澳大利亞悉尼郊區(qū)的一家日式餐廳wafu對他們的顧客提出了可能令人覺得無法接受，顯得特別‘苛刻’的要求，那就是所有用餐顧客必須吃完自己點(diǎn)的菜，包括所有的蔬菜，除了檸檬片、壽司姜片以及芥末以外，所有盤子上面的食物必須被一掃而光。店家振振有詞地強(qiáng)調(diào)這是為了堅持不浪費(fèi)食物，將他們所倡導(dǎo)的有關(guān)維持發(fā)展環(huán)保的社會理念付諸于行動——因為wafu不僅僅是一家餐廳，它是店家兼大廚yukako個人堅持生活理念的一種延伸表現(xiàn)方式。所有吃完自己所點(diǎn)的菜的顧客將得到30%打折優(yōu)惠，而不能遵守餐廳規(guī)則的顧客則被告知下次將謝絕他們光顧。


你們對此新聞有何看法？一家開門做生意的餐廳能像要求家里客人一樣要求顧客遵守自己的規(guī)則嗎？


a japanese-cuisine restaurant named 'wafu' in the suburbs of sydney, australia has made a seemingly daunting and overly harsh demand of their customers ╟ requiring that those dining at their restaurant must finish all of the food they order.  finishing everything on their plate means eating all of the vegetables as well ╟ except for lemon slice, sushi ginger, and wasabi.  owner of the restaurant has professed convincingly that this is for the sake of eliminating food waste, and is an act on their beliefs for a sustainable and environmentally responsible society and future ╟ because wafu is not just a restaurant, it is an extension of owner and chef yukako's personal lifestyle and attitude.  those guests that finish everything on their plate will be given 30% off on their meal, and those that could not abide by the restaurant rules will be told that they'd better find somewhere else to dine next time.


what do you make of this odd news?  a restaurant that is open to everyone for business, should it be able to make demands on customers as they would on their personally invited guests to their homes?
