The case of a gir.l eating at a buffet and tasting 'unhygienic' dessert: Poseidon representative speaks out in shoc.k!

Despite the concerned looks from those around her, the woman still calmly put her mouth to taste the dessert at the communal dining counter. The images were shared on a Fanpage with 3.2 million followers, immediately attracting the attention of netizens.

People also immediately found a clip recording that moment. At the dessert counter with sweet soup, cakes and fruits, a woman calmly lifted a spoon to scoop sweet soup to her mouth to taste. The image was recorded, along with the scrutinizing eyes of people around.

Immediately, people were outraged by this woman’s actions. It was obvious that the ladle was shared, and she was eating at a buffet restaurant. An unacceptable action, even unhygienic, affecting everyone else dining at the restaurant.

Some netizens left comments: "I'm telling the truth, my family is older than her, but they're not that impolite when they eat out", "Why doesn't anyone tell them directly, so they can stop this bad behavior", "Holding the bowl up to catch the spills, it seems polite but then sticking their mouth straight into the ladle", "That's right, I hat.e this style the most. When eating buffet, there was a lady who kept taking the spoon (ladle/spoon) from the sauce bowls, scooping a piece from each bowl to try, it's so rud.e, it's unbearable", "When you go to places like this, you have some mone.y, but you lose all your sense", "Try to see if it's delicious before scooping, so scary", "You already have a small bowl, can't you scoop into it and then slurp. The ladle is shared but you use it like it's something at home, do you have any sense to keep it at home to make it lighter", "It reminds me of licking milk tea, although I like to eat green rice, I think I dare not drink again.

In addition to the objections to the customer's behavior, many people believe that it is necessary to improve the culture of behavior when eating at buffets because similar cases have happened quite a lot. "Maybe this is the habit of customers to taste the food before eating. However, when eating shared food, everyone must have the same awareness of maintaining hygiene for others," said an account named Phuong Le.

In addition, many people questioned where the restaurant staff were when this incident happened. According to the investigation, the incident happened at a branch of Buffet Poseidon. This is a very famous seafood ho.t pot buffet chain with many branches in big cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Nha Trang.

Speaking to reporters, a representative of Poseidon’s Binh Thanh District branch (HCMC) confirmed that the incident occurred at this facility on March 10. The representative said that at the line counters (counters with food available for customers to choose from), there are restaurant staff on duty to serve and support customers.

However, when reporters asked about how buffet establishments ensure general hygiene and safety procedures, the representative said they would respond later. Regarding buffet culture, there have been previous incidents involving diners' behavior, causing public backlash.

Buffet is a type of self-service dining. After purchasing a set meal, customers can eat and take unlimited food. However, many restaurants also have some rules and notices for customers to follow.

Accordingly, each buffet restaurant will be divided into many lines of counters serving seafood, meat and protein dishes, counters with liquid foods such as vermicelli, noodles, pho, and dessert counters.

Dishes for sharing will have tongs or spoons to avoid unhygienic conditions. When taking food, diners will take just enough to eat without choosing too much. If customers do not finish eating and waste food, many restaurants now charge a fee. Currently, the incident is making people extremely upset.
