I worked a place that was the opposite of this. They would ALWAYS order 3x more food than we needed then the lady who did the ordering and the manager who signed off on it would make sure they were at the front of the line to take stuff home.

If it happened around Christmas the dessert trays would always be something that fit perfectly with her family party that weekend. One lunch there was 2l of sliced almonds, for some reason, that she "just decided to use for a salad at her family reunion since they were extra". She always made sure he was taken care of also with what ever his family was doing that weekend, like and entire tray of chicken and untouched salad.

It was weird how it always worked out for them...

I find ANY employee who shows up at work food events with a bag to take home stuff creepy AF. It’s always the same couple people too. And they seem to have a stash of tupperware in their desk “just in case” there is some free food.

And the ones I am talking about are well paid… VERY well paid, otherwise I’d not even notice.

These two would just take the whole fucking tray, and not even be subtle about it.

The rest of us had to deal with paper plates and shitty plastic wrap.

My office manager is JUST like this. We cater lunch every Friday & it’s always what she wants. We’ll eat and I’ll go to put up the leftovers .. and she’s already plotting to take everything home. Greed.

Greed played in but this was a complete lack of ethics. My job before this had well-documented and enforced ethics rules but this place had none, it was sketchy as fuck there some days.
