Wow if only there was a way to like I dunno, limit the amount by weight or volume or something instead of just ending salad bars entirely due to that pesky self-imposed one bowl rule.
They only ended self service salad bars.
What other kind of salad bar is there? I’d just call that a salad off the menu.
One where someone is there to check weight/etc as you suggested.

I’d still call that self service, just putting something there to discourage the behavior.

I’m thinking of this more like going to a self-serve frozen yogurt place. I know at the end it’s by weight so I always get a more reasonable amount of soft serve and skip most of the overpriced toppings. If it was whatever I could fit in the cup, holy crap I’d be getting a small size cup and loading it up with as much as I could managed to.
