    So your workplace doesn't provide milk/coffee/tea for their workers? I can't believe what I am reading here.


    Change jobs. Working for an employer that is too mean to fund something hot to drink for their employees - or a water cooler - is madness. OP, your employer is too greedy for words. How about putting in a grievance with your union?

    bigger companies dont provide anything in my experience, its only the smaller/medium sized ones that tend to

    Going to a union over some milk is a ridiculous idea, its not some sort of right to get free tea at work

    I find the labelling of foodstuffs at work quote interesting. Last week I ate a pork pie named 'Colin' a chicken sandwich called 'Dave' and a rasberry yoghurt named 'Davina Mc' Fascinating.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Buy a Frijj milkshake and when it's empty fill it with normal milk and keep it in the work fridge. No-one will add that to their coffee or tea. Just hope you don't get a milkshake thief!

    Reminds me of this. I'd personally just take the small cartons you get at cafes and leave them to it. I work 24 hours (for sleeps) often and have to take all food and drink so your lucky if work provides it for you

    It's the whole bottle which has gone missing, although on other occasions, I've noticed some has gone out if it, but definately on the last 3 occasions it's been the whole bottle.

    My employer does provide tea, coffee etc & milk, I just,choose to take my own as I like skimmed milk & my colleagues semi skimmed. The other option is that I add my choice to our milk order but that may not deter the thief.

    Some good suggestions, thank you ��

    Has the milk been out of date and somebody has decided to throw it out.

    A grievance over not providing milk...really?

    Your union would hopefully just laugh at you for being petty.

    Could out into a dark container, so it's not obviously milk.. cost of cctv for such a low value item is not MSE worthy!

    I never once got an employer supplied drink, during 38 years in the civil Service..
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
