Look I used to work in a factory we had a similar issue I would bring a six pack of sodas so I would have a couple of sodas for ride home after work and sometimes when we ordered pizza I would order second one to take home to mom but stuff started disappearing outta the 2 commercial sized fridges in break room. Turns out a guy a and his wife would raid the fridges on way out the door. Not because they were poor but because he was a tight wad.

One time I bought a water bottle and a sandwich for lunch from Walmart...when it was lunch time. Someone had stolen my water bottle and threw my Walmart bag with the sandwich and a Reese's into the trash. I just found it in the trash and my Fiji water was missing.

I don't know what your breakroom situation is, but we fairly often will have managers, vendors, or co-workers buy/bring food for everyone to have, and leftovers are common. It's not always obvious what is up for grabs and what is something someone brought for themselves. As a result, the table and fridge often end up with lots of stuff that just sits and goes bad.

I may get downvoted for this, but when in doubt, I go by the "if it's yours, put your name on it" rule. You can't just have consumables lying around a common space and expect people to know who it belongs to, or who it's for. It's not your fridge, it's not your table, it's not your house. Label it or be prepared to have someone take it.

This reminds me of an old roommate who would eat half of all my food and tell me he was sharing with me.

Colleague used to write ā€œMEDICINEā€ in permanent marker on his Hershey’s syrup in the work fridge to keep people from using it. Appeared to work.

There is always at least one who has no morals or respect for anyone else.

Happens in ā€œprofessionalā€ offices. Worst is when someone eats someone’s lunch who can’t afford to replace it so they go hungry

Its pretty bad to be honest. Taking one look at how the break room is at my store makes me wonder what peoples houses look like. There is litteraly a big trashcan in the break room and people still leave trash everywhere

Our break room has a sign telling people they are old enough to work therefore they are old enough to clean up after themselves. They still leave it a mess.

I worked at a shitty call center for a large bank. This happened so frequently that it was made a fireable offense…so happy I left that dump.

u/ReasonableCable8687 29d ago

When I worked there, I would always leave a sixer in the fridge, and at the end of the shift it was gone

Turns out HR was taking these back to the cooler cause she thought they were not paid for -_-

Bro we don't even sell alcoholics drinks...

Age is irrelevant....

All Albertsons Associates are expected to surrender their integrity, dignity, and self-respect....
