They kicked a woman out of the BOS C Terminal RCC last Thursday!

First they announced over the intercom something along the lines of: "For the comfort of our member, please remember that no outside food may be consumed in the United Club. You are free to bring any food in with you that you intend to eat on your flight, however our may not consume it inside the club."

Some woman was eating a salad, and spilling quite a bit I may add. After the message she said rather loudly, "I hope they weren't talking about me." A few minutes later someone came by and asked her to leave. She argued a bit, but they did not budge, and she left.

I figured it was for trash, they don't have enough trashcans or staff to pick up all of the outside food trash, but I also like the person who suggested smell. I too would be annoyed smelling McDonald's in there.
