Sampling Design

The researchers will apply the probability sampling method using random sampling.

First, the researchers will get the Securities and Exchange Commissions list of

registered ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT buffet restaurants. Using a random table, 5

respondents will be chosen. The researchers will also use judgment under non-probability sampling. In this method, the researchers or some other "expert" uses

his/her judgement in selecting the units from the population for study based on the

populations parameters.

Gathering of Data

Before conducting the interview, the researchers will prepare and formulate an interview

guide or questionnaire which will be based on the theoretical background. The questionnaires will

be given to the persons to be interviewed only on the day of the interview to make sure that answers

given by them are correct and true. All the interviews will be conducted personally. In conducting

the research, the background of the researchers as well as the purpose of the study will be disclosed

and also the aspects of anonymity and confidentiality will early be covered. As supplementary

information, the researchers will use books, publications, websites, and other sources whenever it is

needed to do so.
