I used to work in the catering business in NYC as a cook, waiter, and bartender. When i was doing this, the two largest catering companies in NYC were very largely staffed by the same kids who you would see at the CBGBs hardcore matinee shows, or any other hardcore show. Many of the rest of the staff were dudes who spent a lot of time in gay bars and sex clubs. Lots of folks were various colors besides white because NYC. And lots of women, "from both orchestras" as a Catalan lesbian pal used to say. This is who works catering, everywhere.
Anyway, politicians and fat-cats spend a lot of time at various catered fundraising events and banquets.
I can assure you that no Republican or other person unfriendly to poor folks, punks, gays, and other marginalized folks has ever eaten or drank at a catered event in NYC without consuming the urine, semen, and/or menstrual blood of catering staff.
This is probably true in most other places, see above point about catering staff being weirdos, gay, female, of color, or various permutations of these.
Just thought you should know.
