Partner arguing with my daughter over food

I'm not sure why I'm posting on here, I think it's because I've had enough but just need to make sure I'm not over reacting.

My partner of 3 years has just had an argument with my daughter (she's 16) over her eating the one packet of melon in the fridge. He doesn't live here (stays a couple of nights a week) and doesn't contribute towards my shopping (I don't expect him too).

He accused her of being selfish as he fancied some of the melon. Im not being funny but he doesn't have any right to demand she leave some for him, surely? He's never 'horrible' to my daughter but his sense of entitlement around my house appears to be getting worse.

Minor problem I know, but someone please tell me he's taking the mick here?!

I don't think your daughter likes him much OP, and her reaction over melongate suggests that this is just the latest in a long line of entitled wankery from your partner.

Definately a worrying sense of entitlement from him. Have to agree with pp, it's a dump able offence. And based on the hogging the remote update...yeah.. I'd be done.
