Should I told him to bring a dish next potluck?
Yesterday, our office had another potluck in the break room. Everyone brought something: salads, roasted chicken, cheesy pasta, there was such a good spread. I was sitting in the corner about to grab a scoop of salad when I saw that one coworker walk in… empty-handed again, just carrying a big soda bottle.
During lunch, he loaded his plate up so high, chatting and laughing with people. This isn’t a one time thing, he almost always eats the most but brings next to nothing. I kept going back and forth in my head, should I say: “Hey, maybe bring a dish next time?” But I was scared it’d kill the vibe and make lunch super awkward.
By the end, he walked back to his desk with this satisfied smile and I just ate my food wondering about next potluck, do I let it slide again or finally say something?
