Time to start labeling my food in the work fridge

Last time I had a salad for lunch I left half a bottle of salad dressing in the fridge.  Today I went to get it out and was down to one last serving size!  How kind of my coworkers to leave me enough for one more salad so I would know to bring more in for next time. 

Re: Time to start labeling my food in the work fridge

  • Oh that's crummy!!

    I used to bring in things like salad dressing and ketchup to leave at work, and EVERYONE used it. So eventually when people would mention they were going grocery shopping I would say things like "Oh, will you pick up more butter/creamer/dressing for the fridge here?" so I wasn't just supplying the whole staff with condiments!

    ETA: We were only ever a staff less than 10 people at my location, so that's why this approach worked.

  • Yep, labeling is the way to go.  Though my co-workers seem surprisingly respectful in this office, I have to say.
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • A good trick:

    I bring my lunch in a plastic bag so I can write my name on the outside with the date (everyone is supposed to name and date their stuff). If I bring in salad dressing I leave in wrapped in the plastic bag while it is in the fridge and usually no one touches it.

  • ugh! i've been lucky to have worked in offices where that does not happen. i could imagine being sooo frustrated if i were in your shoes. who eats other peoples food and stuff? seriously, i couldn't imagine eating someone elses food or condiments. jerks.

  • Putting it in a bag is a good idea!  That way it will be hidden and I won't get ID'ed as the jerk who writes her name on food (no one else does that with their food). 

    I bought some milk last week to put in my coffee and people have been using that too.  With the milk I don't really mind though because I really use like a tablespoon a day, and I bought a quart of it and it doesn't last forever, so there is no way I would use it all.  But salad dressing will stay for a long time!  Long enough for me to take a few weeks off of salad and expect to still have the same amount of dressing in the fridge.  Sigh.
