Embarrassing gift

(Pennsylvania)

I just had surgery & was out of work over Thangsgiving. My boss called and said the staff wanted to drop a basket for me.

I was very happy that they thought of me & felt appreciated.However when the gift was delivered it included a lot of canned foods in a laundry basket.

Some of the cans were dusty, over half of the items were expired & the coupon for a turkey was expired also.

I was very dissapointed & felt this was a reflection on what they thought of me. It looked like everyone went through their pantry & got rid of stuff.

A box of pasta had an expiration date of 2004. I gave most of the stuff to the local food pantry,but not the expired food of course. I am still upset about this & my question is Do I need to send a thank you card when I am not thankful ?
