Every time I go, I never tend to see the bougie rich or upper middle class crowd there

Honestly, it kind of surprised me because the phone is pretty good for a reasonable price there and I would assume that would appeal to the richer crowd too

The Golden Corral near me has parking lot brawls constantly

It's like you're going to the Thunderdome for some shitty pasta that somebody else probably sneezed on

Because it's trash. The kind that the people who think that McDonald's is on the cusp of being fancy think is fancy.

I feel like all you can eat restaurants are usually targeting the food insecure. Seems like a good deal, and you're certain you can eat your money's worth. But on average people don't.

why would you assume that richer people would be looking for food on a budget?

Because it still saves richer people from spending more than they have to? Especially if the food is still good

Golden Corral is for old retired folks on a fixed income who have poor understanding of food safety. Seriously, so many cases of cross-contamination, salmonella, undercooked meat, or poor hygiene.

If it was this bad, the company would have been shut down plenty of times by now. If this truly is the case, you'd be dumb not to eat there because you most likely will still survive and end up with a fat cash settlement.

Kinda the same for me except it's a bar that doubles as a pizza joint. Their pizza is amazing.

I don't believe this because if this was the case, Golden corral would not still be in business

Ours was shut down when it tried to serve lunch with dinner prices after the historical flood here in South Carolina years back.

It was already abandoned by the time COVID-19 came along.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Corral#Controversies

Similar issues for Chipotle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipotle_Mexican_Grill#Food_safety

Basically, there's constant food safety issues at these restaurants because of their policies. They're still in business because damages are typically capped and not high enough to shut them down.
Food buffets, in general, often have food safety issues. Google your "<your city> food inspections". Generally you'll see things like:
  • Raw animal foods not properly separated from each other in holding unit based upon minimum required cooking temperature. Observed raw beef stored over raw shrimp in the reach in cooler in the kitchen. Operator properly stored the raw food products. **Corrected On-Site** **Warning**
  • Rodent activity present as evidenced by rodent droppings found. Observed approximately 15 rodent droppings in kitchen near the handwashing sink. **Warning**
  • Shell eggs not stored at an ambient air temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Observed raw shell eggs cold holding at 59F on prep table for less than 1 hour. Operator stored the eggs in the walk in cooler. **Corrective Action Taken** **Warning**
  • Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine/bin. Observed black like substance in ice bin.
  • Raw fruits/vegetables not washed prior to preparation. Employee cut lettuce before washing. Employee washed the cut and uncut lettuce.
Those sound basic, but cross-contamination, improper temperature holding, and improper hand washing are how almost all cases of foodborne illness occur. And it generally takes multiple violations and small (~$500) fines to occur, again and again, before food inspectors will actually shut you down.

I despise that place. The last time I went there I ended up so sick I felt like I had gas pains and needed vomit and have diarrhea all at the same time. Fuck that place. I'd rather pay more money for one meal of higher quality than go to a trash buffet.
