In Office Food Etiquette

Everyone likes baked goods, treats, and food in general. Especially when someone in your office brings in something they've made at home.

At first when someone brings something for the office, do not assume that it is something that is going to be shared. Normally, who ever brings the food in will announce to everyone that they brought in food to share with the office. You wouldn't like it if someone came to your desk and started picking at your lunch, right?

When someone brings in food to share, they bring just enough in for everyone to have 1-2 servings. When someone takes more than the allotted amount it takes away from the others in the office, and someone is bound to miss out. So please remember to think of others and not pig out.

After you have had your taste of the sweet awesomeness, please, please make sure you clean up after your self. Either if it is throwing away your trash or cleaning up your crumbs. If you just happen to be the last person to take the final piece, throw away the container or ask the person who brought them in what they want you do to with the container.

The number one thing to remember is to thank the person who brought in the food. This will make the person feel like they did a good job, they are appreciated, and have them to possibly bring more stuff in at another time.
