I worked at an office in which food items frequently went missing from the refrigerator. There was one salesman who worked there, who was very successful/well off, and also who worked very long hours. Everyone sort of suspected him of being the food thief, but it seemed so “out of character”.
When he died unexpectedly, we had no more of the missing food problems.
Several other character flaws became evident over time the time that I knew him. Let’s just say that he presented himself publicly in one way, but it was a dishonest depiction of his real thoughts and attitudes.
What were you guys feeding him?
So what did you put in the food?
A guy that worked for me years ago had an earlier Job at Douglas Aviation working on DC-10’s.
He took his Lunch to work every day and put it in the Staff Room Refrigerator. After his Lunch mysteriously disappeared a few times, his Wife put a Dog Food Sandwich in his Lunch.
He put in in the Refrigerator at work and the next day it also mysteriously disappeared.
After that his Lunch was never stolen again. #;^)
Well, he was in Sales. Salespeople are personality chameleons. Showing whatever persona they need to, in order to maximize their desired outcome.
I worked at the GEICO phone center one summer, they decided to give everyone a lunch box, the next day the fridge was half full of the same lunch boxes, only about 3 people had the sense to put their name on the box. That was 25 years ago, I have a Cannon camera and lens in that box today, still using it.
