      Def one of the best in this series. I enjoy non traditional comedic stories but this was the perfect execution of a classic story. I had completely forgotten about the Golden Corral part by the ending. lol

      @@Dustomatic well maybe my idea of a buffet is different because the ones I went to (we had this awesome one called Old country buffet it was amazing especially as a kid you could go get a soda and put macaroni and cheese on ice cream, sushi you name it. My point is that usually in a buffet in my part of the country you don't have a waiter you just go and grab up whatever the hell you want. I guess you would have some crabby customers that would be mad if the tray wasn't full when they walked in and you have to cater with them. I've never been to a buffet that had a waiter.

The answer is different for different people. But once you acknowledge it, you intrinsically respect each other more because now you’re not strangers anymore. His manager(and apparently the whole Golden Corral chain) knows this and set up a system to expedite this process.

    I love this story, he’s such a good story teller! I relate to his message at the gym I go to. I see the same people everyday and we all know there we are there to exercise and better ourselves. I never speak to any of them, nor do I make eye contact. But I notice when they’re not there. It’s weird but It’s comforting to know what people are about.

I've never work on a buffet in my life and I problably never will. Nontheless, I've seen this video hundreds of times. Roy's story resonate with me in a way that should make no sense. But it does. I love his storytelling and the heart he puts in the whole bit. So, I'm sure Roy will never read this, but I just wanna thank him. Today was a fucked up day and to be able to see this before I go to bed is just bliss. Thank you.

      You should never feel embarrassed by what you like!
      The two most important people at any establishment: hospital, hotel, truck stop, wherever, are the cook and the janitor. Always make friends with them. If the cook calls you french fries, after 2-3 friendly interactions you can and Will get extra fries. When I was at a hospital one time, I would always order a burger with extra bacon fries and extra side of pickles. Dudes name was Ronny. After 3 days no up charge on extra bacon, he would close the lid and tell me to tell the cashier it was a plain burger. End of the week, he would see me on line and have it ready, walk it around the counter and tell me to go out the side door for free lunch.
      If you dont like being called french fries, just chuckle and say "the names,*insert your preferred name* but I dooooooo looooove french fries!" I guarentee you will start getting double fries for free.

      When Covid hit.....they were one of the only places still open. I always threw extra money in the tip cup.
