We had a break room rip off one year. Could not catch. So we made some amazing enchiladas with a BIT of stool softener. Placed signs, danger, do not eat special enchiladas for party in three languages, English, Tagalog, Spanish and ebonics.
We caught her about two hours later. Kinda dangerous what we did but it was worth it seeing that woman logging a lot of time on the toilet.
No one was fired and no more food was stolen. All had a laugh including the culprit
Sealed tuna sandwich
With the wrapper glued
It IS petty. I used to arrange and organize receptions at an institution. I had to let maintenance know what time to come and clean the room and empty the trash cans afterwards. I always left them the remaining food on the table with a note thanking the janitors for their assistance and to please help themselves to the leftovers. They were not very well paid and many of them took it home for their evening meal.
years ago, worked as a janitor...minimum wage. most cleaning staff are constantly taking items that are thrown out at work. The reason that it’s done for survival when living on the margins you do this to make finances work. someone eating an abandoned tuna sandwich is doing it because they are hungry and don’t consistently have money to feed themselves. getting upset and firing someone over it is the prerogative of the company but is also an example of the banality of evil...there was a choice that the owners or manager had, and it was not one of compassion.
If an employee will steal some things, they will steal other things too - she should be fired.
Probably a Christian.
Cleaning during the night shift - overnight. Sandwich headed toward stale . . . then trash.
Fired for being Christian while eating a sandwich.
‘Tis England, where they do that: Find an excuse to make life difficult for Christians.
