I worked at a place where, when times were good (IE high oil prices), there was daily food brought in for everyone.
Massive catering session from Cracker barrel every Thursday.
Gigantic chik-fil-a trays (including the little bread-pocket-nugget thingies) every Wednesday.
Donuts pretty much daily.
Breakfast burritos all the damn time.
People talked about, no kidding, gaining 10 lbs the first few months of working there.
I ate it too!
But back then i was trying to gain weight at any cost and didn’t think about the health of what I was eating.
Not to distract, but on the topic of office “food culture”, this clip of Conan O’brien and the office “foodies” is hilarious…and in the theme of the OP’s post, it also involves setting up co-workers.
Oh, and no, you’re not a bad guy…you were simply facilitating the expedient removal of chips from your work area! Or, you enticed YOUR office foodies[fatties] to remove them from your grasp, kinda like vultures cleaning up roadkill.
I’ll even go as far as to say that opening the chips, and then leaving, was a pretty wise choice: you didn’t trash them or throw them away, wasting food. And you also did not succumb to the precious, mission accomplished. HEY, if you look at it like this…you actually did volunteer work by feeding the hungry. Eh, ok, that’s too much of a stretch.
