Unless they are not paying for the food or they bought a ticket for the
dinner.

We've been traveling in "Senior Citizen" country for the past 12 years
and I can tell you that they have enormous appetites when they aren't

restaurant, watch how the seniors pile it on even though they are
getting it at a reduced senior citizen price. <g>
