Is it weird to go to a buffet alone?

no. if anything you might make friends

Yes you fat fuck

>>7378641
Negative. It's like any other dining establishment. Stop being so insecure.

I go to one all the time alone but then I'm also a college student so it might be less weird.
Is it more weird because I'm a grill?

I think it's more sad that you're a girl alone at a buffet

>>7378728
Nah. Some people don't need other people around them for everyday tasks. My time in a restaurant is when I catch up on my reading. It's quiet, people bring me drinks. I like the solitude. It's a completely different experience from a night out with my friends, where we are talking, and sharing food. Picking on each other. That's all nice too, but sometimes you just want to be alone with the voices.

Not at all

I often go to the local chimes buffet

Pretty good for 4 bucks

I can't help but feel a little sad for people when I see them alone at a restaurant. They're surrounded by laughing young couples and businessmen talking business and happy families, and they're just sitting there, just eating :/

It's not weird though, you go to eating establishments to eat don't you?

>>7378795
See, I never feel weird about it. I see people all the time around here eating alone. Most bring something to do. It's good multitasking time. I tend to leave the laptop at home if I'm in a place that I have to get up to get my own food, but having various requirements documents laid around for me to take notes on while I eat is common. I see all kinds of people getting shit done while they eat.

I do feel bad about the people that eat alone and just stare into space though. But then., I don't know what's on their mind at the time. Maybe they're curing cancer in there?

I'm getting conflicting messages from this post.

>>7378728
Are you that slut that always goes to the $4 buffet and makes threads?

>>7378816
This. Take a suitcase and look at the time constantly

do the waiters that grab your plates at buffets look down on all the customers?

I bring an astrophysics textbook with me and pretend to read it while I eat

>>7378726
This, desu. No one cares. If people do care, you shouldn't.

Movies, restaurants and buffets are best enjoyed alone.

>>7380111
They have to. They're standing while the patrons are sitting.

shut up faggot

>>7380395
I mean it kind of makes sense from a business standpoint, it costs more to have someone cook out front than it does to do it normally in the back.

I'm usually fine eating out alone but for some reason eating alone at a buffet makes me uneasy. No rational reason why though.

The guy initially responsible for the "I'll just have a water" shitposting goes to buffets alone, so I'd say it's probably a bad idea.

I don't eat enough to justify going to a buffet. However, I do eat alone most of the time. I prefer a quiet, peaceful meal. Nevertheless, as an earlier poster noted, going out with family or friends is very enjoyable at times. I wouldn't turn down an invitation.

Going to certain establishments alone is fine, but once you get to waitered service I think it's a bit pathetic desu.

I still do it though, just pretend I'm a tourist

>>7380529
It's only pathetic because you're hypersensitive to other people's opinions about you. As you get older, you stop giving a fuck about most stuff - especially what teenagers and young people think.

Buffets are the easiest restaurants to go to alone. Most busy restaurants won't bundle solo attendants at the same table, but buffets frequently will. You feel less resented when you're not taking an entire table to yourself.

>>7380153
Ah yes, another fellow masterdater

I love going to restaurants alone. When I do, I can always find a seat, even if it's one of those restaurants that requires reservations. You start to realize that a whole lot of restaurants open up to you just by going alone.

no, not at all. I go to the chinese place alone here all the time.

I get a plate and put a layer of honey chicken down on the bottom. Next to that they have some general tso's chicken which I put a layer of on top. Then 3 of those chicken on a stick things. 2 or 3 stuffed mushrooms, one of the small steaks and a slice of pizza. (these are small, like frozen oven cooked pizza) If Im in the mood I grab a taco.

Then after setting the plate down on the table you go to the soup section and grab a bowl. You then take this bowl back over to the main buffet and fill with pork fried rice and lo mein.

2 or 3 trips and it's $8 very well spent

>vegas

god. Knew this girl that drove me crazy (both good and bad ways) She would go to vegas every year and just sit down at the slots and get free cocktails brought to her all the time. Tells me she ends up spending maybe $5. but because she spreads it out so well and there for so long they end up bringing her free buffet coupons.

Free drinks, food, and a couple wild nights of sex with several people every year. Fucking women man.

>>7378641
It's not normal, in my opinion.
I see buffets as places you'd go on birthdays, when meeting with friends you don't see every day and other not-as-common occasions.
You can pull it off if you're not fat, though.

>>7380772
All casinos give out free drinks. You can do what she's doing if you wanted. I imagine it's much easier at Las Vegas because of the crowded casinos, but I generally don't do it where I live because the casinos aren't as busy and those waitresses will notice if I'm not doing anything.
