I've invited some vendors to my company for all-day meetings. We're having lunch catered just because of the time factor. The problem is, the caterer gives us a 20 minute window of when he'll have everything set up so we don't always get to leave our meetings right when the food arrives. We've had a really bad problem with random people walking up to the food & helping themselves. I'm not talking about 1 or 2 inconsiderate people, but 20! We're only buying enough food for the 36 people attending our meetings. How do I stop these horrible people? I sent out a note inviting them to the left-overs at 12:30 so they'd know exactly when it was alright to eat what's left. By 11:30, they're starting to buzz around the cafeteria like vultures, just waiting to eat. It disgusts me! I put up a note basically telling them not to touch the food until the sign is taken down. I have to stand by the food, sometimes 30 minutes, just to make sure they don't touch it. How do I stop them?

My guests had to BUY their own soda because the greedy fools I work with drank it all. There were no plates, napkins or silverware left because that many people felt entitled to just take what was out there. We're talking 25% of the people on my floor were so selfish. How do I make them see what an embarassment they've created?
