Restaurant in China apologizes after asking customers to weigh themselves before ordering

A restaurant in central China has apologized for asking customers to weigh themselves ahead of placing their orders following the introduction of a national campaign against food waste.

The beef restaurant in the city of Changsha placed two scales outside its doors and signs that read "be thrifty and diligent, promote empty plates" and "operation empty plate," the BBC reported.

It also asked customers to enter their measurements into an app, which would recommend dishes accordingly, the report said. But social media users criticized the restaurant, with hashtags related to the incident viewed over 300 million times on the social platform Weibo, Agence France-Presse reported.
The nationwide campaign began last week after President Xi Jinping decried the amount of food waste in the country as "shocking and distressing" amid rising food prices due to the coronavirus pandemic and recent flooding, the outlets reported.
Catering groups in regions across the country urged groups of customers to order one fewer plate than the number of diners to curb waste.
The backlash prompted the restaurant to apologize in a statement online, saying it was "deeply sorry.”


"Our original intentions were to advocate stopping waste and ordering food in a healthy way,” the statement said. “We never forced customers to weigh themselves.”

Since the beginning of August, there have been reports of grains and milk powder shortage in some urban supermarkets, likely due to citizens hoarding.

Typical totalitarian shithole: when the Supreme Leader mentions something (Winnie recently advised against food wastage), all the govt minions and the porlumpars make their response expressing support.

Sounds familiar?

P.S: There is a chance famine will hit China. If that happens, expect the PAP govt and various imbeciles to send 'humanitarian aid' again. Getting scammed by the Sichuan earthquake and Wuhan pandemic not enough, must go for a hat trick of gullibility.

Bad news under-report, given a positive spin or don't report at all.

Good news exaggerate, prolonged media coverage, published everywhere.

Still we are worse. We can read everything on the net but cannot act on a single point of conscience.
Credit score? Have you not heard "you die your own biz"
No need for credit scores.

the social score system in China is one where they watch you. everything you do. for example if you smoke too many cigarettes or have too many drinks in a pub, write something on the internet, your social credit score will go down, and this affects you ability to function. they may restrict your travel, deny you employment or your kids wont get into a certain school.

I am sure eventually the PAP will take a look at such a system here.

it would not be hard for the PAP to implement such a scheme in Singapore. however we must retain some semblance of fairness in society.

to you second point, yes i agree the issue at hand now is the growing influence and takeover of china over singapore. things today wont be the same in 10 years. which is why i am now giving serious thought to emigrating out. its just enough. 2 more elections here wont change much
