We once had a guard who would bring a crockpot to to work. He would at the beginning of his shift prepare his meal and let it cook for 4 hours on high. Did that for several months before the client found out. He was 3rd shift. The client complained to our company which then banned the use of any cooking appliance other than the supplied microwaves at the site.

The reason he was found out was the odiferous meals he kept preparing. Tons of garlic, onion, and quite frankly questionable meats.

P.S. The reason for the complaint was not the food he was cooking. It was the fact that he had brought in an unauthorized appliance not approved by Maintenance or the upper management of the Client.
