True, true, true, true, true!!! I worked on a project where one time half the crew was ready to walk off the set right in the middle of the day! We were doing several fight scenes and were right at the change of stunt crew when meal break came. The DP, Gaffer, Grip, 2nd AD, 3 actors, and I (doing script super/continuity) were finishing up some pickups when the food arrived. By the time we finished the pickups and went to get our food - THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT! The new crew of stunt guys had decided to help themselves to the food along with everyone else. When we complained about it, the director and producer sort of said "tough luck" (it was a VERY low budget film). So, we looked at them and said "tough luck" right back! And since the DP also owned the camera equipment and grip truck, guess who won! We got better food than the others had! So, FEED THE CREW! REALLY!
