Members of Poly-Grames have access to a dining room. Our civic spirit will allow us to use it in favorable conditions in order to be able to spend quality rest time.
- Don’t speak loudly so you don’t disturb people in offices near the kitchen.
- The fridge is used to store the food of the day, it is not the extension of your fridge at home, so avoid using it to keep the food that does not fit in your fridge.
- To avoid contamination, discard the food that shows signs of depreciation, otherwise we will be obliged to do so, bowls and packaging included.
- Do not put lunch bags in the fridge, they have been dragged on the ground, take up space and risk contaminating the fridge.
- If a mess has occurred, you are kindly requested to clean it.
- Keeping the tables and chairs in clean condition is a gesture so appreciated by all, it is not a pleasure to clean up puddles of liquid and leftover food after the others.
- Don’t throw the food and the leaves in the sink, it may get clogged and do some damage. It is very easy to wipe the containers with paper before washing them.
- Cover any food dish before putting it in the microwave.
- If damage occurs, you should clean it and wash the turntable.
- If, by chance, the breaker has been activated because of an overload, you are kindly asked to warn technicians as soon as possible because the fridge is on the same circuit.
- If you buy your meal at the cafeteria, you must return the cabarets to the same place.
- In order to create a relaxing atmosphere in the dining room, try to respect other users by speaking less loudly, and avoiding the physiological noises.
- Respect the posters of classification of waste, in doubt, throw to the trash.
