Removal of workplace Facilities

[Pale Rider]

All my cheese is in the fridge, wrapped up to stop it drying. Last week I had a lump of Sainsburys Cheshire that started going blue/green and fluffy exactly one day after the use by date. How long would it have lasted at room temperature? Not very long I expect. Oh, and I don't have a cellar.

Best thing for cheese I have found is the plastic bag inside most cereal packets.

Fold the end of the bag loosely under the cheese to allow a bit of air around it, before putting it in the fridge.

Writing 'so do I' would mean they lick their own cheese, which is fine with me.

I think there's two ways of looking at it. are they referring to their own cheese or subject to which the original note is attached.
its probably easier shortening 'I too lick your cheese, the piece that this post it note is attached to'. to so do I. Especially as its only a post it note & not a piece if paper from a larger item of stationery that has been nicked from the cupboard.

Can you not prepare your lunch at home. Thats what I do and I dont need the use of the fridge at work.

Steve

That's great. More room in the fridge for my stuff!

Or lock your sandwiches In a cash box and put it in the fridge.

Put the fridge under your desk. Or move your desk into the kitchen.

So where do you keep your wine?

 

[XRHYSX]

Have you ever tried to pay for a pint of beer with a cheese and spam baguette?

so you're the person who keeps stealing my baguette.

Can't you just take "enough" food? You are preparing for a day at work, not a cycle ride across the Nullarbor plain.

Why cant the management do something about stealing food.
They would be much quicker to act if people were stealing change out of peoples wallets, so why is food in the fridge any different?

They can. They can say stop bringing your stuff into the office to be nicked. And/or stop leaving your wallet lying about for folk to steal change from.

Not the best way of solving the problem though is it. A bit like stopping all cycling related deaths by banning cycling.
I would've thought a robust approach to anyone stealing in the office would be a better deterent.
Can work stop staff bringing in food? I doubt it. They could conceivably remove the fridge, but I would be amazed if they could actually stop you bringing food into work.

Label your food as 'parasitic worms' or 'bum gravy' .

That wasn't the question.

Plenty of workplaces actively discourage folk from bringing their own food in and storing it btw.

I have no facilities where I work, I keep my lunch in my bag and retrieve it from there when I want to eat.

I always went out to buy the ingredients for lunch very day. I could have brought it to work, but a forty minute amble outside kept me sane. Doesn't help if you are nowhere near a shop, granted.

Wow, two pages of replies and a couple of laughs

For cost savings I buy my food weekly at a supermarket and make my lunch on the day, while at work. I spend about £8 a week doing this. Plus I dont have to remember to make it at the end of the evening and remember to bring it to work in the morning (which I always forget). It works for me. Some of my colleagues nearly spend that on just one sandwich and a bag of crisps!

I just seem to remember there being a rule about removal of faclilities (not Falicity ) when they have been in place for some time already. No, the company are not removing them, just disallowing them to be used as they were previously.
