The gravy train has left the station! The land is no longer flowing with milk and honey! Here's some food for thought. Not to bite the hand that used to feed me, but I'm ready to kick the casino's butt for closing down the greatest thing since sliced bread: THEIR BUFFET!
This closure is a bitter pill to swallow! WHY would a casino close its buffet? That's a tough nut to crack. I guess a big cheese bit off more than he could chew. That buffet, it seems to me, was the casino's bread and butter. Always a crowd. Prices not cheap. Yet we were willing to pay. To spend the bacon we brought home. Maybe the problem was that our stomachs were bigger than our eyes. We always stuffed ourselves, dedicated to getting our money's worth. Now that we can't, we are stewing in our own juices.
Perhaps the executive who made the decision did not have egg on his face. Maybe he had too much on his plate. Bigger fish to fry. So he stole the candy from us babies. Candy in the form of a never-ending buffet. Which ended. We're trying to take this with a grain of salt, and not go bananas.
Yes, it may seem like a case of sour grapes. But Hick and Val were most disappointed to not even hear the news through the grapevine. Nobody would spill the beans. We had to drive 90 minutes, read a sign that the buffet opened at 4:00, and then be told AFTER ASKING that it was closed forever. That's harsh! It's extremely difficult to make lemonade out these lemons. We don't like these apples at all.
The peabrain who dropped this hot potato has put us in a pickle. Now we have to eat at a little cafe with big prices.
If we are what we eat, Val is a nacho, and Hick is a burger.
Maybe you could brown bag it.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I wouldn't try it!
DeleteI've never heard of a casino without a buffet!
ReplyDeleteThe smaller ones in Oklahoma don't always have a buffet, but they have a restaurant. I think a big casino without a buffet is like Val without a complaint! It might just throw the world off its axis.
DeleteVal without a complaint? Be still, my heart!!
DeleteDon't hold your breath!
DeleteSomething must have forced them to close the buffet. The casino has something going on, or the buffet had some health issues.
ReplyDeleteAn old codger at the grill where we ate said that another casino in this chain also shut down its buffet. You'd think my losses could keep it afloat!
DeleteNOOOOOOOO. I guess they could no longer afford to feed all those professional eaters that show up to buffets determined to get their money's worth. For the actions of a few, we all must suffer!!
ReplyDeleteUmm...I think Hick and I might be among those money's-worth eaters! But I guarantee, we've made ourselves suffer more than others.
DeleteShame on them for closing the buffet. I wonder if this will result in fewer people going there so they'll lose out on pokies profits too?
ReplyDeleteI've never understood stuffing yourselves to get your money's worth. I would only ever eat as much as I normally would.
I guess it depends on how far people are willing to drive to gamble. The buffet was definitely part of the reason we drive an extra 30 minutes to go there.
DeleteIf they didn't have that delicious chicken and fish, I wouldn't overstuff. Or if I had that food at home, I'd make wise choices. But there's something about delicious food that I've paid $17 to eat that makes me overindulge. Not any more! At least not there...
