You only have to look at how badly self-serve has worked in shops.

Oh wait, it hasn't...

If someone is just below clinically depressed, but won't help themselves, and will not accept help from anyone else, and gets extremely angry if you suggest they do anything for themselves, how in the hell can you help them? Really frustrating, this person is a danger to themselves, and does not talk anything but jibberish, and they are a huge part of my life, however no doctors or whom ever will diagnose him with anything, but he obviously has problems far worse than anyone should.

Best thing you can do is try to be their friend. Give them time and try to help solve some of the lesser problems they have.
It's pretty hard to be depressed when there is someone who is trying to help, passively and generously.
Show genuine interest and just, pal up if you can.
It's so hard because miserable people are bad company, just man up and ignore the bullshit.

About all you can do man.

this^

hopefully all will come right eventually.

Do explain? I would think self serve cuts the margins down on number of staff needed to be employed, and speeds up orders in busy times.

What customers do is that they will load up on far more they can eat, thus it's a waste of food. Due to the increase, it'll actually cause the chefs to have to cook more.
Also it introduces cross contamination of food as some people are utter fail coordination and logic wise and will spill parts of some dishes onto other dishes via the utensils and use say, the same utensils across multiple dishes. Not only does it create a mess, making the food much less appetising, it's also unhygienic. If the pricing system is a set price, it disadvantages people who only want a little. If the price system is on a per weight basis, it disadvantages those who 'pick wrong' like loading up on the sweet and sour pork and grabbing more of the sauce than the actual meat and the human nature of seeing the words 'self serve' and loading up on as much as they can thus paying for wasted food.

Serve service is fine with say smaller, individual items like deep fried items that you cannot cross contaminate with other dishes.
Also remember of course that malls, particularly in a food court setting, carry a large premium rent wise. I'm sure I've missed out other points that haven't came up at the top of my head.

but no, having been in the food industry in this town all my life and my family knowing the market and having business connections...
Knowing people in Colliers International goes a long way in this town (cuz they basically literally own a good chunk of it).

Self serve is win. Get large plate and layer with rice then big pile of spicy noodles on top with a few bits of sweet and pour pork on top

[Pyromanik]

I missed you CK.

I'm curious. If I had diabetes, and had to have my leg cut off. Could I legally take the leg home and eat it? I can understand of the 'biohazard' and disposal of the leg, but what if I could get the bone taken out at the doctors and take home the skin/meat? Could I legally do it? It's my fucking leg.

[Goldo]

The leg (well, the foot really.) would be infected with gangrene. I'm pretty sure you don't lose your whole leg, just the infected area? You could always cut the rest of the leg off at home, then chuck it in the freezer?

[kilabee]

Why wait for diabetes if you're interested in eating yourself.

[Kayne]

Apparently we taste like pork, + your long life on computer will have made your legs all soft, squishy, and tender.

sounds good.

Just as long as it's your leg.

Someone else's leg is a different matter.

Ask Benzene.
