She asked everyone what they wanted and she went and picked up for everyone except me. I smelled the food when she came back and I had to go to one of their desks and everyone was sitting around eating. I said "What do you all have??" the girl who had picked up the breakfasts said "Oh we should have asked Karen if she wanted anything" I'm hurt they asked everyone but me. How can I let them know that? It's hard to just not say anything.

Are you having problems with this person? Is it just possible that it was an honest mistake and not really a slight? Possibily you weren't at your desk when she went by, or you were on the phone and she forgot to get back to you? I know I've missed people when doing the whole "buy for everybody" because of things like that.
All in all, getting worked up about it accomplishes nothing for anybody. Don't make it into something it might not have been.

I know it's hard to not say something, there's really nothing you can say without looking like the smaller person. The other girl looks bad for leaving you out. If you were to draw more attention to her faux pas, then it's going to look like you are making a big deal out of nothing. It's just breakfast. Try to put things in perspective.
I know how you feel b/c something very similar would happen to me. When I first started at my job, well I was working there for about 6 months, my boss and co-worker would sneak out to lunch and not invite me. I felt terrible about it. I know they deliberately snuck out and didn't invite me b/c they didn't want me around. It hurts a lot more than I wanted to admit. But I just had to deal with it and act like I either didn't notice or I didn't care.

Don't say or do anything about it. It's not a big deal or the end of the world. This person probably forgot about u. But it's nothing to worry over. It's just food.

How long has the girl been working there? Maybe she honestly forgot that you were there.
Maybe you have unknowingly done something that offended her?
I think you should have asked where your food was when you noticed them all eating. It's a bit late now to say anything without making it into a "big thing".

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that doesn't happen to you again. Next time, offer to buy breakfast for everyone including that "girl" who forgot to buy lunch for you. By doing this, you'll set everyone a good example.

This sounds a little harsh but at least you know where you stand now. Your co worker are very inconsiderate. Not one person thought about your well being. The best thing is to move on. I'm sure they know that they have hurt your feelings. I would have nothing to do with them. That doesn't mean being rude though.

Perhaps they really did forget to ask you. It happens sometimes. I wouldn't be TOO upset about it unless it's something that happens EVERY SINGLE DAY and you're left out.
Wait and see what happens next time.

Everyone and not you. Hmmmm. Maybe she doesn't like you. Pretty mean spirited.
Let it go. Get your own breakfast, make sure it is something terrific and enjoy it.

Maybe she doesn't feel close enough to you to ask,
maybe she's a rude person. some people are like that. You shouldn't get too upset about it. afterall, she does have the right not to ask you if she doesn't want to.
Just brush it off, pick up your own breakfast, and don't even worry about it...
