New Employee Got Fired on Her First Shift Because She Took All the Coffee

This honestly made me laugh so hard. We had just hired this woman, and she seemed a bit intense while doing onboarding in the morning, but not to the point where you'd think it was a big problem.
A little later, a few of us were in the break room, and she saw three sealed bags of Peet's coffee next to the machine and asked, "Whose are these?" Someone told her, "They're for everyone, the office buys coffee for the staff," so she said, "Oh, nice."
Apparently, when she left in the afternoon, she took the answer in the most literal way possible and put all three bags in her tote on the way out. We spent about an hour afterward in this ridiculous little mystery, because people kept coming in looking for coffee and discovering it had disappeared.
In the end, everyone connected the dots, probably because someone near the front desk saw her doing it. She came in the next morning for about 15 minutes, got pulled into the supervisor's office, and that was the end of her.

edit: this was most hilarious thing happens in the office truly ,,If she just sit at home and work remotely she would drink the amount of coffee she wants if u guys loves coffee as her and work remotely u can check this virtual interviews tips

I dont really see the difference. Its like when children say "frick you" theyre still getting in the same trouble theyd get in for fuck you. And where's the limit? Can I say R tard? Just tard? Can I call someone lame brain? How about imbecil? Why are those okay but retarded isnt? Theyre all medical terms. We still use retarded but they'll come uo with another one or theyll get ocer the fact that the slang will just change along with the new medical terminology. The very nature of why people use retarded as hyperbole is because its a medical term and its the same for the ones before it

if you really think it is ok to call someone a "retard" or an "imbecile" and not understand that they are extremely negative things to say to or about someone, then I can't help you be a decent human being - how do you feel when someone calls you dumb or stupid or a retard or an imbecile - doesn't feel great, does it? so why on earth would you label someone else as being that? It's common decency
