I've got an idea for a restaurant

 It'll serve food. And the whole gimmick is that we say "We can eat as much or little as you want!"

And all the portions will be regular portions. It's a regular restaurant in every way. But all the marketing is about how much choice you have.

"You can eat the whole plateaor just eat a couple bites!"

"If your first order isn't filling enough you can order more food and we'll give it you!"

"Heck, you can eat none of your first order and we'll still make you a second order."

We just really want people to appreciate how much freedom they have at this restaurant. We don't make you eat food you don't want to eat that you pay for. 

And we also don't tell you what order to eat it in. Guess what! You can drink as much or as little of your drink as you want too!

Your choices matter. And we will do everything to not get in the way of those choices.

What do you say to the quiet and polite gentleman in a big trenchcoat, sunglasses, and hat who always requests that he sit in the remotest corner booth of the restaurant and who always dines alone and orders just one single entree but the biggest one you have and two waters up front and he eats 100 percent of the entree and drinks both waters exactly. But after that, before he pays his check and leaves, he always takes a single bite out of something that wasn't intended to be food. Maybe one day it's the fork. The handle of the fork has a chunk missing by the end. Nobody sees him do it. Another day, there's a bite taken out of one of the plastic water cups after all the water was drank. Oh he ate the ice too, always eats the ice. While there is still some water left. He fishes the ice out mid meal. Then another day there's a bite mark in his plate after he's cleaned it off. Whenever anyone asks him about it, he smiles sheepishly and, seemingly embarrassed, says 'oops, I got a bit carried away...'

How would that guy do at your restaurant??
