That's hilarious if true... but shows a lack of resourcefulness, only offer hot meals to the first 16 people that submit requests. Once 16 hot meals are spoken for, don't offer a meal choice button. Seems like a simple fix to a simple problem. It's not uncommon for the last 4 seats up front to be filled within a day of departure, so this would be a non-issue anyway, since day of departure upgrades don't meet the 24 hour advance notice needed to fulfil the meal.
