The Supermarket buffet!

[life]

Wouldn't this be cool? It's a buffet connected to your average grocery store. The rules are it costs $300 per person due to how much it would costs to stock it. You can't leave with anything. Everything must be used or eaten in the store. Cooks will cook shit for you. You can only leave with three things. I think it would be a cool gimmick even if it wouldn't actually work due to the high costs. It came from this dream I wrote in my dream log:

We were in canada and we were in one of the main cities. It was some kind of special event where we bought tickets that gave you access to a bunch of things. There was a huge part before this, but I can't recall it. I don't know why we were there but we were with family from my sister's side, so it must have been some kind of vacation. We enter an extremely fancy restaurant. The big orange gay guy from the Sarah Silverman program was with us for some reason. He really wanted to go in here after we just ate, so some of us agreed and the rest of them told us to meet them at the police station. It was very expensive. When we finally entered the golden doors it revealed a GIANT buffet. Fancy stuff, resturants like McDonald or Wendys, EVERYTHING. I started right in the front with the chinese food. It was awesome! Some girl came up to me and started flirting, but I couldn't helo but think she was just messing with me. Real life trolling. Later on someone whispered that this was true. She said she might meet up later. I ate right off the buffet ta les. When I got to the end there was another door. It lead into a complete replication of your average super market. It was a super market buffet! You could take anything you want! I was walking around just taking stuff it was awesome. This went on for awhile until everyone started crowding for some reason. A leader guy was making an announcement and said he had a gun. Chaos broke out. A bomb went off somewhere in the building shortly after. I was outside trying to find the police station because that's where my family said to meet them. I was running around the city and then woke up. It was very fun. I think it would be cool if the super buffet/supermarket existed.

Would you go to this if it existed?

Oh my god...That sounds incredible...

It sounds like a really cool, but terribly impractical idea. I would certainly go there a couple times, but I feel like it would become so gross, crowded and understocked that it would fail within a week.

Fat people would just bring a portable TV and camp out in the aisles for days, waiting for their favorite foods to be restocked.

The demand on the cooks would be way too much, since 90% of the things you buy in a grocery store have to be cooked/cleaned in a kitchen, or at least require some sort of preparation.

But yeah - I would go there once, just to see if it actually worked, but I don't think I would want to eat there, since buffets sorta gross me out.

State a maximal amount of time one can spend in the buffet and you've got me.

[Sensationalism]

Terribly impractical but extremely awesome. It'd be a lot of fun, for sure.

I should start a dream journal. I always mean to and then stop. I need to write down my Oprah dream before I forget it.

Haha. Besides this, it would be pretty cool. No, wait, it would be cool with this. A new thing for a 'zombie survivalist' kind of person, I might also want to add.
Our Kings supermarket has a small salad bar somewhere in the store, but you have to take the food up to the cashier first before eating it.

This is a high quality buffet bro. It costs you a week's paycheck per person. Of course it wouldn't work, but if I ever become a billionaire then I'm going to make this even if I do lose money.

Whoe Foods does this kind of thing. There's buffet-like aisles where the food is ready to eat, you pick what you want, and pay for it.

Thing about Whole Foods is if you go in without a plan or list you may spend a lot more than you wanted to.

I only write log them when I have a awesome dream. I get REALLY lazy about it. I have like six entries over a 3 month time span.

Oh, that makes me feel better about it then.

Does anyone else go through the produce section and eat whatever they want when nobody's looking?

I forgot to post the 3rd rule where you can't just hang out forever. There's a 5 hour limit to how long you can be in the buffet.

[Jamoke]

For 300 dollars, I better be able to take part in the gunfight with a bigger celebrity than Steve Agee.

We have those, except abit smaller in our County Market/Cub Food stores in the US. There are small buffet lines with chicken, pizza and the like, and then a soda dispenser. (the one that pours soda into cups) and then theres a little room of the store cut off to the side with tables and chairs.

Cool stuff. Unfortunately, County Market/Cub Foods already has this, and yes I do go every one in awhile.

Still costs allot of money.

No, in the buffets here in County Market/Cub Foods stores here in the US, there is no entry fee, but you have to pay for your dishes. Not every single food you have on your plate, but main dish, side dish, dessert,ect.

Also, you spelled a lot wrong.

what? Supermarket buffet, yet u cant take anything. So that cancels out the supermarket aspect- cant get groceries, and buffet- thats already in existence for 280 bucks less than the price u want

[Wartooth118]

Hmm...that might work if you have to pay per plate. Like instead of there being a huge stack of plates you'd have to "rent" a plate. Maybe have a timer in the plate itself that would go off when time was up. Then you could pay an extra $10 for another hour, then $15, then $20, etc.

Yeah...

Where I live, they have supermarket buffets inside the grocery store. Meaning the buffet is INSIDE THE STORE. You can still stroll the aisles and pick up groceries, and buy things from the buffet and take them home like groceries.

YAAY!
