Don't write policies or reminder notes you are not willing or able to enforce.

Just because you said it on paper doesn't give it merit.
YOU have to do that part.

The second they enter my house with food, I immediately say "Oh-oh it looks like Johnny isn't done with his snack. You'll have to take him back to the car mom until he's done." Then I smile big and stand there in that awkward silence waiting.......

Parents hear you, they read what you write and they know AND understand the rules and policies....they just don't respect you enough to follow them or they are too afraid their child will cry.

Either way, it's not MY problem. I'm so strict about it, I won't even let them use my garbage to toss it out.
