'9900 won bread buffet' go and tuck it into your bag... Food that is just tasted and discarded 'abundant'

It has been revealed that a large amount of bread is wasted at a popular bread buffet that attracts so much attention that it needs to open early at 6:30 a.m. It is believed that many consumers only eat part of the bread or do not eat it at all because there is no environmental surcharge for leftover food.

According to industry reports on the 13th, Tous Les Jours is operating a bread buffet called 'Green Plate' as part of an opening event for its directly managed stores in Gangnam and Apgujeong, which have been rebranded as 'TLJ.' For 9,900 won, customers can enjoy unlimited bread from Tous Les Jours and a drink for one hour. The Gangnam store accepts the first 90 customers on a first-come, first-served basis from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. every weekend, while the Apgujeong store limits to the first 50 customers from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., regardless of whether it's a weekday or weekend.

TLJ Bread Buffet has gained popularity for its "cost-effectiveness" image, and videos of people experiencing it firsthand have been steadily uploaded to YouTube. A couple running the "Eternal Best Friends" channel visited the TLJ Gangnam direct store at 6:30 a.m. on the 5th. After receiving a first-come, first-served waiting ticket, they were instructed to return by 9:50 a.m. and then enjoyed the bread buffet.

However, they reported witnessing customers putting bread into their bags at the end of the video. The couple pointed out the flaw in the bread buffet, saying, "There was a Jean Valjean. It's not like taking leftovers from eating, he just wrapped a fresh loaf in a napkin and slipped it into his bag."
