Would you take food home from a buffet?

I held a party for a family member’s birthday recently.

One of our family friends runs a catering company and I employed them to provide a buffet suitable for the number of attendees.

One of my DM’s friends turned up with a Tupperware set and said to my DM ‘oh I’ll just take some of the food home for Steve (her husband - not real name). She then proceeded to load three Tupperware cartons with food from the buffet.

Surely this is not normal? Do people really help themselves to food for their family who weren’t even invited?

No. It's extremely rude.

And no one said ‘Put the Tupperware away, Mavis. I’m sure there will be leftovers after everyone who was actually invited has eaten, if Steve has had both hands amputated and really can’t make his own dinner for once’?
