> the restaurant still charged them for the full price of the plate
At all-you-can-eat buffets, customers are charged a flat rate, not per plate.
Obviously this breaks down if people are taking plates of food and chucking them in the trash.

Eg, if yellow plates are $1, blue plates are $2, and orange plates are $3, and you pulled two orange plates, a blue plate and a yellow plate, your total would come out to $9 even if you didn't clear your plates.
Yes, flat-rate sushi conveys exist.
OP clarified, and I thanked them for clarifying and acknowledged I was wrong. I've further mentioned as much in additional comments[1, 2, 3], and I've edited my original post to clear things up. Care to continue being snarky despite my attempts to correct myself?

And are, by and large, less common than per-plate joints, hence the confusion.

That a conveyor belt is involved doesn’t change the offer.
And if I am a part of this comment chain, and I am confused (admittedly so, I should remind you), is there not confusion in the comment chain? :)
Boy, you should probably step outside and touch some grass or, I dunno, maybe let stuff like this bother you a bit less. Yikes.
Edit: And no, contary to your suggestion, I'm pretty comfortable not deleting my comments - I don't mind publicly making a mistake and then owning it. Thanks for the thought, though! :)
The entire world is not just Japan or the USA, please be respectful of this.
But most all-you-can-eat sushi places use a conveyor belt.
Basically 100% a buffet except the table moves to you (which, to the point of the original article, waiting for your preferred sushi to come around probably slows down consumption and improves the economics)
Obviously if people want to buy food and waste it that's on them. But this was a pretty clear abuse of the restaurant's business model as well.
