Pizza Hut is to remove all self-service salad carts from its 440 restaurants in China. Up to now, customers were permitted just one trip to the salad cart, but these restrictions have led to ingenious Scooby snack-style stacking of CCTV Tower proportions. The chain, the first to introduce pizza to China in 1990 and pizza delivery in 2001, claims that the move is part of a general menu expansion, but it's surely down to salad cart abuse.
They’ll be stopping it for the same reason most Pizza Huts in the US stopped doing it - profit.
We have unlimited salad included as part of the price of the meal in the UK. I’ve never gone back for seconds because I’m there for pizza.
When I was a student, they had a one bowl rule and students did try to cram in as much as they could by building towers like in the article (but nowhere near as impressive).
It’s like if you put a restriction on it then people will try to bend the rules to get more but if it’s unlimited then there’s no challenge.
Or it could be that students wanted to eat as much as possible for their money.

Supermarkets exploit that behaviour by displaying per-person limits on merchandise. E.g. “limit 5 per person”.
It works.
