Food Theivery at the Office

onefortyone

Put your food in a Tupperware container with a note on it saying 'dog medicine' or something.

Back in the 80's I had someone on Swing Shift going through people's food in the lunchroom. Sometimes taking it, sometimes eating half and leaving the other half in the fridge.

I tried a couple different things.

Made a chicken salad sandwich with chopped up habaneros in it. They took a couple bites and left the rest.

Most effective was putting Syrup of ipecac in some chowder. I not only stopped the person, but found out the next day who it was, because they were violently sick and sent home. I then confronted the person when they returned to work. I got wrote up for that, but it was worth it.

Good man!

That used to happen to me until I made a nice soup made of laxatives and dog poop, I put my name on it, and "Don't touch", I left it in the fridge and someone took it...the next day I put a note stating I hope you enjoyed the dog poop and laxative soup you ate yesterday....I've never had that happen again...lol

Yah, I don't believe this.

Opening the container alone would smell, let alone it would probably smell through the container.

Calling BS.

i don't believe any of the stories about people "spiking" their food. not only could it lead to them getting fired if caught, but it may even be illegal. anyone who would do that over stolen food is probably a sociopath. it's just food. a stolen tub of yogurt is not grounds to go around poisoning people or making them ingest harmful ingredients -- even if the victim is a food thief.

I mark the hell out of it with my initials. Seriously I go crazy putting my initials all over it with a permanent marker, so anyone walking off with it can't pretend they thought it was their lunch container.

We have several new moms who nurse. They put their breast milk (they pump in a private room) in the fridge, so that makes people careful about taking stuff.

I haven't had anyone take my lunch in a long time.

NPR just did a story on this. I like the pics people sent in response about what they did to protect their food.

laxative cookies/brownies/cake/crumble

will do the trick every time never done it at the office only in college student flat fridges

also labelling milk as expressed breast milk tends to mean it's there for you when you want it
or add green food colouring ...

Ugh yes! Then I posted this.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/123920155@N08/13991890001/

and the next morning I got this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/123920155@N08/14006836765

That's awesome!

I've always wanted to do something along these lines:
http://www.defensedevices.com/thief-detection-powder-visible.html

This would only work if no one would touch your stuff for innocent reasons such as moving it to get to their food. There is also powder that only shows up under UV which might be cool so that they don't just say they were looking when the notice the color. Going around with a UV light would be pretty weird though.

No one has stolen my food so far. I do have a tempting chobani yogurt in there today though, so I might be back later with a retraction. Usually I cover "extra tempting" items, such as starbucks caramel frappecinno bottles, in a bag so that they people don't see it. It wouldn't stop a dedicated thief but it would stop the crime of opportunity.

It is a fireable offense at my company.

MysteriousMerlin

We label our stuff, so nothing really gets taken. If it doesn't have a name on it, it's free to use.

We have a problem with people bringing stuff in and keeping it in the fridge for way too long. If it's there on Friday, and still there Monday, it's thrown in the trash.

I don't have that problem at my work as I work in a small office for two lawyers. One rarely ever actually eats at work and the other one eats out 95% of the time. Even if I did put something in the mini-fridge they wouldn't touch it. However, the lawyer who eats out 95% of the time, does sometime put some things in our fridge and forgets about it. Leaving me to clean it out. (I have to do the office cleaning)


I used to work in a call center where there was a large industrial fridge for people to use. I personally would not use it as I felt better leaving my food in my locker. (At that time I wasn't eating healthy like I am now and it wouldn't always need a fridge). I never had things taken, but I have friends who did.

I used to have an office tenant that would drink my creamer, even though it had my name on it. I caught him doing it every day but I couldn't say anything because I worked for a horrible man in a horrible atmosphere. So I spit in my creamer and took satisfaction in the fact that he drank my spit every morning. Totally worth drinking my own spit.

This has brought humor and joy to my life in light of my recent disappointment in my peers. For this I thank you. :drinker:

Bahaha! The crime scene photo one is by far the best one!

As well it should be. In our old building, we used to have cameras in the lunchroom. They haven't installed them here....yet.

Make chicken enchiladas with cat food.

lmao, good one!:laugh:

This one may not work in the fridge though...

Is people taking food in the office that bad? I always hear about that... People these days... I couldn't do that. Stealing is stealing is stealing.... /:

As said before hire Ninja's to hind out and provide punches in the private parts.

Place I used to work, someone was drinking my protein shakes, so of course I did the ex-lax trick. Never had one go missing again. Place I work now, a lady here would pump at work and place the milk in a discreet container. Well, needless to say her milk started disappearing... She placed a note on the fridge explaining what was going missing and it ceased.

Topsking2010

I bring my lunch and use therma freeze and it's keeps my food cold all day!!!

Butrovich

Two options:

(1) Use chocolate-flavored exlax in brownies.

(2) Sprinkle copious amounts of Ambien in any food.

Either way, you will find out soon enough who is stealing your food.

I'm very fortunate that I'm the only employee here. The boss prefers fast food, so the fridge is MINE, ALL MINE...MUAHHHAHAHAHAHA :laugh:

ETA: MFP really needs to add an "evil laugh" smiley.

k8blujay2

I've had it happen a few times. It made me mad at first, but then I figured maybe they needed it more than I did. How bad would it suck to be hungry at work all day because you couldn't afford lunch? So it doesn't make me mad anymore, although sometimes it makes me sad, for whoever took it and sometimes for me, if I was really looking forward to whatever I brought.

If that was the case, then if it were me, I would appreciate a note... But I'm of the type that I don't mind sharing... just give me a heads up... oh and don't spoil the rest of my food thanks, that would piss me off even more than eating it.

Derpes

We have two refrigerators in the nearest breakroom and half of the food looks like a science project. It is nasty, but food thieves know better around here.

Stealing is stealing. There can be exceptions if someone is hungry and cannot afford food. But to take food from someone that has a hard time affording food to in no better.

If the theif is leaving out food tho, then they are being greedy, rude, and wasteful. That mean they are not starving. If there is something in the employee handbook about this make sure that everyone know about it. Also tell your boss because you just lost several meals that you need yourself.

i would raise hell, stealing is stealing, and its just plain rude. i would definitely do one of the tricks mentioned above involving ex-lax or something similar. it may be harsh but its exactly what they deserve
