My very small "Drama" of the day
So, I always eat my breakfast at work, which is usually a fiber one bar, or those oatmeal fiber cookies or a pop tart.
We have a kitchen here upstairs (the executive floor) which I work on. There are a couple drawers in the kitchen and I keep my box of bars, a loaf of bread and whatever else I bring in for muching in there or in the fridge.
I've been here 6 years and have NEVER had a problem with people taking my stuff. The rest of the company downstairs has their own mini fridge and area to prep their food.
Sooo I notice last week that my box of fiber bars looks lower then it should be. Yesterday I look in the box and there are only 2 left. So I take one, toss the box out, and place the last one in the drawer. This morning its GONE! So not only has someone been helping themselves to MY food, but they ate the LAST STINKING ONE!!
There are only 4 people on the executive floor. Me, The graphics guy (he said he didnt eat it), the accountant (he didnt eat it) and the owner....
Also, the 2 salesmen come up stairs a few times a day, and the manufacturing Vp comes up stairs often.
So its either the sales guys, the VP Manf. or the owner.
Do I send out an email saying dont eat my stuff? Do I put a new box in their and keep an eye on it and if it still happens then say something? (remember this is the first time this has happened in the 6 years ive been here) OR do I set up a b00bie trap, and then whenever someone screams and is missing a finger we will know who it is!
Re: My very small "Drama" of the day
I vote boobie trap too.....LOL
Or, I guess you could put a note on your stuff saying "these belong to Agent, do NOT take unless you are AGENT.....this means YOU".
This!!
This. Or, put a note on it asking if anyone takes one to please replace it.
Ditto!
I have a reusable lunch bag that everyone knows is mine, and I sometimes bring several meals worth of stuff at once. When someone started eating my lunches (and I'm the freakin' boss!), I had a mini fridge put in my office.
Make something homemade for breakfast (muffins, etc) lace it with laxatives and wait to see whose racing to the bathroom.
I'd put a decoy box drenched on the inside with black ink. Like when a bank robber gets the tell-tale ink all over his hands and he can't deny it's him!
But seriously, I'd probably just put a label on the box that can't be missed. Definitely no e-mail, otherwise it might end up on passiveaggressivenotes.com!
That's so obnoxious!
I'd either put your name all over your stuff, or keep your food at your desk from now on.
Not that those here don't know stuff is mine, but...
THIS!
Put it all in a plain brown box with a "radioactive" sticker on it.
We had this problem at the college in Denver all the time. One of our military guys put a note on his lunch that said something about how it contained medication and would be bad for the person who ate it. Whoever had been stealing his lunches stopped after that.
Personally, I just keep all my stuff in my desk. Then no one can grab it.
Thats so ridiculous! People are so rude! I like the idea of putting a lable on all the bars that say "This bar has been stolen from..." Like the pens! lol
