What does the word "buffet" mean in a cafeteria? Is it possible to do whatever you want as long as you pay?

Recently, such a drama was staged in a cafeteria in Daqing, Heilongjiang. On the evening of October 1st, a strong man actually went to the buffet with an oversized plastic basin!
At that time, the restaurant was packed, and everyone was picking their favorite dishes. Suddenly, the customer swaggered towards the self-service area with his "secret weapon" – an oversized plastic basin that resembled a small bucket.
OMG! Is this a serious meal? Or are you here to smash the field? It won't be a business rival's trick! This battle is simply the rhythm of moving the entire self-help area home!
The staff of the restaurant were probably stunned when they saw this scene. A waitress hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, politely saying that she could not use her own utensils. As a result, this big brother was directly fried! He asked confidently, "This is a buffet!" I didn't waste it, so why didn't I eat it? "
The scene instantly turned into a battle of words between him and the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager also came forward to explain, saying that the use of uniform cutlery is for hygiene and fairness. But the eldest brother still didn't give up, insisting that he should eat as much as he wanted after paying for it.
When Xiao Hou heard this, he really couldn't cry or laugh. Big brother, the buffet is for you to choose your favorite food, not for you to come and buy! You bring such a big basin and eat all the food on the table, and the others can't eat it?
The incident quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Xiaohou thinks that whether it is a buffet or other consumption places, we should abide by the basic public morality and rules. If everyone brings a big pot, the restaurant won't be destroyed!
To be honest, this kind of thing really makes people laugh and cry. When I went to eat buffet, I understood the feeling of wanting to eat back. But we also need to consider how other people feel! The essence of the buffet is to let everyone enjoy the food at a low price, not to compete with who can eat more.
And, from the merchant's point of view, they also want to make money. If everyone operates like this big brother, won't the restaurant lose to grandma's house? Therefore, I think both customers and merchants should understand each other.
I think this incident is also a wake-up call for the restaurant. Maybe they could have made it more explicit at the entrance to the rules of dining, such as limiting the number of meals picked up at a time, or simply switching to a semi-buffet format. This not only ensures the customer's dining experience, but also avoids similar embarrassing situations.
As consumers, we also need to understand that it is not easy for merchants to run a restaurant, and they also need to make a profit to continue to serve us. We should understand the difficulties of merchants and not be overly harsh. The essence of the buffet is to give us more options than unlimited serving. We should take the food reasonably according to our needs and avoid waste.
