Well, in this case I'm not the Kitchen Steward, I'm the dayboard cook.
I'll be the kitchen steward for the June event, where we will have 4
different meals and 4 different meal cooks, and we decided that we would
need someone to handle keeping the kitchen in order and keeping track of
what went where. ;)

I think the amount of influence anybody has on anybody else in the running
of the event varies from group to group. In my group, there's a general
expectation that the autocrat will consult with the group to decide what's
going to happen, and that reasonable requests should be worked out between
the autocrat and the various people doing stuff.  Micromanaging is
disapproved of, of course. (In this case, before I went to the people who
had asked me about this and said, 'Nope. Can't do it' I wanted to be sure
that I wasn't horriblizing.)

Anyway, I took what y'all have said, and talked to the people concerned,
and we worked out a compromise... scented water for handwashing and trying
to avoid 'gunky' or easily spilled foods.
