Employee Notices Her Food Missing, Catches The Shameless Office Theif With A Nanny Cam

Who thinks stealing food is okay?

Theft is theft no matter how you look at it or whatever spin you put on it. However, job culture is different. As many employees think just having a little bite of someone else’s food is okay. After all, if they didn’t want the food eaten, why did they put it in the fridge at work? That is probably the sort of thinking the thief in this story had. As they have no regard for someone’s feelings. This sort of thing is pretty common in most workplaces after all.

I can’t say I have ever faced this situation in whatever place I’ve worked. But then again, I never brought my own food. However, people with allergies have to take serious precautions when eating things. Thus, they usually bring their own snacks from home. That is what this woman always did until she found out that her snacks were being eaten every day. But she could never figure out who was doing it. Until one day she decided to do something about it.

So this is the story of how she finally stood up for herself and caught a food thief.

Most, if not all, people usually just stop bringing food or lock their drawers because of the fear of theft as not everyone likes confrontation. I remember I used to just have my snacks in my own bag rather than putting them somewhere at my last job. However, this is not always possible especially if your food needs to be refrigerated. But hopefully, people will learn to stop doing this. As people stealing food are not actually bad people. They just seem to think there is no harm in eating someone else’s food if they are hungry.

The only thing I can say is that the human mind works in mysterious ways.

Lost of people chimed in with their own stories.
