Does eating at a buffet where you serve yourself gross you out?
-
No. Why would it?
-
Sometimes, depending on how crowded it is and the germs of others handling things.
-
I eat at buffets very rarely now, but I don't like going to the buffet and French dressing spoon is in the ranch dressing or having a gravy spoon in the macaroni.
-
No, eat in a buffet today in Brazilian steak house it is clean and very nice.
-
It depends on which buffet you go to. Some are good and some aren't.
-
No not really but it depends on the type of buffet and how clean it is before I eat there.
-
The only thing that grosses me out about it is when people pile their plates a foot high and then go back for seconds and thirds. :o :sweat:
The plus side is that it encourages me to eat less when I see that. :icon_rr:
:fish:

Why would it gross you out for people to go back for 2nd or 3rd? What difference does it make? I don't pay attention to how many times someone else in the restaurant goes back to the buffet bar. lol
-
It does not gross me out but it is not my preference. I much prefer to have a waiter or waitress take my order.
-
Why would it, I look forward to serving myself that's the purpose of going to a buffet isn't it.
-
I don't have a problem serving myself. What bothers me a lot is having some of the employees waiting for you to tip them after cleaning the table.
-
It really depends on the type of buffet and place it is at.
-
Not really if you went there to begin with that means you have done your homework and you know the place is clean and hardly anyone gets a food allergy or sickness from it. If the place is so dirty from the outside and has grass and weeds all over it, I won't even bother. For those who love Chinese buffet, stay away from the ones that has the word, "golden" or "pheasant" trust me, Not clean and even bathroom is a mess.
-
Only when you walk in and you can feel that it's not exactly the cleanest place around.
-
no doesnt gross me out, and if I see someone reaching in with their hands I would say something to them, and then tell the servers so they could switch the pans out
Only time I have ever seen anyone grab at something was a kid, and I said here let me help you before they could touch the food
-
No it doesn't gross me out. I like a buffet. I can choose from several different kinds of foods and have salad and dessert, all for one price.
-
I love going to buffets. Not only can you choose exactly what you want, you dictate how much of it you get and it doesn't matter if you have things that don't match on your plate! The only problem with buffets is the people who let their young kids loose to help themselves. I've seen kids put their fingers into the serving containers, put things back, drop them and then sneeze! I have kids but I taught them table etiquette before unleashing them on the buffet tables.

That is exactly the grossness i am talking about, lol. I saw a kid sneeze all over the dessert once and it was nasty. I skipped it that day.

Yep, my question was if it grossed people out to eat a place where basically others can touch the food, etc.
-
Self serve is ok with me when i eat at a buffet :thumbsup:
-
No. I haven't have a chance to go to an buffet for months and we would like to come one day when we have time. I'm really crave for it.
-
I do not pay attention to most people when I go to those restaurants, but I really hate to see tables with untouched food since the person fill his/her eyes before their stomach and the food goes to waste
-
It depends on the buffet. I tend to stay away from Chinese restaurants a lot of the time
-
I would think it depends on the buffet. You wouldn't catch me dead in a Golden Coral or any buffet similar to that. But we recently had friends in town and took them to a really nice buffet in the casino near by. Everything is fresh and kept clean. It better be at $50/ per person lol.
-
it's ok sometimes, but I love seafood buffet.
-
I used to eat a lot of buffets a long time ago. The only time my stomach churns is when I see kids (usually unattended) putting their hands in/on the food. :o
I've had to tell kids to not do that on more than several occasions. It's a parenting issue.
-
No not really but I do know what you mean. I work at a restaurant where we have a lunch buffet and I see people touch food, pick up food and put it back.
-
I don't eat out much anymore, because my husband and I are trying to eat healthy and lose weight.
Buffets don't usually gross me out, but I have seen a child lick a serving spoon and put it back in the food.
Usually I don't think of things like that, but it can be pretty gross if you stop and think about other people's habits.
-
the only time something grosses me out is when i see the folks use there hands to grab items off the buffet. or when they throw something back on the buffet when someone has dropped it.l other than that i jus say say a small prayer and hope for the best
-
no like to eat at one ocassionally.
-
nope not at all .. however, I don't do it often
-
I'm not a buffet person, I've gone to a few and it wasn't no time before I was grossed out. (I guess if I didn't "people watch" then I wouldn't notice the disgusting things they do...) From people using the restrooms & not taking the time to wash their hands, to an employee stirring a fly drowning in the salad dressing so it wouldn't show, to people licking their fingers and then touching food.......NO THANK YOU NOT for me!
-
it doesn't gross me out, but its not my cup of tea. Too many snotty kids and ppl sneezing or double dipping.... I'll take my chances with a waitperson bringing me a dish just for me.
-
No
