MMD: Should David and Victoria pocket the pizza?

It's an ALL YOU CAN EAT deal...

In the explanation, you said they ate until they were FULL (thats the deal). THEN she went back... thats beyond what the deal was. Simple.

No, she clearly shouldn't. It does seem tantamount to theft.
I also tend to think that just because it's a big company who can afford to give away loads of pizza, that doesn't justify taking excessive advantage of such an offer.

Just wondered is there anything in the small print regarding this Eat all you can.

If there is no mention of takeaway doggy bags then I'd say its fair regarding left overs on your plate , although I'd say putting a few full pizzas in a box to take home would be greedy.

Personally I've taken home leftovers from a pizza i had bought and not finished BUT NOT buffet.

Also regarding America I don't think the rules are as different there. I once had a breakfast buffet in Las Vegas and left my table with a banana in my hand (I didn't feel the need to hide it) but i was stopped at the exit and told to leave it or eat it on the premises. I left it.

My younger brother did some part time shifts for Pizza Hut when he was about 16. As soon as he'd sussed out how things worked, he told us to phone around 10.30pm with an order for a few pizzas. Then, when we failed to show up to collect them, he'd innocently shrug his shoulders at the manager, tut about the nature of people who would be so irresponsible as to order food and then not turn up for it and graciously accept the manager's kind offer for him to take them home himself since he happened to be knocking off in a few minutes' time. Fresh pizza all round for us. Granted it was hardly haute cuisine, but doubtless we were less discerning back then and knowing it was free certainly enhanced the taste. Immoral? Doubtless. But pretty harmless teenage high jinx really - in fact I was quite impressed by the intelligence shown by little bruv...

Of course she shouldn't take it home!

Nutritionally I would imagine that Pizza shouldn't be first on anyone's list of a balanced diet and if she tries to add salad, vegetables and coleslaw she'll have soggy napkins and a mess on the car seat and handbag!

I think Victoria is WELL CHEAP!!! I must be honest I ask for doggy bags and in the past have helped myself to pick N mix in Woolworths but wrapping up bits of Pizza from the Pizza Hut NAH MATE!!!!

I think that was a nasty comment, Foxy.

I thought it was hilarious. :rotfl:

Let's be fair, this is a fictitious scenario, isn't it? If it wasn't can you imagine the kind of hot water this site would be in for such libellous comments?

They also do soft drinks where you pay only for the first one, it is free refills. So do you take an empty bottle along?

Anyway 'All You Can Eat' is not an offer. It's a challenge!

It's a bit like the bank charges reclaiming thing. OK, and nobody minds as long as only a few people are doing it, but if everybody starts doing it big-time, then they have to take notice.

Then the quality of the buffet will go down, the price will go up.....etc etc. All because too many people got greedy.

Sounds silly I reckon, for the sake of one cold greasy pizza slice.

If the intention from Pizza Hut was it was that you could eat anytime then people would just turn up and take whole pizzas with them for the rest of the day. Some unscrupulous people would take further advantage and go outside and sell them. If everyone did this then the offer would cease or the price pushed up to ridiculous levels. So there we would have the old expression of the few spoiling it for the many. A false economy for all other customers.
