I'd have a problem with that, if there wasn't clear guidelines. I mean, what if the food is more filling that someone thought, or if it just didn't taste good?

The one I went to it's around $20 a head plus $1something for all unfinished dishes. It is common at AYCE sushi places, in Canada as well.

I used to go to one that charged $1 for each piece of rice left to discourage patrons from turning it into an AYCE sashimi experience...which is both wasteful and much more expensive for the restaurant.

That's an interesting question about things you don't like. But I could see a 'gag me with a spoon' clause being abused as the default excuse for anything left over. It's too bad about buffets and taking food home. I can see why they don't allow it, but it seems like the cause of a fair amount of waste.
