f. Research Commons/Kitchen Etiquette
Each floor of MCPRK has a Research Commons. These Commons are everyone’s responsibility
Listed below are office kitchen etiquette rules.
• The Commons are for light cooking/warming only. Approved appliances include: coffee maker, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, and hot pot. If you use any of these items and you make a mess…clean it up. No one wants to use a microwave with food spattered all over.
• Be conscientious of preparing foods that have lingering smells.
• Clean up after yourself. Don’t leave crumbs and leftover food particles on the counter. Wipe them up. If you rinse your dishes, don’t leave bits of food in the sink.
• Throw out your old leftovers. The refrigerators are cleaned every Thursday. If it is not marked, it will be tossed.
• If it’s not yours…don’t touch it!
• Research Common Supplies: Forks, spoons, plates and napkins are stored in the Commons for School events not for personal use. The School is not a cafeteria. Bring your own utensils to use for food consumption.
• If you use a serving pieces or utensil for an event, wash it and put it back where you originally found it for the next event.
