  I'd eat both the extra plates.
  
  Hope this helps.

  I don't like crab cakes and am not assembled with a vagina. This does help.

  I suppose I'm also tired of the mentality that corporations are evil and that they need to be exploited. Corporations employee people, and some of them even redistribute their profits to their shareholders(read: Your retirement account).

  Lol, do you think that makes them honorable or something? Of course some of them give the shareholders (read owners) profit. It isn't like some thing they do to be nice.
  
  Corporations don't need exploited because that doesn't help anyone. It's why I hate people that do the "extreme couponing" crap. Companies aren't just giving people shit for free on purpose, coupons are made to drive sales not to be manipulated to get free shit forever. The more people that do that the higher the cost of coupons becomes on companies and eventually it won't be worth it for them to make them (because the cost of the extreme couponers will be higher than the increase in sales due to the coupon).

  Seated for dinner, there are eight people at the ten-seat round table and the empty seats are on either side of us. The staff starts bringing out the main course and I see that it's filet and crab cakes with potates and vegtables. I'm starving and ready to throw that shit down when I see the servers put a plate where the two empty seats are. My eyes light up cuz I know I'm getting at least one of those, but wait...
  
  My brilliant wife says "oh those seats are empty" and they pick both plates up. WTF? Are you kidding me???
  
  I'm convinced women have no common sense. I mean, you don't care if the oil in your car has ten thousand miles on it....but you're worried about whether or not some little mexican girl gives us extra food on the Marriott's dime.
  
  That was bonehead move of the year and it's only January. Jesus H. Christ, woman.

  Your post hits on a few interesting things.
  
  1. you are looking for a handout and expect your wife to help you steal from others.
  2. Your comment about the server being a little mexican girl is racist. Are mexican girls not good for anything else, other than to satisfy your craving of steak.
  3. You have no respect for your wife, calling her a bonehead is not nice.
  
  The most important question that needs asked, was the little mexican girl hot, with big breast or just a nice ass?

  She had one big breast. Right in the middle. It was her who needed seconds.

  Company for which I work has used the same catering company for about five years... they actually have provision in their contract that specifies that the leftovers are shipped to a couple of designated soup kitchens/shelters later the same day. We also get a tax deduction for it.

  Either write it off as a business loss or write it off as a charitable expense. Either way, it gets written off.

  People are missing the point, it isn't the food, it is why someone would sit at a 10 person table and island themselves, did the other 6 people stink? And if the food was adjacent to another diner, wouldn't they be just entitled to the entree?
• Manhattan Buckeye

  "Companies aren't just giving people **** for free on purpose, coupons are made to drive sales not to be manipulated to get free **** forever"
  
  I see what you did there.
  
  1) That might have been the most incoherent portion of a post I've ever read, even from IWP.
  
  2) A coupon is nothing more than advertising, and often it isn't providing something for free, there is still some monetary exchange among the parties, but I digress....obviously everything a corporation does is evil. Making money...evil. Employing people...evil. Providing services....evil. Helping a community...evil.

  Gee....glad I'm paying for you and your wife to attend this conference, eat a nice dinner and drink all you want....and have you bitch about it.
  
  What does your wife do? Who does she work for??
  
  Just so I can boycott her company for wasting my money.

  Nope...honest and reasonable question.
  
  I am allowed to object to how a company that I 'support' spends the money that I pay to them. I can either allow it to happen by continuing to partonize them or oject by no longer buying their product and/or service.
• thavoice

  Ya know, that food was already made so what is the big deal if SVF and his mail order bride didnt say anything and got to eat it? By his wife saying that to them it didnt save or cost the place any extra money.

  Know the OP was not serious. I'm not mad at my wife and the whole table laughed about it, though they were all with me on her just keeping quiet about it. Someone at the table even said they won't go re-serve those plates after they were put on our table.
  
  My point was just how women think different than men about stuff like food.

  You’re there as a guest of your wife, generosity of the company and the working efforts of all the employees you ungrateful buttwipe. The mentality that you think because there an open plate you can help yourself on someone else nickel …. fucking Union mentality. It has nothing to do with whom thinking different men or women, it about what fucking right in the corporation edict of dinning you Philistine. (you may have to look up what Philistine means)
  Being a man is not determine via mutilation of red meat … classless mofo :laugh:

  Ya know bellly........svf is one of the most worthless people on this site but I have to agree with him that it was no big deal if they would have eaten those dinners. They were made....so they either go to waste or someone eats them.
