Restaurants should be allowed to deny food to fatties

Bars deny alcohol to drunks all the time. Why can't restaurants do the same with food to people who have obviously had enough to eat? Especially now when there are more and more people who can't even afford a meal?

It may be construed as disrespectful to deny fatties any food, but it may be okay just to limit their selections to the salad menu.

Many years ago when I was traveling in the US I ended up waiting tables a few times.

When a fatty would ask what I would recommend I would suggest something healthful. Never once was my suggestion taken because the lure of cheese and deep fried crap is too persuasive.

What a wacko idea. I like wacko ideas. Wacko ideas are where change comes from. Wacko thinking is the fount of progress. Wack off away OP!

Servers should tell fatties that the restaurant is out of whatever they order from the dessert menu, even if non-fatties at the table order and are served the item.

Isn’t the point of a restaurant to make money off said fat people by giving them good and charging for it? Maybe at an all you can eat buffet they could Have a cut off otherwise what’s the point?

That goes to OP’s point that bars have to cut people off, even though they would make more money by plying drunks with as much alcohol as possible before they pass out.

To make up for loss revenue, perhaps fatties could be charged a surcharge for undeniably taking up more space and for making other guests feel uncomfortable.

R1: Salad is the ultimate fat girl food.

Eating too much food doesn’t result in a car accident, OP.

Because driving while being full is not a danger to others.

Fatties cost society in other ways.

It's hard to steer with a fat gut constantly getting in the way of the steering wheel. Judging by how fat you type, you should have plenty of first-hand experience with that.

R10, Why stop with restaurants?

Let's have grocery store cashiers refuse to ring up certain items! Taxi drivers tell the overweight to take a hike, literally! Clothing manufacturers stop making clothes beyond "Medium"! Photo submission required when ordering delivery, to outwit the sneaky!

r12, good suggestions, but for clothes, it might be better just to limit fatties to purchasing clothes in aspirational sizes.

It’s not my fault that I’m fat. I eat practically nothing. I have a thyroid issue that makes me fat.

Restaurants could keep a fatty menu to be given to fatties only, without telling them it's different from rhe regular one that others get.

The issue isn't what they're [we] eating, it's why.

Rich people have lower rates of obesity, I wonder why.

Maybe the special menu could have higher prices, too. This way they couldn’t afford to order so much.

But during these COVID times, it's what's keeping them from going out of business.
