This is what I've been bombarded with today - A coworkers last day is tomorrow so hooray, they are bringing in pizza..
Not that I won't make room for pizza in my diet, I do - often. I own a pizzeria, it happens. I just don't like things being forced on me.. what would you do? Fit the pizza into your day or bring your own lunch?

I ask whoever's ordering to please make sure there's a thin crust veggie in there for those of us watching what we eat. Then I count it, and chow down with my team.0

I would... Bring a veggie & fruit tray... you'll have something healthy to munch on fill up on that and just have 1 piece of pizza. Now you're an even better team player and they'll be happy and so will you.0
-
I personally wouldn't eat it. I will never put something in my body I don't want just to appease someone else. If you want it enjoy, if you don't bring your own lunch.0

You can always take your own lunch and just eat with the everyone else during the "party". But if you do this, be prepared to answer a bunch of questions as to why you aren't having pizza, etc.0
-
I'd fit it in.0
-
I would take a whole pie for myself. Jus sayin.0

This.0 -
Do it if you will enjoy the pizza otherwise it makes no sense to eat something and feel 'forced' while doing it.0
-
I bring my lunch everyday. So I would just politely turn it down.0

Is this like a hazing or do they actually put you at gunpoint over the pizza? That's so weird.0 -
Can someone force some pizza down my gullet please?0

^^ This is what I wanted to know, too! It seems pretty hard core.0 -
Can they also order a salad with the pizza? We typically order in the last Friday of the month and when it's pizza, it's Pizza/Salad. I'll eat the toppings off of one piece of pizza and chow down on the salad. Happy medium.0

No one is forcing you to do anything. If you don't want to it, don't eat it. If you feel like you're going to give, make room for it and work out a little extra. No biggie.0

Oops... Double post.0
-
Ok, ham, pineapple and jalapenos please.
I'll take a large and expect my free pizza to be delivered with a smile.
And it better be hot or I'm sending it back.0 -
That sounds like assault to me!0
-
I have to fast for some tests this afternoon...
...so I have nothing to add to this thread...
...except that I wish I could have some pizza.0 -
I think you need to look up the definition of "being forced"0

No kidding! My coworkers brought me cake yesterday but they didn't whip out their guns or tasers or anything.
But of course, I appreciate when they do things like that and ate a small slice. It was nice0 -
It's not being "forced on you." Sheesh. You're an adult that can say yes and no.
I also am getting pizza for lunch today and delighted to partake0 -
It is not being forced on you.
I would personally eat it because I love pizza.
If you dont want it, pack lunch and still hang out.
You are welcome.0 -
They're totally trying to sabotage you. I would seek revenge.0

Ungracious rules of Ettiquette # 101:
Owns pizzeria does not offer to bring in pizza.
Bad business practices # 39:
Owns pizzeria let's other's bring competitor pizza to her establishment.
OR
benefit of the doubt, lets OTHER pizza be brought to a place of business NOT her own, calling into question her need to work, the quality of her pizza and her marketing skills.
Social Derp move #1231
actually considering rejecting the brought in pizza.
Solution: Serve your Pizzeria's pizza. All the problems solved. Especially because you can then choose the ingredients and even bring one or one half topped with any number of vegetables you deem healthy. May I suggest Cauliflower and Kale?0 -
I always make a free lunch work in. It feels good to have that control.0

I was just wondering if they had her at gunpoint? Or are they physically shoving it down your throat?0 -
If you want pizza, eat pizza. If you don't want it, don't eat it. No one is forcing you.
I would plan for eating a couple pieces of pizza and some salad (if they have it) and bring my lunch as well. If you end up not wanting pizza you have a backup lunch. If you end up eating pizza you have lunch ready for the next day.0 -
My coworkers know that I eat differently than I used to, and when it's a free lunch day, if I don't want what they are having, I just sit with them and eat the lunch I bring. Just because the temptation is there, I am not obligated to give in to it.0
