How are people so chill about co-workers stealing food? (lemmy.ca)

Seriously I see these posts all the time about people who have a co-worker who steals food so they make gross food to 'get back at them' cause HR doesn't do anything.

Legit question but how do you not just freak out and yell at the person? If a co-worker stole my food the 1st time I'd yell at them and curse them out, the 2nd time I'd threaten to shove the food in their fat face next time I see it happen. If HR didn't do anything I'd threaten to quit and sue if they claimed I don't get EI because it's a toxic work environment.

I just don't get how people are so passive when co-workers literally steal from them? I'd be fucking livid.

Um yea I think thats just social media attention seeking. I don't think that is any more common than something like shoplifting.

Reddit loves to upvote drama.

Maybe it varies by industry, but I've been a white collar desk jockey for 18 years and I've never once heard of lunch theft in real life, only seen on social media.

That doesn’t say much, shoplifting is super common.

Are you really going to yell over someone accidentally taking the wrong ham and cheese sandwich?

I think I'd just bring extra food the next day so both I and they can eat. Clearly someone isn't able to bring their own food for whatever reason, and I can't really blame them for choosing to eat when the alternative is starving, even if it is annoying that I missed my lunch that day.

This is the most legitimate answer.

Our children always went to school with extra (our dinner the night before was their lunch for the most part, we always tried to make extra).

Put in laxatives or something that fucks them up

I have wondered since that episode aired how many people were inspired to do it for realsies.
