do you take food to your work place to have it along with your co-worker?

Sharing has been a blissful thing; especially for food. But in my experiences I tend to choose whom do I eat with. I share lunches or create a team lunch event with my clanmates and organizing team with me. In my original work I tend to be "greedy" because I want to share that moment alone and such. We even have an issue before with a coworker who tend to eat everything thet you have as you share them; as if he can't buy for his own (sadly, he resigns and of course I'm also sad at that point) as I feel that somebody's invadign my personal time at office ^_^') Some sorts of sharing; that's my point. Hope to hear more from you. Enjoy posting in mylot!

? Is it not normal for you or in your culture to do so? It's normal over here. you take your own food and during break you eat it together. In bigger companies you can buy food (or a hot meal) as well. but everybody is eating his/her own food, which is normal too since many people have their own kind of diet. I don't understand what you mean by: shearing mentality... do you mean "to share" so you bring all the food with you and the rest is eating for free? I think a thing like that you can only do if you have plenty of money and don't care if nobody is sharing his/her food with you. BTW also schoolkids take their own food with them to school.

I do bring food to my work place. However, I have lunch alone only because my colleague prefers to eat outside.

Yes, I always share my lunch with my co-worker. Usually when i took homemade food. It's a great experience to see my co-worker are also happy with those homemade food and they also share their food with me. Its a fact that when you share your food with others, you can also share your other moments with them.

Yes sometimes I do that too. But not all the time. These days I share my lunch with someone whose working in the same building where I work. I try to bring as much as I can so if she also wants it she can take also. And that is what she's doing too. I sometimes bring fruits or chocolates too. And she normally brings cake or any fruits too.

normally i carry lunch box but i will not eat it with my co workers. i will take everyday the curd rice only , as i like that only. others will have many types of food and i do not want to share or to eat with them.
