THIS is how you’re being tricked by all-you-can-eat buffets!

Higher prices
These buffet restaurants are super sneaky and make you think you can eat a lot for little money. You think you’ve gotten a good deal, but in reality, you’re being fooled pretty badly by these buffets. Cornell University did a study in which two groups of people had to visit all-you-can-eat buffets, but they had to pay different prices. The research showed that people who had to pay a higher price also gave a higher rating to the food.

Satisfaction
People who had to pay less for the same food were less satisfied and gave the food a lower rating. By upping the prices, restaurants can make you believe their food is really good. Plus, restaurants discourage you from eating a lot by only serving small portions. Research shows that we’ll take less food if we’re offered less… Perhaps just go for à la carte next time?
