you know what, fuck the system, this dude knows whats up. Not only is he making his own life better but you can tell by the amount of food he has, that he has enough to share.
My work office has a full kitchen that nobody ever uses, so one day I decided to just make cookies for everyone while I was on the clock. As I suspected, nobody wants to be the one to reprimand the guy giving out cookies for wasting company time. I work mostly remote now, but once a month when I come in for a meeting I'll spend a couple hours in the morning making cookies, and everyone's always excited for it.
You'd be surprised what you can get away with by just doing stuff without asking if it's okay first. Asking first usually gets ideas shot down, but once you're already in the middle of doing something, most people assume someone gave the go-ahead. Worst case scenario you can pull the "I thought it'd be fine" line, but I almost never have to do that.
When I was in the office I worked from home one day and my intern took my desk. I don’t know how, but he explosively spilled a latte everywhere. It was on the wall, the desk, keyboard, everything. That desk was forever sticky after that.
man, I loved that kid, he was hilarious. But yeah, everything in the office always gets sticky.

Friend, I think you may have stumbled upon quite the lovely litmus test of a company's culture. Thanks for sharing that story.

I have no issue with this except the grease splatter. Your work area would be tacky and dusty all the time!

It’s already like that!

Stickiness is a child thing.
Being a child isn’t necessarily tied to biological age, unfortunately.

Umm, actually, business is for grown ups and sometimes we get sticky, but that’s just a part of doing a business

As someone that worked in call centers b4: I approve.
I’ll bring toasts& drinks.
