For all we know there could've been 12 cubes in 4 different flavours and her friend only had 3 cubes. It doesn't say she ate the whole thing, only the ones that were cheddar, which for all we know could've only been 3-4 pieces of a huge platter. When you go to parties you often see huge cheese platters that have like 30 pieces on them, but only a few (4 maybe) of each kind of cheese. Maybe the friend is rude and ate most of the bowl, but from the cheese platters I've usually seen when there are a variety of cheeses, sometimes there are only a few pieces of each kind; so we can't just automatically assume the friend is super rude. In my opinion, it's not a big enough deal to ruin a friendship over, and if it was a big deal to op, she should've said something. Like, "sure you can have some, but leave the cheddar ones cause they're my favourite," or if she had already started on the cheddar, "please don't eat all the cheddar, they're my favourite and the reason I bought the cheese dish, but feel free to have some of the other kinds." Op could've easily said something.

This was a snack, not a platter, that's why it was only $3. They have bags of cheese cubes in the like small chip bag sizes, that is what this was. Even still, "TRY" means you take a small amount in proportion to the overall amount, that usually means 1-2 pieces. Any more than that and you're having a serving or portion of someone else's food, which is wrong. Imagine of this was your water bottle, and your friend asks to have a "sip," but then drinks most of it, would that be ok? No, because their wording implies they would be having a small amount and instead they took way more. What the coworker did was wrong, no matter how you swing it, it was bad manners. If she wanted more, she can buy her own.
