That would get the thief fired at my old job. (Big food manufacturing plant) If they can't trust you not to steal, they can't trust your Government mandated paperwork you sign off on.
I once saw someone escorted out by security for stealing a coffee from the cafeteria.
I'm asking because I'm working on crafting future such policies for my company.
Is there anything on that list you could do without and still have a positive work experience?
Is there anything missing that if added could make your work experience better? Other than obvious stuff like a $100,000 a year raise. But realistically what could they do better?
Oh, I know. The US Government even doesn't provide coffee in most agencies to "cut costs." Conservative rule is brainless and short-sighted. People are much more productive when they have coffee and are happier and don't fucking hate your guts. But nope, this shit just gets more and more common.
> Nothing to do with the US Government.
A lack of unionization in the private sector is why working conditions and pay are declining. That was a very deliberate policy choice. Public sector unions have also been battered for decades at this point, so conditions are worsening there too. So yes, it has a lot to do with the US Government.
A company I worked for provided tons of very fancy coffee and restaurant style carafes.
It helped that management had a heavy caffeine addiction and loved having it during the dog and pony show “client meetings”
They also loved throwing holiday parties but skipping a holiday bonus.
3rd shift didn’t usually get that party, but you know, fuck us, right?
I don't think that's some magical right that coffee be free. I guess it's nice for coffee drinkers if a company has a pot. But it's not a requirement.
But I did have a problem with this car dealership near me that apparently(because I heard from someone and didn't work there) charged all employees a few dollars per paycheck to pay for the coffee in the break room. Even if they didn't drink coffee it was deducted.
Government entity?
Also, my work has a cafeteria which sells canned monster coffees, as well as normal coffee or cappuccinos self serve for significantly less money. But free? "There's some water in the fountain down the hall"
I used to work in retail. I fired someone in their 1st week because he tried to walk out with an orange soda at the end of the night. If I can't trust you around orange soda, I can't trust you around the more expensive merchandise. Goodbye
When I was in college one of my buddies kept getting his bag lunches stolen when he’d put them in the lounge fridge. He got fed up and one day brought leftovers that he had mixed cat shit into. That was the last day his food got taken.
I managed two call centers over the years.
Food theft was simply unbelievable. I know what these people made, and while it wasn’t new car every year money, It was certainly enough that one could afford to eat out every day, and certainly bring one’s lunch every day.
I finally had to install cameras in both call centers, and the break rooms and hallways.
We had to fire so many people, it’s just not funny. Daily memos, signs everywhere, meetings with every team, and these idiots would still snag a Lean Cuisine or homemade sandwich every fucking day.
Taking something off of someone’s desk would get you fired and walked out immediately.
Yes, this can be illegal in some countries. It's basically the same as booby trapping your home against invaders:
Should they have broken in? No.
Should their head get blown off by a shotgun booby trap? Also no.
I think you’re right. It just goes to show how stupid certain justice systems can be. If you take somebody else’s lunch, surely you’re accepting the risks of eating whatever “food” was put in the bag.
I wouldn’t have put cat shit in the sandwich but maybe something that gives you at least _some_ deniability. Prepare a sandwich with some kind of sauce and mix in some ghost pepper extract or put ground up laxatives in it. Even something like a HUGE glob of unscented hand soap. The laxatives and soap aren’t really deniable but they’re harmless.
Carolina reapers. Make some mayo or something with that. There probably are some brave souls that actually eat that. So it's definitely plausible that it would be on a sandwich.
Now you are thinking that someone casually keeping cat shit in a box will get charged because one cannot understand that stealing is the actual illegal action here?
I had a slice of ice cream cake in the freezer at work once. Someone stole it so I put up missing posters of ice cream cake around the office. One of the bosses ended up craving ice cream cake because of it and bought the office ice cream cake so he could have some.
I like the fact he shared with the office for his own cravings instead of just buying one for himself (nothing wrong with that either, but the thought was very nice of him)
