We had our holiday luncheon/potluck yesterday and I was in charge. The caterer brought the biggest deli tray I had ever seen! It seemed like way more food than we had ordered. We packaged it all up and put it in the fridge, along with about 4 loaves of bread. Today, just before lunch time, I sent an email that we had plenty of meat and cheese for everybody to have a sandwich and that we'd have the food out in the kitchen. We had packaged up 8 or 9 plates HEAPING with lunch meats and cheese yesterday. When we went to put it out today, there were only 4 plates of meat and 1 plate of cheese, not enough for everybody in the department to eat again, for sure. And, there were about 2 loaves of bread left. I don't know who took all the other stuff, but I hope they either 1) really needed it badly or 2) donated it to the homeless/hungry. A few people were really perturbed that so much of it had disappeared. I told them I had to have faith in humanity and trust that someone who really needed it took it. But... if someone did just say "hey! Free food, now I can feed the whole clan that's coming over!", then I'm upset about it.
