One horror story could be constantly dealing with rude customers. Some buffet workers have to face customers who are extremely demanding, like asking for special dishes not on the buffet line immediately. Another could be the huge mess left behind. People often scatter food everywhere, and buffet workers have to clean it all up, which is time - consuming and disgusting. Also, there might be issues with food shortages during peak hours, and the workers get blamed for it even though it's not entirely their fault.
I've also heard of buffets where the utensils were dirty. Imagine picking up a fork or spoon and seeing food residue still on it. It makes you wonder how clean the rest of the buffet is and whether the kitchen follows proper hygiene procedures. This kind of situation can really put people off and make them avoid that buffet in the future.
One time at an all you can eat buffet, I saw a person piling food so high on their plate that it was spilling over. Then, they took a few bites and left the rest. It was such a waste and made me feel really uncomfortable as there were others waiting for the food.
Another bad experience could be when the food is not fresh. I visited a buffet where the seafood smelled really off. It turned out that some of it had been sitting there for too long. Buffets are supposed to offer a variety of fresh food, but when they don't, it's a huge disappointment. Also, overcrowding can be a problem. You have to wait in long lines for every dish and by the time you get to the food you want, it might be almost gone.
There was this instance where a buffet worker had to clean up after a group of children. The kids were running around the buffet area, knocking over plates, spilling drinks, and making a complete mess. The worker was already short - staffed that day, so it took a long time to clean up all the chaos. And the parents of the children didn't even bother to stop them or help clean up. It was a real nightmare for the buffet worker.
The buffet area of the royal party was very popular and the prices were very competitive. 99 yuan per person (including 4 hours of singing time), you can taste hot dishes, sushi, soup, desserts, fruits and other dishes. In addition, the store would also regularly introduce special dishes, such as German pork knuckles. In terms of reservations, it was recommended to book two to three days in advance. Due to the limited number of seats, small and medium-sized rooms were often full. Although the room rate for a royal party was slightly higher than a pure KTV, it was still within a reasonable range. In addition, there were also different sets of drinks to choose from, and the prices were relatively low. In general, the royal party buffet performed well in the market with its careful production and service.
