There's someone who sends out an email to the floor, but that person alerts her friends first before it goes out so they can get first dibs. I used to sit next to one of her friends which is how I know.</p> <p>Same at DH's office although he learned it the hard way. I gave him a box of GS cookies to bring to work and he made the fatal mistake of not taking any out for himself before putting the full box in the pantry. He came back 10 minutes later and they were gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-540050 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:24:21 +0000 Bookish 540050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm yes. We are all fatties. I myself nearly ran to the leftover cake yesterday. Nomnomnom... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-540029 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:20:30 +0000 heffalump 540029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I used to work there was always free food so I think people just got used to it. Meetings would always mean free donuts and I always wanted to jump on them.... but I was the only one so I was too embarrassed! And there was free lunch which I did take advantage of as long as I liked it that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-540018 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:18:29 +0000 plantains 540018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: @rachiecakes: wow!!! that just made my day, too funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-540004 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:17:07 +0000 SleepyMonkey 540004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely!

It will just be left in the conference room and you can grab what you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-539888 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:44:21 +0000 pui 539888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every two weeks we have a pizza lunch which the company pays for. Everyone is happy about it, but there is always more than enough so no one has to race to the lunch room. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-539881 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:42:11 +0000 MrsCastro 539881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: that is hysterical...too much... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-539534 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:34:28 +0000 autumnlove 539534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: Dang!!!

We all know it'll happen and just laugh. If there's something we want, we know to set it aside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-539420 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:07:12 +0000 Alivoo01 539420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our company hosts holiday luncheons, and it seems to be pretty orderly. And when there's leftovers from other departments placed in the kitchen/break room, there's usually food leftover at the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-go-crazy-over-free-food-at-work#post-539413 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:03:11 +0000 autumnlove 539413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not at the office today but I heard there was a meeting with catered breakfast for the execs. They didn't eat everything so they put the leftover pastries, coffee and fruit in the kitchen and most of my coworkers RAN to grab something. LO..free food is wonderful! </p>
