30th August 2025 - (Yulin) A woman in Shaanxi recently caused a stir at a hotel after enjoying a buffet breakfast. Advised by staff against taking food away, she proceeded to crush over 20 cooked eggs one by one in front of her young daughter before storming out. Video footage of the incident surfaced online, raising concerns among netizens about the negative example set for the woman's child.
According to local media reports on Friday (29th), it is a common rule in buffet settings that food is not allowed to be taken away to prevent excessive taking that might affect other diners. However, in this case, the woman was seen taking more than 20 cooked eggs at once and attempted to pack them to go, but was refused by hotel staff. In response, she vented her frustration by destroying the eggs. Her daughter, seated nearby, witnessed her mother's actions, drawing the attention of other diners.
Some netizens suggest that the woman should compensate as per the price of the eggs. Others are calling for the establishment of a "blacklist" within the hotel industry to reject uncivilised behaviour.
