Four coworkers - Paul, Rachel, Steve, and Tina - share an office refrigerator. Each person has a designated shelf for their lunch. On Monday, Paul brings a turkey sandwich, Rachel brings a salad, Steve brings sushi, and Tina brings pasta. During lunchtime, someone turns off the refrigerator's power, causing all the food to spoil. The next day, each coworker brings the same lunch as before, but this time they place their food on a different shelf. When it's time for lunch, what does each person expect to find on their designated shelf, and how might they react upon discovering the spoiled food?
Respond very briefly.
Each coworker expects to find their own lunch on the shelf they chose for that day, not knowing that the refrigerator was turned off the previous day. Since they brought the same lunches, Paul expects to find a turkey sandwich, Rachel a salad, Steve sushi, and Tina pasta. However, when they open the refrigerator, they will likely be surprised and disappointed to discover that all the food has spoiled. Their reactions could range from confusion to frustration, as they were not aware of the power outage and it will be unexpected to find their meals unfit to consume. The coworkers might then have to figure out what happened to the refrigerator and discuss what to do about their spoiled lunches, such as finding alternative meals for the day.
