Frisco- $27 Breakfast Buffet
Here is my $27 breakfast buffet this morning.
Sometimes this happens..... it is what it is !!!
In the big picture.... it's fine and it's gonna happen again and again.....
And to be fair, I've been in the same situation before and the server has noticed my portion and not charged me, or charged half.

Been there, done that! HATE IT!
But like you say, it is what it is. It doesn't happen too often, but sometimes it just can't be avoided.
A few of my friends love to go to an Indian Buffet place (Cece58 used to go there all the time pre VSG!). I go along and order a spicy chicken appetizer. The appetizer gives me 4 to 5 meals. Gives you an idea of the portions this place serves. The buffet is good, but.... whew.... no way anymore!
I actually once had someone laugh at me at a buffet when he saw my plate and how pitiful it looked. I always keep that little card that Dr. C gives us that explains that we had surgery and please only charge 1/2 price or let us order off children's menu. It works most often. Otherwise I just chalk it up to the price I pay for being beautiful!

Yeah... if I am somehow forced to go to a buffet, I whip out my little kids meal card from my surgeon, and if they won't charge me kids price, I just won't eat there! :-P

I no longer think wow I need to get my money's worth and go back for seconds. Now I look at it as a opportunity to make a better food choice protein etc...than eating a cheaper Bagel or other fast food. sandwich. So having the option at a buffet when traveling are sometimes worth the price.
