A cautionary tale: no one cleaned out the fridge in our break room at the beginning of last summer. When we returned in September, whatever was in the fridge had liquified and black goo leaked out of it. The wooden top of the desk was partially dissolved and soaked through. It stank like death, and there was a swarm of fruit flies. It was a horror.
This is what happenes when no one cleans those little cartons out of the refrigerator. Don’t let it happen to you!
Like tdn, our office has someone that cleans out all the refridgerators and freezers once a week. If your name ain’t on it, it’s gone. And even if your name is onit, you better have a date written for things like milk, fruit, etc.
Cervaise, if you were in charge, you would be wise to do this. Buy the milk in those large bags for dispensing. You can buy the milk in 3-5(not sure which) gallon bags that are put in a gadget that dispenses like a soft-drink fountain set-up. Save money buying in bulk without the extra packaging. The company buys it all anyway, so just have one source to get it from. This also takes care of someone worried that someone else, God forbid, touched the container.
After this is set up, I’d recommend mandatory beatings of your coworkers for being so, well, I can’t even come up with an appropiate insult. Just fire the idiots. But during the exit interview, ask if they support feeding the hungry to guage the response of those wasting so much food. :mad:
But we still haven’t heard more about Amber in Treasury. 
We have this too, except every Monday everything is cleaned out. Tupperware containers are dumped and cleaned in the dishwasher. Nothing stays there more than a week.
Hah! At our office, we put up a sign that tells everyone to get their stuff out of the refrigerator by Friday or we’re throwing it away. There’s none of that cleaning out someone else’s tupperware. I’m not paid to clean the kitchen and I’m certainly not paid to do the dishes. If someone doesn’t take it away before we start cleaning, the whole thing goes in the trash. With such a strict policy, it doesn’t take people very long to remember to take their things home.
