I had a meltdown over lunch caterers being one hour late

Yesterday, I attended a meeting yesterday and the caterers ended up running an hour late in bringing us our lunch. The worst part is that the director at the meeting had attempted to call them one hour before to make sure that the lunch got to us on time. However, the caterers didn't deliver when they were supposed to. Our director kept calling them only to be told the food would be up in 10 minutes.

I ended up having a meltdown for two reasons

1. I am on the autism spectrum and I have a hard time when there is a change in the routine

In the past, the caterers have usually delivered the lunch on time. So I was frustrated for that reason.

2. I was hangry


When I had the meltdown, I didn't throw a fit, rather, I

1. I expressed my frustrations about the poor service to the director and several other members

2. I couldn't sit still

3. I threatened to pick up my food from elsewhere

I just want to talk about it because yesterday was incredibly frustrating for me. However, the director was frustrated too.

Anyway, I talked to someone who was helping with tech support yesterday who works for this particular venue. He said that the quality of the catering company has gone downhill in the past 6 months. He also told me that if the CEO were at the meeting, they would show up on time.

Lol, I don't handle the catering there at all and I wish they could. However, they are stuck with the same caterers because of where they work. I think the only solution is filing a complaint
