffet too.
@@jemyungsenyung3152 well it did say that a buffet is all you can eat so you can't really blame them for any wrongdoings. Unless they did something like I don't know maybe not follow the staff then yes they would be in the wrong. Also a majority of people would like to get there moneys worth in buffet restaurants. BUT yes you are right for them not being courteuos to other costumers.
Not need to affect, Chinese are all like that.
It's all you can eat. As long as you're not being loud, messy or being a disturbance, you are not in the wrong for eating a lot.
As long as you don't waste food
Must be burden for their families 😅
Best comment AHAHAHAHA
How so?
It had a timer of 2 hours so they ate for 4 hours. This problem should be solved if the diners paid the amount twice.
The fact that they ate all the food eliminates all problems.
The problem is many people are arguing that they abused the retaurant, they are greedy and they are not courteus. But I agree with you.
In Homers own words "BUT THE RESTAURANT IS ALL YOU CAN EAT... ALL YOU CAN EAT! YOU LIED TO ME!"
I’m sure the restaurant totally lost their profit for the whole day. Maybe even the month.
That’s why the time limit must be priority #1 to enforce.
Looks digusting with plates scattered and piled up
50 Boxes of Durian by 7 people? That's crazy and don't understand how they did it.
Probably took some digestive pills first. Pills that aid in digestion
@@Connetification are there rules that say they could not do that?
The only thing I don't agree with is them staying past the time limit. They can't say they forgot, they just took advantage of the restaurant being busy.
See it as an unorthodox way of a plug for the buffet restaurant, maybe it will help draw in more customers 😂
They'll probably make the money back x1000 with all the publicity lol
@@furiousdestroyah9999No, they won't. They'll attract more cheap customers like these guys trying to 'game the system' by gorging themselves to the limit.
Humans eat in piggy style.
People in my country are starving

These guys are a serious threat to China's food security campaign.
Haha
😂
So they have to be asked to leave for them not to break the rules? They stayed twice the time, charge them double 🤷♂
Meanwhile I can’t even finish one plate in a party/feast😢
Well, you don't go to an eat-all-you-can buffet unprepared. And also you pick the foods you eat, like just focusing on the main dish, etc.
@@johnlucas6683 your right, but some people are just casual guys.
okay dude 50 boxes of durians is insane💀
they are Chinese, what do you expect?
Nothing is wrong with this, unless they'd be doing this on a daily then its a different story. They didnt waste any food and that was totally fine. They did take advantage of their money, not at the expense of the restaurant because that was exactly the nature of their business
They did took advantage cos they continue eating for another 2 hours dude
50 boxes of durians. Bro is a savage.
I feel sorry for the hotels that they’re staying in after the buffet eating. The toilets are likely clogged up or overflowing.
WHAT I SEE HERE IS CALLED PURE GLUTTONY!
Not really...well maybe...probably...
Nah.. they just come prepared and took an advantage of the system. I have seen much worse than this. It just normal to skip a lunch if one planning to eat a buffet at night. Saying that kind of attitude as Cheap is more fitting maybe😂
@@caocao4266 they ate more then an average person even if they skipped a meal. You are giving them too much credit. They have eating disorder
What i see here is just normal Chinese
And this is why buffet prices go up and up
I know right. There's always someone ruining things for everybody else. It's fine though - empirical data suggests that these people who overconsume will experience an earlier death than others.
Eating for straight 4 hours alone is mad. Let alone the amount of food
Somebody should have kicked them out of the buffet after two hours. Some Chinese are notorious with not following rules, the resto owner and crew should’ve known that.
It said they were busy.we don't know the real full story. they might have been so busy because they only noticed them untill closing time
I want all to realize that in the post itself, they stated that they were not forcefully eating excessively but just have huge appetites relative to their peers
This is no longer eating til u’re full. The fact they stayed for 4 hours says everything
After some calculations, the restaurant lost over $3200 because of these guys
The restaurant gained $$$$ from customers who ate very little.
Source?
What a feat Thank you for enhancing the image of Chinese people.
🤭
Poor restaurant owners!
I remember the guy saying ill eat my moneys worth
The fact that they overstayed the 2hr buffet time limit was in itself something wrong with all 7 of them
They said they weren't informed. Did you watch the full video?
They said they weren't informed. Did you watch the full video?
From the perspective of an entertainment viewer, I am most respectful of the toothpick cleaners' humble beginnings and the courage it took to strive for their dreams. Your stunning and unique approach to toothpick cleaning is nothing short of legendary and iconic. We are in awe of your passion, and we shall prevail with your support. All the best to you in your continued efforts!
That’s why no all you can eat buffet restaurants in Europe want Chinese tourists anywhere near their restaurant. I was in Italy once & I saw the restaurant manager refuse service to a group of Chinese tourists. I asked the waiter & he said that group will finish the whole buffet if they’re allowed in & none of the restaurants will allow them in.
It’s giving racism 💀
Yesss... better watchout for the Chinese tourist. They are all big eaters😂
As long as they eat the food (not wasting it) it still in the fair use policy of "All you can eat"
Imagine going to dinner and ending up on the news
If its an all you can eat buffet, there is nothing wrong with what they did, actually they should go for more
Its an all you can eat within 2hrs they owe money bcz they stayed above the limit
There was a 2 hour limit they violated by *2 hours.*
(Why is there a 2 hour limit? Because else shameless people like you would stay there literally the entire day and eat for like 12 hours.)
Bro they stole from Southeast Asia
@@kidogames3455 no they didnt, the staff should chase them out, but they didnt.
