Old food?

This week we have dealers from across the country here at work for training and info on new products. Last night was the kick off dinner at Sticky Fingers.

We had a good time, nice to meet a few new people and good to see the ones we have done business with for several years now. We mingled and finally sat down to eat. The food was good and there were some left overs that we could not bring with us because that is against company policy. That I do not understand.

The food was served buffet style in foil platters. We wanted food for X amount of people and Sticky Fingers estimated how much food would be necessary for our private party which we also paid for. So in my eyes it is our food. What are they going to do with it anyway? Throw it out? Donate it to a homeless shelter, which would be nice. Mix it in with tomorrows buffet? If that's the case who's old food did I eat?

Any one that knows why it is like this? The server nor the manager could tell us why. But it is a brilliant company policy.

So I left with a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, I guess they recycled some old food.
