But all-you-can-eat isn't that great of an idea if you can't eat much or if you don't like being ridiculously full. An order of Thai food, Indian food or a 6-pound burrito platter costs about the same as the salad bar AND you can bring the leftovers home so you can have several more appropriate sized meals instead of one giant one.

People are very conditioned to assume that the more they get for a given amount of money, the more 'value' there is. Why, if you can get a Big Burger for 3.50 and a Super Big Burger for only 3.99, get the 3.99 !! That's such a great deal! I'm sure the hidden cost of the above 'value' is pretty apparent...

Seems like there is a competition going on between the customers and the business. First, they introduce it all-you-can eat. Then multiple customers enjoy a single purchase with multiple trips. Then they introduce the one-time rule. So now, multiple customers enjoy a single purchase with a single trip. Seems like this would likely end with the elimination of the salad bar.