@@user-dv7hq2rh4g i didn't know there was a time limit, plus I wasn't looking for dogs to reply on my comment
It's "All-you-can-eat" for a reason, as long as they didn't waste any food, and did not bring them home, it's all perfectly fine, i don't see why people are disagreeing with what they did if they didn't waste any food
although they did pass the 2 hour time limit. that's the only exploit they did there
They stayed 4 hours knowingly and eat that much untill the restaurant was closed.The staffs might get in trouble (which we don't know for sure) . Anyway they deserved to be criticized cuz they're not nice
@@SivaSiva-oc3jfow do you know they did it knowingly though 🤔 I have been to buffets and I am not always aware of the policies there
@@msk-qp6fn na man he just making presumptions. Don't belive anything he says that does not match up with the video
@@msk-qp6fn every buffet have a time limit and they said they iften go to buffet. Even looking at prices there will be a sign about time limit so they are lying and took advantage
They knowingly went 2 hours beyond the time limit. How is that ok.
Since theres a 2hours limit , they should be paying double for their 4hours meal to make it fair
Yup they took advantage time limit should be clearly printed along with prices so restaurants can charge them double even if they didnt kick them out. But it seems loke they got away with it
You may have the right to eat so much but this is just bad attitude and selfishness, reflecting badly on these individuals. Greed and self entitlement. They should be blacklisted. The fault is also the restaurant for not enforcing the time limit. For expensive items (like crab) there should be restrictions per person throughout the meal.
these people are just the online celebrity or vloggers. they just want to attract people's attention.
How is it greed and self entitlement?
@@patoonia9922 because they claim trying to beat the buffet is greed and selfishness yet it is something rhe majority want to do because it is human nature. They don't judfe themselves first before they judge others and they do this bc they can hide there identities from people with these comments.
Wdym restriction it's literally a buffet 😂
Unfortunately its the 0.1% that makes the rest look shameful. Although they have done nothing wrong, but it is still morally wrong.
They did soemthing wrong, they only paid for 2hrs they know time is up, but workers dint come usher, so they stayed. And they dint intend to pay for the extra 2hrs that they stayed, so they have intention of cheating. It's extra 2hrs not 30min
Every all you can eat restaurant in that region sweating profusely 😂
The restaurant could have refused them service after the 2-hour limit...🥴
Well they forgot because too busy
This is just being selfish. They over ate their portions by 10 times. You eat till you are full, not force yourself to eat more than you can.
I want all to realize that in the post itself, they stated that they were not forcefully eating excessively but just have huge appetites relative to their peers
Yup and stayed about double time knowingly. The staffs might have been so busy to notice them
You must be naive to believe that. Look how they laid out the crab shells, this was something they had planned intentionally for social media clout
Did they stay for a whole day? 😂
They must have been practicing great thick skin dafa. Unparalleled shamelessness.
Many chinese are like that. I am Chinese. Have seen it many times especially in all you can eat or paid meals before arriving. People just get as much as they can before even starting. Kinda uncivilized, but china has such a huge population. Hence, I understand
We chinese are Cheap!
Okay, we just dun want to suffer a loss and maximize the proffit as big as possible. All you can eat buffet fee is 23 usd then we will eat 2,300 usd worth of foods. Simple.
I watched that love courtyard drama so I kinda understand the problem.
How long were they there!?
Obesity would be a problem later on
As long as no food was wasted, nothing wrong with what they did. Salute to their stomach 😊
How can anyone still call this way of life moral?
Never open a buffet restaurant in China or America.
It’s mukbang feast for these guys! I think as what netizens say, they paid for it and have the right to eat as much as they want.
I don't see what's the problem. They break no rules, they paid the fee, they didn't waste any food.

All I’m saying is, this is a little disrespectful of the many people in china and around the world struggling and unable to feed themselves.
Too greedy.
That is how you actualize living in excess. Everything excessive turns out bad, bad for business and bad for health of the customers. There is an unspoken etiquette when you go to a buffet regardless if you pay for it or you were invited as a guest in a party. What would other people think of you? Your parents or you don't feed yourself well and you ended up grabbing food and not giving other customers or guests the chance to try the food you are consistently grabbing and munching? Why is the management not imposing their rules? Is the management/ event organizers allowing such unruly behavior inside the establishment? I don't see the need to pose such thing. If you cheated a system, you don't need to brag the whole world what you did. It's enough those people were able to maximize the worth of the services they paid for.
well as along as they don't waste food, all you can eat buffet is all you can eat.
No one told them the 2 hours were over,
That’s why more and more buffet restaurants start setting up time limits
Look at how lethargic they are. They were obviously forcing themselves to eat as much as possible. They would of also known about the 2 hour limit but continued on for 4 hours.They were being greedy. Also eating like this is uncomfortable and you cannot properly enjoy the food.
You don't really have any evidence that suggest they know about the 2 hour rule.
@@chrisvonsolomon3180 They said they often eat at buffets because they are big eaters…. 😂😂😂 doesnt take sherlock to figure that unless they are a bunch of imbeciles or you giving them too much credit 😂
This is not OK. 2 hours limit means 2 hours. Do not need people to remind, let alone taking advantage from employees that were too occupied to remind them. The only thing they show in proudness is they are ethnically low.
To be honest I think nothing is wrong with them except the part where they stayed longer than the limit.
That's what poor people do.
To all restaurant owners, kindly please take note of these faces and ban them from entering. Don't care if they willing to pay or not. Not even access to eat for half an hour.
Or just charge anyone double if they overstayed. The time limit shouldve been in fine print along with the prices. So staff doesnt need to kick anyone out to remind them of time limit. Just charge them double 😂
