Default Welcome back...FU

Drawbacks of working for a large company that has a third-party food service...

I got married last weekend (Yay!) and we ended up with a whole quarter-sheet cake after the reception. We cut it up into thirds, some for the parents (who, through the vagaries of reception chaos, didn't get any [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ) some for us, and I brought a third into work.

I step into the cafeteria, and the following takes place:

Me: "Hi. I brought in some cake for my team, and I was wondering if I could grab about 15 plates and forks?"

Food service guy: "We have to charge you for them."

Standard? BBV?

Al, tdarko:

Thanks!

jack:
Thanks...and I can't realistically avoid it, as I'm on a contract right now, and want to stay on-site as much as possible (although a cup of Starbucks urn coffee costs more than at Starbucks, which I also find funny).

I'm getting curious.

What does it cost rent 15 plates and 15 forks for ca. 1 hour?
