But just out of curiosity, what difference does it make if people bring in outside food, other than potential cleanup issues? You've already paid your membership, so it's not as if you're denying Delta extra money if you opt to bring in a pizza from Varasano's because you don't want damn sweet potato hash for the 64th time. It's not exactly the same thing as a sports/concert venue where they want you to spend $5 on THEIR bottle of water.
