There are so many factors that go into this decision.
I do personal things for my boss all the time. It is literally part of the job description, with the full blessing of the company. I find it makes an enormous difference what level executive the boss is. In my case, he is the Chairman Emeritus and that brings certain privileges with it. I doubt very much that a front line supervisor or office manager would be afforded the same opportunity for this.
Another factor as well is the number of people supported. When I was supporting 38 engineers in a job long ago, there's NO WAY I could have provided that level of support. There weren't enough hours in the day.
As long as it has the blessing of the company, I have no problem with it. Otherwise, it is on a case by case basis. I certainly have never minded picking up lunch for a boss that was working through (and usually they would buy my lunch if I did that).
It depends on the nature of the request, how much I like the boss, how much time it will take, how often the boss makes these requests, etc.