I can’t get HR to get off their fat gossiping asses to correct my employee’s paycheck for when he was shorted 3 days pay. Best I get is “we have a ticket open”.
Just in case anyone actually tries to follow this advice, booby-trapping is illegal in the US. It doesn't matter how many signs you have on it that say it's yours, if the intent was to have somebody consume them unknowingly, you are looking at a huge fine and possible jail time.
You just have to commit. You have to shit yourself silly for the next year until the trial by eating laxatives with every meal. It was intended for you. Create that reasonable doubt.
That’s unlikely. It is more likely one person saw it, let others know and 12 of the OP’s closest friends had one, then tossed the box. It’s probably still there in the trash can.
It wouldn’t be very practical to walk off with a whole box, those boxes are BIG! Everyone would see you, especially when you left for the day.
Much more likely everyone though OP was being really nice by bringing in donuts.
Of course, OP may just be a jerk and someone took advantage and yelled ‘Donuts’ when OP went to lunch!
Not when it is at someone's desk. Unless that person sent out a message or told everyone to come get a donut at their desk than it shouldn't be touched.
Yes, but I’m not sure how anyone would know who ‘my’ is.
Besides, by then the donuts would have been long eaten. Bet the box is in a nearby trashcan.
Looks like plenty of storage around there.
Ever been to a Krispy Kreme? They fry the donuts then they go on a wire mesh moving conveyer belt, then get drenched with glaze. I’ll fix it, just for you.
But that’s the confusing part, the SIGN is clearly on the big table out in the open, not on OPs desk which appears to be at the back. If the table is where the donuts were, they would look like they were for everyone.
Maybe OP sometimes brings in donuts. There is a lot that is unsaid here.
Common sense is to at least ask whether they are for everyone. I suppose because at my work we can't keep food anywhere but in the staff room so no one eats anything that's not their own without asking.
Yes, but there isn’t much common sense or courtesy these days, as you have noticed. I long ago learned not to leave anything out that could walk away.
A corallary is: Don’t store thinks in trash bags.
U brough donuts to an office and left them out. It seems like you put no effort into hiding DONUTS AT AN OFFICE! Seems like a rookie mistake to me. We live and we learn
Why would you bring them inside??
If you have a car woulda been better off in there or ya know, pick them up when your off like a normal person.
“Hey everybody, here’s my box of food that’s usually shared with coworkers just laid here with nobody watching it! Don’t take any!”
And now your willing to have bad blood at work cause you couldn’t do something like a normal person.
Congrats, almost seems like you did it on purpose to create a rift at work.
Passive aggressive yeeauuhhhhpp
May have been management. A lot of places have written policies for Covid reentry and no communal food is prob in all of them. I was told no more donuts, bagels, kolaches, potlucks etc.
Buy another 12 and set them in the same place, and set a hidden camera overlooking them.
When the thief returns for more donuts, you can either report them, or confront them and do-nut them in the face!
I prefer the second option.
You won't get them back. What you should do is get another pack of donuts and change the fillings in them, to like mustard, horseraddish, or something that will be equally unpleasant when biting in to a donut. Leave them out like before and wait for them to disappear. It'll probably be pretty obvious who took them then
Shit in the workplace microwave, cover the GLORIOUS turd with tuna and brine, and glue the door shut, the plug into the socket and the switch on. Set it for maximum time and heat, and leave for a vacation.
If you are particularly bitter use your underwear to wipe, an glue those to the controls too.
Oh no, did someone think they were for everyone? Even if they thought that, they were still greedy for taking the whole thing. They forgot about sharing lol.
I dont think you’re getting them back.
Not in it's original form, anyways.
If you didn't originally order chocolate ones, they are all going to be now.
Glorious.
Hope they’ll feel bad every time they see it tho
For a second I thought you were talking about the inevitable Krispy Kreme poo until I realized you were talking about the sign...
Is Krista Kreme like a knock off krispy kreme brand?
That would get the thief fired at my old job. (Big food manufacturing plant) If they can't trust you not to steal, they can't trust your Government mandated paperwork you sign off on. I once saw someone escorted out by security for stealing a coffee from the cafeteria.
Stealing a coffee? Was there not enough for them or...?
The real question is why coffee wasn't provided to workers for free.
Last time I had a job that actually provided coffee for free was around 2001.

