Have nc'd for this...

Mentioned to colleague in passing yesterday that it was a shame we don't generally have bread in the office as we have a sandwich toaster. They said they had some shopping coming... well it arrived, and colleague was out of office. It was left on their desk but they won't be back today so we've put it away. There's loads. It's taken all free space in the fridge and a good bit of counter space. Oh, they have food in the cupboard as well. To help imagine how much food this is, it's over 40quids worth from a good value priced supermarket. The fridge is only small under counter one and the kitchen is tiny as it is.

Haven't spoken to them yet so unsure if some of this is going home with them at some point but... I'm not the only one who thinks it's not right. However, I feel like if I mentioned it to manager I would be met with "is it in your way?" kind of response, which I get, and I guess technically it's not, unless someone else wanted to put something in the fridge or on the counter. But is that really the point?

LOL feed I knew she would do things like that! Every office seems to have a dominant 'I'll treat the office as though it's my home' type employee in my experience. One woman I used to work with always used to go into our tiny little tea making kitchen and use the grilling machine and plug in hob to make herself a roast dinner!

This reminds me of an ex-colleague who would go shopping at l/t and then fill the counter fridge with her stuff, leaving no room for anyone else!

There was no reason she couldn't shop after work like everyone else and let the rest of us store office supplies in there. She always was a selfish bitch.

Blimey. We have communal fridges and are next to a huge sainsbos. We all manage to get our stuff in. As pp say after lunch not too bad.but a grocery delivery to work?
