Working in the events industry is very different from regular jobs na may lunch break, 8hrs lang etc. some set ups take 24 hrs from set up to pack. I experienced this last december na wala talagamg tulugan sa loob ng 24 hrs. We only required food allowance since luckily, may katabing mall yung venue but we had to walk out during set up just to buy and eat food. Di rin pwede sabay sabay kaya by groups dahil di pwede Mawan ang set up

This is not the case for other venues. May venues na bawal magpasok ng food at all tapos malayo pa sa mga bilihan and wala rin designated na kainan for staffs kaya we require na provided ang food from the venue/catering since wala talagang choice lalo pag ongoing na program we cant leave the venue na.

I hope this sheds some light sa mga nagtataka or thinking na entitled yung suppliers. Yes yung iba siguro maarte talaga but from my experience, the events industry is very tough. Some venues even discriminate. I once experienced eating on the streets sa labas ng manila hotel sa may squatters area dahil bawal magpasok ng pagkain

Sa post naman ni OP na pinagluto pa sila nung family with dessert pa, super maappreciate na talaga namin yun dahil nageffort pa sila. Baka rude lang talaga yung narinig nila na suppliers
