Why can't autonomous delivery drones solve world hunger?

All advanced civilisations have to ask themselves how to best optimize their supply lines. Handing over that duty to AI would give an efficient and most importantly an impartial delivery system. People are just numbers to the machines, they don't pick favourites... or do they? What's the loophole?

The delivery drones could allocate resources based on the number of citizens. One package per head. However, this may not be efficient. A child has higher caloric needs than an older person. Different jobs require varying levels of effort. Individuals have varying metabolic rates and so on... So the drones would profile individuals over time to best serve their caloric needs and optimize resource allocation. This would usher in an age of abundance. However enough isn't always enough. The system might be perfect but the people aren't. There's always people trying to get a bigger share of the pie.

So the question stands: how do you abuse this system? How do you cheat the super smart hive-minded pizza delivery droids to get seconds? (Not just pizza. It's a joke.)
