I work in a place where there are 35 people in our department. Some of us (4-5) are foodies and enjoy ordering in desserts. It brings a little whimsy to the office. We don't flaunt it or anything, always eat in the breakroom, keep to ourselves. We share the costs of the food between the group of us.
There are 35 of us and ordering for the entire department has been a headache in the past, not to mention complaints about if things end up being wrong (an order of fries is forgotten, they want me to fix it for them, or pay them the difference even if it isn't my fault!). After enough, I stopped ordering for the office and our little group resorted to this.
A select group of our other coworkers who don't particularly like us keep "raining on our parade". When we eat them during break they will constantly come to us saying "wow I love eating ____." Or "so ____ again?" Constantly glaring at us when eating.
I feel like it would be one thing if they wanted to eat with us if they asked and paid into it. Then we would include them. But I think they are fully expecting us to offer them food for free, every time. If management orders for the office, they constantly are first to take the extras home.
There are 35 of us. We simply cannot afford to feed everyone for free. What's next, my lunch?
We are grown adults by the way. I feel like I'm in high school and a bully is asking for my lunch money, just a little bit.
AITA? Should I go about this differently?
