Picky eaters left a sushi chef heartbroken, after they helped themselves to sushi samples, and then put their half-eaten sushi pieces back on the tray. The incident happened at a Japanese food festival at a shopping center in Taoyuan. The sushi vendor was so distraught by what he saw, that he shared the story online. Netizens could not believe the entitlement, and condemned the inconsiderate freeloaders.

A shopping center in Taoyuan is celebrating Japanese cuisine with more than 30 brands and about a dozen chefs cooking up fresh food. Surely nobody would spoil the party, right?

A participating shop serving up free torched beef sushi samples was assailed by a picky diner who did not seem to like rice.
Chef
Beef sushi stand
Just think of all the people who have nothing to eat. But this customer just placed all of the rice back. So unhygienic! He didn’t bother to put it to the side. He just put it back on the sample tray! It’s unsanitary and such a waste.
Let’s check the facts. This is what the sample tray looked like, with one dish containing just rice and no beef. The stand operator posted the photo online, saying “My heart was truly broken seeing the tray looking like this… Someone ate the torched beef on top. If it hadn’t been for another customer who pointed it out to us... Not in our wildest dreams would we have imagined something like this would happen.” The rice, made with love, was discarded without a second thought, leaving the inconsolable vendor lost for words. Sadly, it didn’t just happen once.

Sushi shop operator
We were very worried about hygiene. After all, it’s the leftovers someone ate. We don’t know if they are sick, or if they have something you could catch. Several people did the same thing.

Would eat whole thing
I would eat the whole thing. If not, then don’t take it. Don’t waste food.
Member of public
Would confront perpetrator
Who would even eat the leftovers when someone already ate half of it? I would’ve called them out. So inconsiderate!
People at the event were indignant at the incident. But the sushi vendor has come up with a solution so that only those who truly treasure food can get a bite. Until Aug. 19, the beef sushi samples will still be free, but they won’t be put on a platter for anyone to grab and go. Instead, staff will hand them out one by one so food wasters back off.
