I don't know how many times we have gone to a buffet and theres always some smart*ss there to make some sort of crude comment----and for those who do dont think the person doesnt know--the snickering and nudging your buddies at the table and the little chin lift that says "check that out" is a dead give away.
To Each Is Own---If you dont want to see someone make more than one trip to the buffet ask for a table where you dont have to see it but dont sit there and ruin someone elses night out because your parents didnt teach you respect or manners

TastefullyChris said:Personally, I agree with many on this thread...I could care less who is making how many trips to the buffet line, as long as they are not wasteful and are not messy or "gross" (i.e. wiping their nose and then rooting around in the rolls! )
However, I did have a friend who was a recovering from anorexia. She was incredibly paranoid about food, portions, etc. One time we ordered a pizza and I put one slice on each of our plates. She insisted on switching plates with me because I inadvertantly gave her the larger piece! I told her she was being silly, but she got very panicky and tearful, so I switched!
There are people who have sooo many food issues and hang-ups. Perhaps the original poster asking the question is one of them. Most of us eat and enjoy it, but there are some who have a lot of emotion tied up with their eating.
So....for any of you out there who are self-conscious and worried about being judged for what you are eating...WE DON'T CARE! Enjoy yourself and your vacation!!! (Just be neat, please! )
I never even notice what anyone else other than my own kids are doing and I really cannot imagine why anyone would care what another diner was eating let alone think if them as a "pig". What an odd thing to ask. It makes me wonder if you must be thinking this when you go out to eat?superdiz said:In reference to another diner that you've seen go up once or twice before? How many times to they have to go up before you think it? Does it make a difference if they are male or female?
Odd questions but I'm intrigued...

I alway feel like everyone saw what I did and is ticked that I left that much but still go back for a new plate.

However, if you have your OWN issues with food - then it makes it even more inexcusable to think of someone as a pig because of the number of trips they make to a buffet table. One would think having issues would make you a little bit more understanding of others.
And in response to the original poster - I generally make 5 - 6 trips up to a buffet table. You may think of me as a pig all you like. I worked my booty off to lose 168 pounds. I have maintained that loss for almost 3 years now (have made 5 trips to Disney World within my weight loss and maintenance as well) - and when I'm at Disney World, I'm on vacation. I'm going to enjoy it. I've changed my thinking to understand that I must eat to live - not live to eat. But I still enjoy eating, so while I'm on vacation - I WILL enjoy myself. So if that makes me a pig, then oink, oink!
