Office kitchen etiquette in my mind is a very important one. I don’t know about you but if anyone stole anything of mine from the office fridge, I would go ballistic. In my mind there is no excuse for ‘mistaking’ your yogurt or drink for mine. It’s plain and simple. If you didn’t place a yogurt or a drink in the fridge in the first place, then it’s not yours for the taking. According to a survey taken by 2500 US office workers, 98% said that office kitchen etiquette is very important to them and thus making stealing food a big no no in the office kitchen.

At one place I worked, there was a policy that once a fortnight the cleaners would throw out whatever was left in the fridge. This included plastic containers, full drinks and yogurts and any other odds and ends left in there too. This was a good way to keep the fridge clean and mold free.

You should also clearly mark what’s yours in the fridge in case anyone forgets what is theirs. Another good idea is to post the clean out times of the fridge as well as a ‘keep the fridge clean policy’ on the fridge door.

While some can put up with swearing, rude behavior and other annoying and bad habits around the office, having a lack of office kitchen etiquette and stealing their food or drinks, is the one thing that can send them around the bend. It’s just plain rude and inconsiderate.

  • I’m kinda lucky where I am as we tend to all share what’s in the fridge as we replace whatever it is that we used. Not all offices are like that though…sadly :-(
