Buffets ranging from dozens to hundreds of yuan, generally speaking, no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to get back your money. There is no other reason, because the merchants have already used deep routines in the selection of dishes, food placement and meal times, so that you will be immersed in it unknowingly from the moment you enter the store.

First, although the dishes are rich, the cost is low. Regardless of the price range of the buffet, the dishes seem to be rich and varied, from appetizers and various staple dishes before the meal to fruits, desserts, and drinks after the meal, with unlimited drinks. It seems that as long as you carefully calculate whether you eat the expensive ones and avoid the cheap ones, you can get your money back. In fact, no matter what the price range of the buffet is, the food selection is always a gimmick that attracts you first. For example, the seafood buffet always says that the supply is unlimited, but during the eating process, I discovered that the expensive ones were sold out as soon as they came out, and then they were slowly and slowly restocked bit by bit. But basically every order is sold out, and the only unlimited choices available are relatively cheap seafood. The barbecue buffet seems to have a lot of meat to choose from, but in fact many of them are frozen. Firstly, the cost is not high, and secondly, the taste is not good. Even if you eat at the buffet, you can't eat much.

Second, the time limit gives you a sense of urgency. Buffets are usually served at noon and evening, but in comparison, more people eat at night. But when people eat at night, their appetite is not as good as at noon, and it is difficult to digest, and the feeling of fullness comes very quickly. In particular, the buffet will also give you an artificial time limit and you must finish eating within a few hours. From the beginning of the meal, the countdown begins, giving a sense of urgency. So what I was thinking about was how to grab the most expensive ones, how to eat them cost-effectively, and grab them as quickly as possible. In this way, eating quickly will naturally make you feel full faster, and you will also feel a stronger sense of nausea while eating. If you drink some drinks or eat some fruit at this time, your stomach will become even more bloated.

Third, the food placement routine is deep. I don’t know how many people have discovered that there is a deep routine in the placement of buffet food. The most expensive seafood and the like are usually placed closest to the door. On the one hand, it can serve as an exhibition to attract customers. On the other hand, it is far away from the diners' seats. It is difficult to see whether it is new or not without wandering around. vegetable. But those high-calorie cooked foods, snacks, and desserts are very close to you. Especially fruits, small cakes, ice cream, etc., which are very attractive to children, are often closest to customers. As soon as the child sees that he wants to eat, the parent will take it. If the child cannot finish eating, the parent will have to help him eat. After all, if you can’t finish the meal, you’ll have to pay extra in the end. The result is that both children and adults are full in the end, but most of what makes them full is what the merchants want them to eat.
