all-you-can-eat

350-pound customer says he was reeled into 'all-you-can-eat' fish fry and is now PICKETING restaurant for 'false advertising'

One angry (and hungry) man is picketing a family-run restaurant for what he calls false advertising.

Bill Wisth, who weight 350lbs and stands at a towering 6ft6in, went to the Thiensville, Wisconsin restaurant last Friday for their all-you-can-eat fish fry.

However, he said that after 12 pieces, Chuck’s Place cut him off.

The restaurant staff said they were running out of fish, but sent Mr Wisth on his way with eight more pieces.

He told Today’s TMJ 4: ‘We asked for more fish and they refused to give us any more fish.’
But he was not to be swayed.

Instead, Mr Wisth called the police. He told TMJ 4 that people ‘have to stand up for consumers.’

Two days later, Mr Wisth returned to Chuck’s Place, but this time he also brought a picket sign which read: ‘False advertising.’

The owner of Chuck’s Place, who requested not to be named, told WISN that Mr Wisth was not following the rules of the deal, and was sharing his food with a friend.

They said that the fish they offered him as an apologetic gesture for the inconvenience was more expensive than the fish he had been eating.

A waitress said they were either serving perch or cod Friday night.

However, Mr Wisth refused to pay the bill, and plans to protest the business every Sunday until they fix what he claims are bad business practices.

Server Elizabeth Roeming told WISN that his protesting will actually help Chuck’s.

‘You might want to stop,’ she told Mr Wisth, ‘because everyone loves us.’

She said that Mr Wisth had an outstanding tab that he hadn’t paid off, and it was really rich for him to picket a restaurant that allowed him to eat on credit.

According to TMJ 4, he still hasn’t paid off his bill.
