Ask who owns it. Nobody does: six lemons and ten buns are just more than one, so they need no apostrophe at all. The owning apostrophe is only for an owner, like Nonna's spoon.

Muffin's is wrong because the muffins do not own anything, it is just more than one, so it is muffins with no apostrophe. Jame's is wrong because the owner is James, and the whole name comes first, then 's: James's buns. Muffin's would be right if one muffin owned something, like the muffin's paper case.

'the boss's notice' is the decoy phrase and is already right; 'waiters' and 'pizzas' are plain plurals and also right. Accept James' as well as James's.
