Stolen food

big_gay_kirk

I used to be a warehouse manager, back in the long ago.. we also had a food thief... luckily I caught him red haanded eating my lactosee fre chocolate... as I had caught him stealing I pointed out that according to our terms and condiyions I was now empowered to search his locker and car... he objected, I toild him he couldn't, opened his locker, and found several font cards for a lettering machine... he reluctantly opened his car boo, and lo and behold, there were a hundred quids worth of consumables off te shelves.. He had the audacity to take us to tribunal when I sacked him there and then... but it just goes to show... stealing is stealing.... and dishonest people need to be sorted out...

Can I be the first on here to own up and say I've been responsible for doing this in the past...in my student life I would often grab something from the fridge...late at night

I know. I feel ashamed name, especially seeing as how everyone else was a student too and just as skint as I was.

I stopped when I discovered that the nice looking tub of bolognese had been contaminated with half a bottle of mega chilli sauce. It tasted like battery acid and almost ate through the inside of my mouth.

I was in serious agony and never did it again.

It's not just the margarine. The OP has had her lunch stolen and has either had to go hungry or incur extra expense in providing another lunch. It's also the inconvenience of it too. Why should the OP have to go out of her way to replace something that was stolen from her?

Unless you have experience this kind of behaviour you will have no idea how annoying it is. It's not like it's a one off event that can be dealt with and left behind.

I put a notice on our communal kitchen cup/mug cupboard because my mug kept going missing. Having lost several mugs the next time I arrived at work to find no mug - I went to my workstation and told my boss. He didn't see the big deal, till I went off for 20 mins to hunt it down. I found it on a desk. next time it happened, again I hunted it down and caught the culprit red-handed! I simply asked if it was his mug. He was rather embarrassed and offered me the mug back half full of tea. I told him to drink it and never steal my mug again! The notice went on the cupboard door that day "Do not take cups/mugs if they don't belong to you". My mug has never gone missing since.

It's theft, taking without consent, stealing and it's usually a sackable offence.

A guy at my work used to constantly pinch my mug, and had the cheek to say he didn't know it was mine....quite hard to believe when you consider that the design on the mug was my name spelt out in huge letters and I'm the only one in the place with that name!!!!:mad:
