Hello! And welcome to our Friday column, Worst of the Week. There’s a lot of nutty stuff that goes on in this industry, so this column is a chance for us at RCRWireless.com to rant and rave about whatever rubs us the wrong way. We hope you enjoy it!
And without further ado:
As a child I was enthralled with buffet restaurants. Here was a place where I could get a wide variety of all the salt-drenched food and ice cream I could possibly manage to shove down my pie hole for a single price. Sure, I did not actually have to pay anything since all of my disposable income at that time went towards more important things like candy and bottle rockets, but you get the point. The best part was always sticking my head under the ice cream machine and just letting it run.
This infatuation only increased into my early adulthood when I was now on the hook to pay for food myself and the thought of being able to eat four meals for the price of one just seemed too good to be true. I can still remember the attempts to actually eat four meals at once more for the after effects than the actual food that was consumed. I also remember sticking my head under the ice cream machine and just letting it run.
Of course, I never did actually eat four meals worth of food at any one time and even with my limited understanding of numbers and business I am guessing that just about every person that has ever eaten at a buffet restaurant has fallen short of actually consuming more food than what it cost the restaurant to supply. But, just the thought that I could was enough to fuel my infatuation.
