Reply to comment by MercenaryCow in LPT: Place silverware at the END of the buffet, not at the beginning by whereverYouGoThereUR

But serious question: if you've already planned/prepared serving the expensive stuff, why does it matter where it's placed?

It’s a balance, If there are 200 guests at an event I’ll place my order for about 225-230 piece of protein. Assuming that some jackass is gonna take three pieces, someone’s gonna drop something, and people will grab seconds I should have enough. If everyone grabs proteins first they’re more likely to grab multiple pieces because your brain wants to fill the empty space on the plate. Protein is expensive so the less of that I can order the better for the company.
