Restaurant Tells Diners To Eat Everything On Their Plate 126
Chef Yukako Ichikawa will offer a 30% discount to patrons who eat all the food they have ordered, and will kindly ask those who don't clean their plates to not come back. "Finishing your meal requires that everything is eaten except lemon slices, gari (sushi ginger), and wasabi," says the menu. "Please also note that vegetables and salad on the side are NOT decorations; they are part of the meal too."

Why would I WANT to come back to a place where I'm treated like an asshole, just because I'm full?
If they think they are better off without customers, then good luck...
