But the main alpha will allow (what's next in the pecking order? Lieutenants?) the lieutenants to eat at the same time. If this was pure selfishness they'd all be fighting to eat first. Right?

Exactly. And that lower ranked member will learn that it is wrong to eat with those higher up in the pecking order.
I only thought of this because I didn't think morality existed anywhere in nature except for man.
In any social setting in nature where there is a structured hierarchy, the members of these group have to know their place - they have to be 'aware' of their place and follow the rules set by that particular group. Right?
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.
