On the afternoon of the 7th, a male customer went to a buffet restaurant on Zhengqi Road, Taitung City to buy a lunch box. During the process, he picked up a box full of dishes. Unexpectedly, while waiting for the checkout, he seemed to be too hungry and actually ate while waiting in line. He got up, and when it was finally his turn to pay, he had already eaten nearly 40 yuan worth of food. The boss later said that the other party was a regular customer and he probably waited too long and started eating the lunch first when he was hungry. He would not care about it or ask for anything. But the lawyer reminded that such behavior actually constitutes the crime of theft.

Lawyer Li Yusheng said: "Using this illegal method to steal food belonging to the store will constitute the crime of theft under the criminal law, and the store will also be liable for compensation for the damage suffered." The buffet restaurant owner said: "Some customers ask when they see it, should they pursue him? Actually, I don't think so. He is still a good spokesperson. If he comes next time, I may have a more favorable price for him."
