Selfless eurocrats

A propos the post below (see below), there’s a sign in the European Commission ‘selfs’ (self-service canteens) which raises an intriguing philosophical/ontological dilemma:

“Il est interdit de sortir avec le materiel du Self”

(tr. ‘It is forbidden to leave with the material of the Self’)

Judging by most in the commission, it’s also forbidden to enter with the metaphysical essence of life.
