Snack Break Standards

Snack Break Standards are the non-negotiables for all employees during their 15-minute break. These rules are in place to ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to enjoy a snack, and to prevent the spread of stale, soggy, or suspiciously expired food.

1. All snacks must be purchased with company funds.

2. All snacks must be consumed within the break room. No snacks may be eaten at your desk, in the bathroom, or in the supply closet.

3. No snacks may be shared or traded. If you bring a snack, it is for your own consumption only.

4. All snacks must be stored in their original packaging. No reuse or recycling of packaging is allowed.

5. All snacks must be eaten within 15 minutes of being opened. No snacks may be saved for later, even if they're 'good for a little while longer.'
