Coworker pressures teammates to buy lunch for the entire team, using birthdays and special occasions as an excuse to get free food: ‘At first, we thought it was just her being friendly’

Going out as a team together can be a good opportunity to bond, that's for sure. Getting some fresh air, sharing food, and gossiping about other people at work–could be a nice experience, every once in a while.
