Anyway, that was quite an enterprising family you watched. Crab legs are one of the most prized items on the Chinese buffet tables. I hope we're not going to start seeing shoving matches at the crab leg stations. The most offensive customers I've seen are people who pick up food and put it back, or let their children play at the buffet. Hope I don't run into those crab leg fiends.
Restaurants routinely price bottles of wine at double or even triple what they paid.
This covers a lot of overhead, such as storage and breakage. It encourages customers to buy finer wines which they couldn't afford if the restaurant's cost had been double or tripled. His Honor loves the policy. We've had a number of fine wines that we wouldn't have been able to afford if the restaurant had doubled the price. I saw it on a menu, but never heard of it before.
