Sounds like a Deutsche Bahn lounge where you get a slice of bread served by a waiter.
Obviously due to popular demand by SENs who traditionally have been emptying the buffet by sneakily shoveling incredible amount of foods onto their plates (or even into tupperware) and are now desperate to eat clean and go on a loss-weight regime.

TBH I like the service concept of the DB F lounges. Someone comes to you and asks what you would like to have and serves it. Its the same industrial food purchased at a local Metro but the one or two employees running around make a distinct difference.

With all due respect but I think it would be rather simplistic (and possibly unappropriate) to put it all down to 'nationality': amongst the very first things that travel taught me is that rude and shameless people are found in any race/culture and indeed nationality, that's the way they operate and that is regardless of their passports.

I have seen people pocketing food and drink, but more at the larger international hubs and never at small stations such as NUE.

Table service is nice, but I often only have a few minutes to grab a little something and appreciate a self-serve offer, as it is much quicker. Still don't mind employees running around serving food and champagne, uhm sparkling wine.

The English lounge attendant who shall not be named for GDPR reasons told me they haven't had sausages for over a year. All I wanted was sausages. Like the Dr in Fawlty Towers sketch.
Sausages.
"Bratwurst sind in NUE verboten" sagt Helga.

That's my main gripe with the change last fall: they used to have Nuremberg style bratwurst sausages, which Nuremberg ist famous for, day in day out for years. And then they disappeared over night and never returned.
Food is one of the things you just don't want to homogenise, as people love regional specialities. Couscous salad and sandwich may be OK food, but it is just so not Nuremberg.
Won't comment publically on the lounge attendant ...
