yep. in a past job, we had to have someone come watch to make sure that the tupperware thing didn't happen so soon.. - b. Sep 16, 11:11 4
- why do they order so much food? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 16, 11:19 3
  - it wasn't vast amounts over, but there was some padding because sometimes people came and went from the meetings and it wasn't clear who all would -- (edited) - b. Sep 16, 11:23
  - Two reasons - it means that everyone at the meeting has a choice, and no one is stuck with the tuna salad sandwich. - Roger More Sep 16, 11:23
  - this actually comes up here sometimes. generally speaking, every meeting has about twice as much food as is ever eaten. -- nm* - Andie Sep 16, 11:21
yeah, this isn't ocean salvage. -- nm - Max Sep 16, 11:08
I've seen so much food go to waste that way though. -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 11:04

- Yes. Hell we just drop it by Juan's desk cause we know he's going to take it all home anyway. - Epiphany Aloha Sep 16, 11:10 3
  - So Juan is your office Chad? -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 11:10 2
    - He's skinny as a rail, doesn't eat it at the office, just takes ALL the left overs home. He does wait until 4 though - Epiphany Aloha Sep 16, 11:15
    - jonathan saw chad last week at the hair cutter. he says chad looks the same. the extra cash hasn't bought him clothes that fit - university of amanda jones Sep 16, 11:11
