“Like spam? Get all you want. We’re not going to put any artificial limits on the amount of spam you’re allowed, like some other services.” Says Hometown buffet general manager Dennis Scott.
When questioned why the famous restaurant chain felt that it had to compete with Google in an entirely new market area, Mr. Scott responded: “We are the thoughtspace leaders in ‘all-you-can- whatever’, and we don’t want to limit the power of this idea to just food. Basically, we’re going to lead in any consumable item that is cheap enough for us to provide on an unlimited basis for a fair price. We’re looking at all-you-can-breath home oxygen services for the disabled, all-you- can-drink water filtration units, an all-you-can-browse internet service, and all-you-can-be military boot camps.
