I confess proudly that I was one of the biggest assembly food rapists when it switched to the donation arrangement. In fact, I would roll up to the counter with a fake list and pretend I was getting food for a huge family, LOL. "Uh, yes, hello sister, what a fine morning program that was, may i please have 6 roast beef sandwhiches, 6 chocolate puddings, 6 apple danishes, 6 sodas....etc" and i would eat throughout the entire fKing program, as it was so boring there was nothing else to do. I dont know why I just thought of this, but anyone else do this? or was i just a sicko?
Did you used to be an assembly food rapist?

I was too young to pull that off when they still had the food. And too much of a loyalist to even think of it. Besides, I was never a big eater anyway.

I was too young too to ask for more food than i needed, but is it wrong of me to admit that i do miss the danishes and pudding? lol.

What was with the greasy chicken wrapped in white bread?
But,no,I wasn't an assembly food rapist. I only liked certain things,like the bag of fruit was safe,the citrus shasta,but not the cola shasta.

wha happened?
Joking aside, I soon tired of that stuff and would leave against the recomendation to bring/purchase food. Often I found it took me less time at Dodgers stadium, for me to go to my car, leave, run through some drive through, drive back, park and run to my seat, in less time it took someone to stand in those huuuuuge food lines, only to get a danish, and one of those 30 weight oil pasta salads.

@ wha happened, I was about to say the same thing you said in your first post! The final year they had the food arrangement, my family didn't get a damn thing to eat for lunch on the final day of the convention because of pubs like the OP. And we didn't have any way of leaving to get anything for lunch, either.
One of my biggest pet peeves is people who take advantage. I didn't do it when I was a dub, and I damn sure don't do it now. But I've been on the receiving end of such behavior numerous times. In short, it's not right, it's not fair to others, and it's certainly not funny.

"...one of those 30 weight oil pasta salads."
I remember the 1990 District Convention. The first day of the program my dad went to get lunch for my whole family. When he came back all he had was 5 of those nasty pasta salads. He said everything else was gone because not enough food was ordered.
After that my mom just packed us lunches.
