At every job ive worked at, i monitor the refrigerator and keep a mental inventory of whats there. Certain things, if its been there for 3-4 days ill start nibbling a little off day by day. Say theres a KFC bucket, ill eat 1 chicken breast per day, until its gone.
Packaged things, i generally wait a full 2 weeks...came up on a Banquet "MEGA" bowl the other day, Chicken Mac and Cheese + Jalapeno Pepper. We have like a 50:50 ratio of direct hires to temps, so sometimes people bring stuff in and never come back.
Ive gotten some unpleasant surprises tho...when i first started the job i noticed there was a Stouffers turkey dinner that had been sittin in the freezer for a while. So one day i heated it up, and midway thru the cycle im noticing the nauseating smell, but think perhaps my mind might be playing tricks on me. When i tauke it out, the decay hits ya boy full force...
. I peep the expiration date and see Nov 2018.
But yeah, i stay eating up like its a feast. Any other break room scavengers on NT?
