What is the name of a joint meal during which the invitees serve themselves?

Dan, It doesn’t say that in the notes , but I think you do have to stand to serve yourself . I also normally sit to eat once I have collected my food

I didn't realize I needed to stand at a buffet. I have always sat down to eat.

You can sit at buffet style restaurants....

why is the word 'joint' in the question?

Dan, Wait?! u do?! but me and my fam are always sat down when we go to buffets!! not standing up!! or that is a party!! at parties u mostly stand up to eat food! and serve yourself love going to parties!! not a buffet!

Love going to buffets with my fam!! but haven't been in a couple of months!!

I don't like the buffet
