[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the person who always signs up for desserts, and brings something store-bought. I do it because I hate to cook, and my evenings are busy anyway carting my kids to their activities. I would much rather give money towards a catered lunch. [/quote]

And you are the person we hate.  If you hate to cook, which I get - bring something else store-bought that is actually decent like a good dip or premade salad.  Or drinks! Don't block the creation of a possibly yummy and decadent homemade dessert out of your sheer laziness. [/quote]

Who's "we"? Seriously, you think others are on board with your hate? Leave people alone. And FYI there's nothing more disgusting than store-bought dip. Gross. I don't hate people for having bad taste in food though....[/quote]

No, "we" don't "hate to cook."

We have other things to do with our time off work besides shop to take things to work, or cook food for other people at work. If you make us participate in your potluck, for people who either love potlucks or people who don't have much else to do, we will bring the cheapest easiest thing we can get away with.

We are not obligated to buy our coworkers food. We are living in a large urban area (DC) where it is a pain to do anything with all the traffic, much less prepare optional food for work and then carry that food into work. This is not small town USA where it is easy to buy and prepare these things during and after your ten minute commute to work. ( I used to live in small town USA.)

I am currently not paid enough in the DC area to buy food for other people to eat for workplaces which are too cheap or too broke to provide food for staff. [/quote]
