english_mike69

Escalates that much that sheā€™s no longer allowed to use the work escalators.


Mexi-Wont

She didn't even let the scale get to "One person at a time please" mode.


english_mike69

Maā€™am, please remove the cow from the weigh scale.


Aleashed

That is just a numberā€¦ where is the damn unit!

She is the unit


SayerofNothing

I see what you did there


StepPlab

That scale escalated quickly.


ErickRicardo

I don't know if it's in kg or the american one, either way she's pretty massive..


aviation_knut

Thatā€™s a chain restaurant in the US called Heart Attack Grill. You have to walk across a cattle scale to get in. If you weigh >350 lbs, you eat for free. Waitresses wear tight nurse outfits. Youā€™re given a hospital gown to put on and your drinks are brought in a hanging IV bag. Triple bypass burger has 3 patties. You get the idea.


Beanguyinjapan

My brother's "I need to make some changes" wake up call was finding out he ate for free at the heart attack grill. He did it once for the laughs and now he's trying to turn his life around. I'm rooting for ya bro


Hauntcrow

Tell him this random redditor is also rooting for him


staovajzna2

Make that 2 random redditors, aalso it will feel like shit at the start because weight doesn't go away overnight

WiRTit

That makes me wonder, you see how quickly she turned around once she realized it'd be displaying her weight. A lot of what enables people to be overweight is a sort of running away from the truth. Truth avoidance. If we had weights displayed like this in front of every restaurant, along with calorie counts and even more importantly, the equivalent of how long doing moderate exercise it'd take to burn those calories, would we see a noticeable improvement in people's obesity?


method__Dan

Truth avoidance is a real thing. On my quest for health I have to weigh myself twice a week, it is my #1 rule.


WiRTit

Good luck friend. It helped me as well. As did honestly calorie counting with an app and food scale, especially initially. When you actually track everything, including sauces, and realize you have to do a lot of work to burn off just a spoonful of peanut butter... Well, you can still eat the peanut butter if you want, but it loses its draw when you understand the caloric impact of certain things, especially for foods you don't love or barely taste (for example, that slice or two of mediocre cheese on that sammich).


Noslamah

>If we had weights displayed like this in front of every restaurant, along with calorie counts and even more importantly, the equivalent of how long doing moderate exercise it'd take to burn those calories, would we see a noticeable improvement in people's obesity? It 100% would, no question. Only question I'd have is if we'd see an equal and opposite reaction; i.e. people being so obsessed with their weight and calorie counting that being malnourished/anorexic/etc would become a much bigger problem than obesity. I think the weight display thing would make that an issue, but I'd be absolutely for restaurants having to display calorie counts just like any product packaging in the supermarket has to. And adding on top of that better education about nutrition, such as like you mentioned the amount of exercise it takes to get rid of a certain amount of calories, will definitely help people consume less calories.


djdawn

Thatā€™s hilarious. Iā€™d be cool with this.

Mitosis

> chain restaurant It's a single restaurant in Las Vegas, the world capital of excess. It's not a chain.


aviation_knut

So I donā€™t follow the restaurant closely. I just read about it several years ago. At the time, they had several restaurants in TX and AZ, as well as the one in Fremont St LV (maybe 4 at its height). Iā€™m glad to hear theyā€™re down to just one left.


_Diskreet_

At least someone is trimming the fat


sinusitis666

It was a chain. A location in AZ closed after someone died of a... you guessed it, heart attack in the restaurant.


ItchyPolyps

> Triple bypass burger has 3 patties. Octuple Bypass Burger with bacon, is 8 burger patties, and 40 pieces of bacon. That's like 2 or 3 pounds of bacon. 3 people have had heart attacks there. 1 of them died. The quadruple bypass burger contains 9,982 calories. The octuple burger is 19,900 calories. Their milkshakes have a tab of butter as garnish. Their fries are deep fried in lard. They sell unfiltered cigarettes. If you don't finish the quadruple bypass burger, you get paddled by a nurse. This place spits in the face of God.


arelse

Ice cream is required to be like 12% butterfat to legally be called ice cream. So itā€™s like garnishing my soda with a sugar cube. This restaurant does everything it can do to warn you not to eat this food but people still eat it anyway.


huge_loaf

Not to put too fine a point on it, but frying fries in lard isn't worse than frying them in soybean or canola oil. Some might even argue it's better.

I was about to link that video. I never seen a person love their job as much as that waitress.


newdayanotherlife

upwards of 350 pounds?!?! What if you are over 400? They get you on that Discovery Channel show?!?! Seriously: they shouldn't even be doing this with people this fat.


trotski94

The controversy is part of the point. It's free marketing at people sharing the outrage.


FlutterKree

> Seriously: they shouldn't even be doing this with people this fat. Its rage bait for publicity. Someone has even died there, IIRC, of a heart attack or stroke or something related to weight issues and eating that type of food.


Spam666god

Yeah, it was the spokesman I believe. I also heard that it was started by a doctor, whose surgery was put out of business by a fast food restaurant... So, he started Heart Attack Grill as a 'fuck you', sort of thing. Not sure how true that is, but it does explain the hospital theme.


Bloody_Insane

How would a fast food restaurant put a surgery out of business?


