Current Events > Trashy ass night cleaning crew steals our office's chocolate

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pathetic poor ghetto people doing the cleaning at night in our office are eating everything they see. You can't leave chocolate on your desk without finding crumbs on your chair and missing pieces. But they also go through drawers apparently and steal food in those.

How can I get back to them in the harshest but legal manner?

lol

go to their house and eat their chocolate.

sweet vengeance bro

I've heard of some people combatting this sort of thing with ghost pepper extract, though you could potentially get in trouble for that.
---

Don't leave food around.
---

While this is totally plausible, if feel like it's made up.

Well I lock everything now. Kinda sad that I can't trust adults not to be disgusting ghetto trash.

I still want to punish them though

Best thing to do is document when you realize something has gone missing, bring it up with your manager who will in turn bring it up with the cleaning company

It's just food, dude. Don't leave any more around and it won't be an issue any more.

It is an issue. Just because it's food doesn't make stealing okay. I personally think he should talk with management and try to get the offenders from the cleaning company fired instead of adding something to the food, but stealing is not okay and scumbag thieves need to be dealt with one way or another.

Probably wont work though... My companys office has 3 laptops, multiple laser toner cartridges, bubble wrap, and postage from our electronic meter stolen in the last year. Now we just keep everything locked up. The property managers wont replace the cleaning crew :(.

How about leaving a typed note saying "please stop taking or food, if you don't we will report you to your manager"? Then they have fair warning right.

I think firing somebody for eating food is really harsh.

Yeah but it's only chocolate, some people won't think of it as stealing unless it is pointed out to them. You know what I mean.

Someone stole my buddies phone charger and headphones. It was a fast wireless charger too for his note .

Poison your food with some ultra hot capsaicin extract.

I did that to someone I knew was stealing food, they never stole my food again after that and they went home sick that day because fuck them.

No I don't know what you mean. There's no way these people are taking items from peoples' desks while those people aren't there and don't know it's wrong. It's not as though they are taking food from a common area.

I think people who use their job as a means to steal should be fired from that job, yes. And if the problem persists then the contract with that company should be cancelled.

Likewise, if you hire someone to clean your house and it turns out they've been going in your cabinets or refrigerator and taking food without permission, would you continue to employ this person? Would you allow them to maintain a position of trust after they stole from you?

Well I disagree, I think that the punishment should be proportional to the crime. I think firing somebody in this case is overkill.

The problems started the day after the old cleaning company guy retired. Im addition, everyone in the company still has access to all of the same stuff without it being taken since being locked up.

Why? Never trust anyone who steals other people's stuff.

Why? Never trust anyone who steals other people's stuff.

Because to me seeking out food to steal is a sign of desperation. I'd rather investigate and find the culprits circumstances before choosing to give them a warning (at most). Cutting off somebodies income over this is not right, it is a minor mistake and does not necessarily mean the person is untrustworthy.

That's between them and the company they work for. Their personal circumstances are not relevant to the people getting stolen from, and at the very least I would expect to not see that individual in my office again.

Put the chocolate under your balls, then leave it out

Film yourself doing it, then confront them w that footage and the footage on the security camera of them eating it

Then inquire how it feels to have free ball sweat chocolate AND be a ghetto janitor?
---

Is TC crying about like Hershey kisses left for everyone to eat? Or like a hidden chocolate bar in a drawer?

You should be thanking them - you all clearly have issues if you keep stuffing your desks with fucking candy bars...

I bet you all bleed chocolate and caramel.

Minor mistake? Desperation? Let me steal food from you constantly then.

So if I grab a banana while grocery shopping, eat it, and toss out the peel without paying for it; I shouldn't go to jail or get banned from that grocery because it was a minor offense that doesn't fit the crime. I should just get a warning at most.

Is that what some of you guys are saying? It's just one 40 cent banana after all.

Write a polite note "Please don't eat any food left in the office, thanks! :) ^___^"

and then smear your sweaty ballsack all over the food just in case they eat it anyway

Ex-lax. Youll never be questioned cause then theyd have to admit they were stealing the food and candy.

Loving this and the balls sweat suggestion. I wonder if I can actually get in trouble for capsaicin though

And to whoever asked how I know it's them, I'm the last to leave in the evening.
And my coworker also has had his Lindor stolen from his drawers.

I'm aware my reaction is petty, I don't care. You don't steal stuff bought with my easy earned money from me with your grubby little poor person hands and go unpunished.

Legally? Well, they would have to fess up to stealing your property ultimately and you're using a perfectly legal food supplement.

I make less money than you, and I am hungry. Now give me all your food.

I've made my points, play dumb/ridicule them if you like.
