We're having a serve yourself buffet and I've order enough food for 60, and we're basically feed 45 people (about 1.3 servings per person). A coworker saw one item that we'll have and said her boyfriend (another coworker) could eat half of it. I would just laugh it off and just take it as he really loves this specific item but at a store meeting we had enough doughnuts for everyone to have at least 2, but not 3 each. Before everyone was able to grab one, he picked up 6 for himself. Comments were made and his response was "Doughnuts are good!" I can see this person being hungry, running to the front of the line, piling his plate full of this food, and not thinking twice about how much he's taking or other guests.
If he does take half that only reduces it down to 1.2 servings per person, but I know people tend to take more than just 1 serving. I also don't want other guests to be left with just salad to eat. Our parents have said not to worry about it and let him look like an ass (he would look like one but definitely not feel like one) but I'd rather have too much than not enough. 12 additional servings of food will only cost $55 and will bring it up to 1.5 servings per person. Should I go ahead and get the extra 12 servings to be on the safe side?