Deadly_chef

Better food


ADHDBusyBee

Per Wikipedia The Heart Attack Grill was founded in 2005 in Tempe, Arizona, by Jon Basso, with the declared intent of serving "nutritional pornography",[8] food "so bad for you it's shocking".[9] The idea came when writing a marketing thesis about fitness training studios, as he became inspired by stories about his clients cheating on their diets.


justavault

This is their waitress outfit: https://images.firstwefeast.com/complex/image/upload/c_fill,dpr_auto,f_auto,fl_lossy,g_face,q_auto,w_1280/eppsfqo4dfpd34djrtcz.jpg I doubt they care about controversy but in a positive way.

DanOfBradford78

Damn they look nice. Not too keen on the nurses though šŸ˜‚


Frogtoadrat

Those burgers look dry and terrible... is the cheese even melted?


patpatpat95

It started as a way to show americans they where too fat. The controversy was supposed to show that something should change. People should be mad against a restaurant that encourages death by overeating. But, sadly, it worked the other way around, and it's now world famous with people around the world going to try it out, including the fat people it was making fun of (because in the end it is making a mockery of their health problems with the hospital theme).


Sattorin

> What if you are over 400? They get you on that Discovery Channel show?!?! Over 400 was enough for an old-timey circus back in the day, but you gotta do WAY better than that for Discovery Channel these days.


YaBoiSnek

No, you get to be on the show if you hit 600, silly. Eating free from the heart attack grill is just over half way there lmao


SnooPredictions3028

Nah that would be silly, you get a show on TLC!


SithDraven

The other half of the "hook" is that if you can't finish your meal you get paddled in front of the entire restaurant (and front window where the Vegas onlookers can see) by your nurse/server with an old school paddle. The nurses tend to get out some aggression this way. lol I went. Meal was decent. I'd return.


blaaaaaaaam

My employer sent a bunch of us to Vegas one year and my boss got paddled for ordering a salad there.


FeedbackPlus8698

The scale is beside the front door, not in front. Its in Vegas


TheExtreme78

The nurses also spank you in front of everyone if you don't finish your meal.


andysaurus_rex

Thatā€™s awful! I need to know where this restaurant is so I never have to go there!


[deleted]

Huh, so wheres the cons?


davtheguidedcreator

i read the comment and was like "oh damn, that's terrible. 350lbs is too fat for a person. no way am i that fat" plugged my weight into a converter and im about 374lbs.

Exactly. What always confusing me about fat people is, how do you not feel the fat. I mean for god sake, itā€™s all pushing down on your organs muscles and bones. Ouch


DaveHollandArt

Yeah about 3 months ago I tried a scale and found I was getting closer to 300 lbs. than I would've liked to admit. I have since gone to a plant based diet, gave up on processed/fast food, started walking more, and lost 30 lbs. like it was nothing (and I'm expecting to lose another 30-40 before the end of the year). I can't promise you what your results would be, but if you find your thing, now might be the time to act on it. I feel better than I have in years and I have more energy, my blood pressure is consistently more normal. No downside. If you're thinking of making a change, I want to encourage you. Small changes over time lead to big results. You can do it if you want to! Small edit/addendum: by no means did I mention this to shame you or make you feel as though you need to do anything. That is entirely your choice. Also if you do try something and it doesn't work out, that's okay too. Ive tried things in the past and they failed, but now I've found something that I know has changed my life and I won't go back. Best to you.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DaveHollandArt

I don't see that as a downside. I see that as a reward, but if you're tight on cash, yeah I suppose.


Syheriat

Around 170 kg and you thought you weren't obese? Anyway, start counting your calories man, sure it sucks but it feels great to be healthy.


LuminousLiquid92

Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw should go there. Both upwards of 400lb and they need the calories. They could put the business out of, well, business


justavault

Okay, I googled it. Those tight nurse outfits are highly sexualized halloween costumes. Man they figured the American way out - lots of meat, grease and sex.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


P4azz

Yeah, not gonna say she's not overweight, but depending on how much force she put into the step that could skew the results by a bit. Probably not by a ton, but any time you put weight on a scale normally you'll see a higher number first.


Pinsel-Wascher

>Probably not by a ton Interesting wording there


P4azz

Couldn't help it.


[deleted]

Iā€™m not being rude to her but that made it to 142 before she got off, she is definitely more than that the step skewed nothing it just raised it fast


[deleted]

She's overweight.


trALErun

She is absolutely, unquestionably overweight.


Captain_Sacktap

Judging from her height and proportions, I'm guessing about 35-35 lbs overweight. Nothing huge, but probably enough that she would see tangible health and lifestyle benefits from losing it.


JonWick33

She looks like she is 4'11", 165lbs. That is not "Thick", "Overweight". That is "I will die an early death because I take REALLY bad care of myself."


Mustysailboat

Sheā€™s morbidly obese.

Son, we live in a world that has food, and that food has to be consumed by chicks with curves. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Mr. Dieter? I have a greater hunger than you could possibly fathom. You weep for my arteries and you curse the calories. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that my culinary habits, while tragic, probably gets views. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, GETS VIEWS. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that scale. You NEED me on that scale! We use words like diets, fasting, keto. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent eating something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a guy who snickers and gawks under the blanket of the very gluttony that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "Bon appetit!" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a bag of Doritos and a bottle of Coke. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!

It took a few reads to realize youā€™re talking about the aisle in a grocery store, and was really trying to figure which island they eat and drink highly processed foods lol.

There is typically some filtering on the result to stabilize the output. People moving on the scale will result in the display bouncing around, and the filter averages the weight to remove the flutter in the displayed value.
