Workplace food etiquette

There is a package of calzones in the breakroom freezer just calling my name. Putting aside the argument that fresh calzones beats frozen ones handsdown, how long do I need to go before these things are "up for grabs". They've been in the freezer for at least a month and about 70 people work on my floor, so it's quit possible that the person these belong to is no longer with the company.

Eat them and the first person to complain is probably the owner.

 

[Juno]

steal it and you'll have yourself free dinner/s.

 

[RKS]

Put a Post-It on it stating you are eating the item on Friday. If it not removed/eaten by then I think it is all yours.

take one and speak nothing of it. see who puts up a thread about "wtf? who the hell would take calzones?"

 

[FoBoT]

"at least a month"

those are your's , you just forgot about them

 

[BooGiMaN]

if you have been checking on them for a month..why havent you just gone out and bought your own?

mmm, calzone ... watch out for the rat poison or the laxative

 

[Chronoshock]

Take them and leave a note in the freezer: "Food present for more than one month has been removed -- Cleaning Staff"
This will set a precedent and let you steal more food

be careful, where I use to work I was the resident eater. I never took anybodies else's food, but people associated me with food because I was always snacking on something I bought. One day a couple of Marc's Corndogs came up missing and naturally I was suspect #1 since co-works always saw me with food. I didn't know shit about his Corndogs, but that didn't stop him from sending an email to everyone in the damn building saying that I ate his Corndogs. There was no asking me, no trial, no nothing. Just guilty, and after that day I was labeled a thief.

I accidentally took an old lady's frozen burito. I had been bringing my own every couple of days, and could have sworn it was mine. It was, she complained loudly and whinily to everyone who would listen. Normally I would apologize and make it up for her, but in that case I was to wierded out by my mistaken memory... I never did apologize to her, and now she's retired.

Sorry Kathy, I owe you a burrito in the next life.
