The social and economic dynamics of a buffet change drastically if you are at a restaurant or a wedding reception.
Restaurant: Communal bond, from each according to his hunger, to each according to his needs. Under a benevolent, sometimes rigid, authority. No such thing as individual property.
Wedding reception: Uncaring, social Darwinism, survival of the fittest. Those who come first rule over those who come later. Limited resources means more fighting.
