Do you allowed people to grab your food when they visit your home?

[Alwayreckles93]

Personally I just take out muffins or apaticers like tortilla chips with a dip or I will make a salad or a casserole and place it on top of the Kitchen counter. Unless i care about that person so much I will be nice and let them eat the snacks they want. But I do not just allowed everyone to open my frizer and cook themselfs a steak. Do you allowed people to just grab your food or they you put out the rulers?

Probably 3/4 of the time I have people over, I'm making something on the grill. It might just be hotdogs and chips, or burgers, but it's usually chicken, ribs (usually pork), or some kind of beef, with tri-tip roasts being the favorite. I will usually make some kind of potatoes and sometimes corn on the cob (grilled), and then the other side dishes, snacks, and desserts are brought by the guests. My friends don't really go into my fridge or pantry, but there's always plenty of food, so there's no real need to.

On the rare case when I've got someone staying with me from out of town, then of course that's a very different situation, and I'm completely fine if they are helping themselves between meals.

I don't know of any countries where this is like a socially acceptable thing, if you haven't at least been given permission by the homeowners first. I'd be head-tilt, squinty-eye looking at some rando going through my cabinets and fridge for food. And then probably never invite them back. If they don't know or understand certain basic boundaries, I'm not going to keep them from living their best life, but it won't be around me.

[Rosexøxø]

Nice 💯

[A_Bell]

I ask everyone if they need refreshments when they enter and again ever couple of hours or less.

No one would have to beg or steal at my house for food or drink.

[TrueConfection]

I always feed my guests whether they're hungry or not.

I've only ever had someone rummage through my kitchen for snacks once. They were never invited back.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've never had anyone even think about reaching in my fridge that sounds crazy to me

[Alwayreckles93]

Well we have a lot of crazy people on this planet they're parents were useless to teach them from right or wrong that they live you with no choice but to force you to be rude in order from them to get a hint.

[BoopBoopBeep]

haha sounds like it... sorry you have to deal with that

[Alwayreckles93]

It's alright lol

[Jennz6]

I would never do that and I would never expect someone to do that to me

[Alwayreckles93]

Good christian respectful manners thank you ❤💯

[Jennz6]

You’re welcome honey

[bobalife]

Usually I feed my friends as much as I could to make them feel welcome and hospitality lol

[exitseven]

Yes, I am of Italian decent and my wife is as well. We always put out plenty of food

[Juxtapose]

If you want something of mine you should ask me unless we already have an understanding. Unless you want me to just randomly grab things that belong to you : )

[Alwayreckles93]

I love love your anwers 😊👍 You are absolutely correct my friend!

[NathanDavis]

all and any they want

plus what I might offer and serve

[NathanDavis]

also offer them to get them something

but that's how we roll here at the South-South

[Kabluie]

Yeah, I have snack tubs in the kitchen for anyone to grab anything they want as a guest in my house.

[OlderAndWiser]

My guests get whatever i serve them and that is usually something very good!

[Account]

Of course. They can help themselves to the kitchen. In fact, I prefer it.

[Account]

However, I don't do the same lol. I would feel very awkward doing that.

[Wiredone]

If I'm having them over for lunch or something there is plenty of food out for them. Nobody goes in my fridge or freezer to grab something to eat.

[WhiteBoyChill]

If its stuff I bought for my personal use, the expectation is that you ask first. Unfortunately no matter how many times I tell my sister, she thinks everything is free reign.

Within ONE DAY all my Swedish fish were gone 😡

[Yannae]

They may not grab, they get served. They won't raid my fridge, they eat what they get served.

[SotiCoto]

I would stab anyone who tried to open my fridge without permission.

[DextroShade]

If the food is out on the table then yes but they don't get to raid my fridge or pantry.

[ab2shifty]

If it’s family and my homies, sure

but if it’s people ion know then nahhh 🤣

[Stacy0706]

Sure especially if they are close friends.

[Alwayreckles93]

That is very kind of you sweetie. My advice for when you attend college hide your food and snacks. You will have friends and roomates that will stole yiur food. I've been there back in the day when I was young I had a friend now ex friend that would never bring nothing to the table but she would cook herself the other remates steak and shebwould eat it all for her self while the five of us would just keep buying groceries. Jeez I dont care if she had food stamps as longas she would contribute to the table and share. She never bought nothing but she sure would eat all our food.

[Stacy0706]

That sucks I would have found away to teacher her lesson. I had bullies stealing my food so I put laxative in it. Taught them a lesson.

[Alwayreckles93]

Youhave smart ideas. Best of luck

[Stacy0706]

Thank You in my last year of High School.

[Alwayreckles93]

Congratulations👍 Prom dress shopping checking out different colleges and University choices. I recommend you take a financial course it help me a lot to stay out of debt. I recommend you watch on youtube Jordan Page she teaches fiancial debt free her course it's called budget boot camp. I took a financial course when I was your age it really help me to stay out of debt. A lot my friends are all in debt. At my old age 31 I own a paid off home paid off cars. I don't have any debt I a have a lot off savings for my retirement. Wish you the best and you become successful 💯👍

[Stacy0706]

Thank You.

[Exterminatore]

Sometimes. Depends on the situation.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yeah unless it’s my kiddos last snack

[Drumlin2001]

Always happy to offer food and drink.

[Alwayreckles93]

Well you are a verynice generous person. Thats good.

[laly520]

[Iron_Man]

my friend always did he helped himself

[Alwayreckles93]

Oh my gosh how rude of your friend did you called him off to cut the crap out?

[Iron_Man]

We’re still best friends and I was a teenager back then and in my early 20s

[Iron_Man]

[Anonymous]
