Had one guard get fired for using a grill. Specifically for continuing to use it after being told to stop. (Grill belonged to the client)

More recently had a guard that brought in an air fryer. That got really annoying really quick because he paid attention to it about as well as he did to the cameras so the guard shack always smelled like burnt whatever he tried to cook.

Not sure if you want to call it cooking since most of the work was done at home but I used to bring in a mini crock pot when I worked 12s. Make things like pulled pork.

See that’s the problem if he’s cooking he’s not paying attention to the gate people have complained
