A woman was caught on camera dumping her leftover food into the pot of neighbouring customers at a self-serve restaurant in central China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Wuhan City in Hubei Province on August 2.

The woman's audacious behaviour, followed by continuous laughter, prompted the restaurant's management to review the surveillance footage, apologise to the two affected customers, and waive their bill.

The affected customer's cousin, Ms Liu, spoke out about the incident, expressing her concern over the woman's mental state and potential diseases. She described the act as "terrifying," stating that no normal person would behave this way. She expressed hope that the woman could be found and explain her actions, followed by an apology.

In an update on August 3, a staff member of the self-serve restaurant stated that the store has contacted the police, and the manager is dealing with the matter at the police station.

They revealed that the woman has yet to be located. This is the first time the restaurant has ever experienced such an incident.

The restaurant staff explained that they generally enforce rules to prevent wastage, requiring customers to confirm no excessive waste after dining.

"Including when they left, they all looked very normal. As for what mentality the lady was acting out of, we are not clear at the moment, because we haven't contacted or found her yet. Once we find her, we will understand her motive. We have never encountered a situation like this before; this is the first time," a staff member revealed.

8月2日，在湖北武汉一自助餐厅，两名顾客就餐去取菜期间，邻桌一名女子把剩下的饭菜倒入他们的锅内，倒完还一直在笑。商家调取监控后向2人道歉并免单。
当事人的表姐刘女士称，当时他们的衣服还在凳子上，邻桌女子就是故意为之，倒完了还在笑，自己担心她们有没有疾病，觉得此行为很恐怖，正常人应该不会这样做，希望能找到她们，解释原因并道歉。
8月3日下午，该自助餐厅一名员工表示，目前门店已经联系了公安，店长正在派出所处理此事，倒剩菜的是一位年纪较大的阿姨，目前还没有找到人。对邻桌的顾客进行了免单处理。此前店内从未发生过这样的情况。
工作人员介绍，作为自助餐厅，他们一般会对顾客有禁止浪费约束条款，客人用餐后店员会在台卡上签字确认没有过多浪费。视频中往邻桌倒剩菜的阿姨，出入餐厅时均看起来很正常。“包括他们走的时候都表现的很正常，至于你说那个阿姨她是出于什么心理，我们暂时还不清楚，因为还没有联系到，寻找到这个人，找到之后我们才会明白她的出发点是什么。从来没遇到过类似情况，这是第一次。”
