The wasted space bothers me more. If I am bringing milk for my own coffee, I decant it into a small container. If bringing lunch that needs refrigerated, I take it out of the insulated lunch bag before putting it in the refrigerator! I see huge insulated lunch bags in there, are you literally insulating it against refrigeration, and do you need to take up a cubic foot for your sandwich and apple?

So glad I live 5 minutes from work and can go home for lunch. Mostly it's to see the dog but it's also nice not worrying about this crap.
I only ever use our group's mini fridge in our cubicle for a seltzer I drink at the end of the day. Even that is a chaotic fridge filled with rotting food and too many condiments and creamers. I just put a can in to cool in the morning and take it out to drink by the end of the day.
I kind of do. One of the managers hides supplies we need because we "use too much of it" or something and it affects the budget. We need to ask her for the supplies if we need it. So, I just stopped doing the work that requires those supplies. Her precious budget is safe.
This woman is a nightmare, her name is Susan, and Susan recently started swallowing the supplies and we have to wait for her to poop them out if we want to use them. And as if that wasn't bad enough she makes us talk her out for a walk whenever we want anything. Yesterday I took Susan for a walk and had to wait ten minutes for her to shit out a stapler.
Just poke a hole in the side, steal what you need, and tape it shut.
My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn't take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.
Where is your workplace and where are the security camera blindspots.
Its in a hospital and as far as I am aware there's no cameras in the break room.
Ok good hospitals have enough room first read through this, then tell me if you are still confused about the plan.
It's imperative yall do it without any cameras around.

Stop stealing their stuff, scumbag.
Exactly. This is a reaction to people being antisocial to begin with.

Yet another reason why I work remotely.
Fr.
If you're gonna drink skim, save money and use water.
It’s semi-skimmed and it’s the best milk.
Look here, we took this water, put it through the cows, now it's better!
Ah, yes, the cow filter!
Someone emptied my lunchbox and left it on the counter, i've had a padlock on it ever since.
You can buy bags with fake mold, but people will probably see it and throw your food in the trash, so I don't think it really helps.
What’s the point though if it’s empty?
Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, "gee, i didn't bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some"? These kinds of tactics don't come from nowhere
I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:
“ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”
“Oh. It was yours?”
“Why the fuck would you do that??”
“Well i didn’t know it was yours”
“But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”
“People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”
Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
Put rocks in it and if they complain about their broken teeth you tell that you're trying to fix your mineral deficiency.
We have to label things so they can get eaten. We literally have a "this is communist milk, it's for everyone".
When I was in the Navy, a dude kept eating my fucking chips and salsa. It was a small work center, we all knew whose shit was whose in our tiny fridge. So one day I put really fucking hot hot sauce in my salsa and left it in the fridge. Motherfucker has the gall to get pissed at me like I'm the asshole. He didn't eat my salsa again after that.
what a coincidence, i'm eating ghost pepper salsa right now. so you're saying stealing lunches is a good way to try new hot sauces
A guy was drinking and eating people's food at a job I had.
One day someone peed in a pepsi can and put it back in the fridge.
Later the guy comes out of the kitchen screaming he's gonna punch whoever did that.
The Big boss comes out of his office and asks him why he drank someone else open can? And when he almost got calm the boss told him to leave and never come back, since he said he would hit someone and that taking sips out of others drinks was unsanitary.
It was soooo funny to see him leave in rage, hit the store sign and hurt himself doing so.
The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job. The boss told him "next time to come to me before taking drastic actions" and all was swell.
In the end it was a beautiful day!
The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job
It was a fucked up thing he did, but it did give all of you a really funny story to share. Except for the piss-drinker, he's not sharing that with anyone if he can help it.
Would I know what it tasted like if it were in a Pepsi can?
I had a roommate burn a bunch of shit from our garage because he didn't know who owned it.
He's like, "I asked the other roommate and he said it wasn't his so I figured it was just here with the apartment."
"Motherfucker there are 3 people that live here. If it's not yours, and it's not the other guy's, it's probably fucking mine and you should ask before you just light shit on fire."
Normally I'd think it was because he just didn't like me, but after knowing the guy, he was just an actual idiot.

At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people's food. Every time somebody complained he'd put up a sign and start "investigating", but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn't care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
I'm surprised the HR guy didn't get the shit kicked out of him
So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.
Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn't cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she'd go right back in the fridge.
Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like "FOR FRIDAY'S DINNER." It didn't matter... You'd go in and there'd be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. "Oh, I didn't know it was for today." "IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT'S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!" "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
It didn't stop her, either... The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.
Just start calling her The Food Thief in front of people at every opportunity. Public shaming can be powerful.

A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.
One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.

Maybe they wouldn't have to do that if you'd stop stealing the milk, Brenda
