This has happened at vendors, in bars, and in restaurants for my Sims. It's frustrating, because I often play Rags to Riches and am treating my hard working Sim to a rare festival or holiday meal out. The Sim doesn't have Simoleons to waste.
I noticed this at the Romance festival last night. My sim had to order her dinner five times because another sim walked past and collected it before she did. I don’t recall it happening prior to the most recent patch, but my sims don’t eat out often enough for me to be certain it didn’t exist before.