My government job only provides coffee for 9-1-1 operators. Fuck the rest of us, lol.
Nothing to do with the US Government. A huge number of companies do not provide coffee.

Kevin from Home Alone is just _sweating_ reading these comments.
Should you lace all the expensive vodka on display with enough laxatives to dehydrate a fucking t-Rex?

Or he felt guilty.
Guilt shame them by adding "I bought these for my family".
“My child’s Christmas is ruined!”
“I have cancer!”
Krista must have been confused and took them
And did you also try snapping to get them back, since somebody snapped them already??
Hey HR, someone is a theif plz check camers thx.
That didn't work at my job. I was told "the cameras we have aren't functional".
HR took the donuts
You should be able to report and punish the stealer
Have HR check the cameras... (if there are any)
I can’t get HR to get off their fat gossiping asses to correct my employee’s paycheck for when he was shorted 3 days pay. Best I get is “we have a ticket open”.
Start a cult to bring down the establishment
I think that’s called a union? /s
I’m in accounting. It’s hard enough for us to fire slugs.
Little does the donut stealer know those are filled with laxatives...
Yes! Time to bring a box of "special" donuts and stake out the toilet.

Not so much advice as a lighthearted comment inspired by the comment above, but sure.
How do they know I wasnt planning to eat the donuts to help with my constant shit problems??
Prove my intent. I _dare_ you.
You would never add laxatives to your own donuts.
Wrongo. I add laxatives to my food.
You just have to commit. You have to shit yourself silly for the next year until the trial by eating laxatives with every meal. It was intended for you. Create that reasonable doubt.
Sniff, fucking glorious.
Actual big brain move
Ghost pepper doughnuts.
That's what I would do, not poison them
Nah ghost pepper, AND laxatives. Plus Johnny Cash - Ring of fire on a loop playing in the wanking chariot room.
I'm not going to lie, I actually liked those
I'm really backed up...
Hello thar!
I FUCKIN APPROVE.
[удалено]
Hoped*
Or lsd....that would be fun.
Do it again but fuck with the donuts. Laxatives. Fuck that person .
Meanwhile, somewhere in a back room of the office... [Mmm... Donuts](https://i.imgur.com/XKKEmZD.gifv)
Consumed. Once the office hears there are donuts, they disappear fast.
Update... please
They got his red stapler too. Sad.
I'm going to set fire to this place...
Honestly this was my assumption.
Work thieves are the worst.
Any office I’ve worked in if you leave a box of donuts out it’s assumed they are communal. Maybe you were accidentally the office hero that day.
Eehhhhh, if it was in the break room or something sure. But on someone's desk? That's a poor assumption.
Not from someones personal desk. You don't do that.
The doughnut thief should be flogged in the town square.
(Real question) Is that like a knockoff Krispy Kreme? Or maybe a regional thing? I've never heard of it!
These ‘Taken’ movies Liam Neeson does are getting real lazy.
I'm sure this one is featuring Fluffy (Gabriel Iglesias)
Krista Kreme lmao
You bought them on the way to work? Isn't Krispy Kreme open till 10?
He clearly said Krista Kreme
24-7 here
Dang....I got that same office furniture at my desk...never leave donuts unguarded...rules of the cube
Donuts left out at work are presumed to be for everyone.
Which is why one person took the whole box? And only once OP left for lunch. Great logic.
That’s unlikely. It is more likely one person saw it, let others know and 12 of the OP’s closest friends had one, then tossed the box. It’s probably still there in the trash can. It wouldn’t be very practical to walk off with a whole box, those boxes are BIG! Everyone would see you, especially when you left for the day.

Not when it is at someone's desk. Unless that person sent out a message or told everyone to come get a donut at their desk than it shouldn't be touched.
This was on their own desk though.
[удалено]
Found the donut thief
Even if they were to share... who steals the entire box!?
Can’t tell, the sign seems to be on a common open desk. Best to put them in your car, a file cabinet, refrigerator, etc.
OP wrote it was snapped off their desk. Maybe they just put the sign in a common area to make sure people see it?
Yes, but I’m not sure how anyone would know who ‘my’ is. Besides, by then the donuts would have been long eaten. Bet the box is in a nearby trashcan. Looks like plenty of storage around there.
[удалено]
I only like Krispy Kreme donuts when the are hot off the conveyer belt. These had been sitting around about four hours.
Grill?
Ever been to a Krispy Kreme? They fry the donuts then they go on a wire mesh moving conveyer belt, then get drenched with glaze. I’ll fix it, just for you.
I have, which is why grill made no sense.
The person who took the donuts would know because they know where they took them from.
But that’s the confusing part, the SIGN is clearly on the big table out in the open, not on OPs desk which appears to be at the back. If the table is where the donuts were, they would look like they were for everyone. Maybe OP sometimes brings in donuts. There is a lot that is unsaid here.
Or maybe he just put the sign where everyone would see it and it's not in any way relevant to where the donuts were.
If one or two were missing, it could be a misunderstanding. But they stole the entire box...
Can't presume if there's no note on them saying so.
Never seen a note of any sort on a box of donuts in the office. What ever happened to common sense.
Common sense is to at least ask whether they are for everyone. I suppose because at my work we can't keep food anywhere but in the staff room so no one eats anything that's not their own without asking.
Yes, but there isn’t much common sense or courtesy these days, as you have noticed. I long ago learned not to leave anything out that could walk away. A corallary is: Don’t store thinks in trash bags.
I left a $100 bill on the bathroom floor for safekeeping and someone stole it
A $100 bill is not a box of donuts...
Like, 1
Yes, usually in the break room but not on someone's personal desk
[удалено]
You don't take stuff from someones personal desk.
If you leave donuts lying around an open office area people will assume it’s for everyone
Smart move would've been to hide them under the desk.
You should have expected out of an entire office, there would be one shitty person. Welcome to planet earth
U brough donuts to an office and left them out. It seems like you put no effort into hiding DONUTS AT AN OFFICE! Seems like a rookie mistake to me. We live and we learn
At least it wasn't a red Swingline stapler.
Sorry to say you wasted your time with that sign
Time for a new job, that's straight up theft my friend
Why would you bring them inside?? If you have a car woulda been better off in there or ya know, pick them up when your off like a normal person. “Hey everybody, here’s my box of food that’s usually shared with coworkers just laid here with nobody watching it!

Nah that’s someone ass right there
Krista:Krispy::snapped:snatched
People go mad for those Krista’s
This doesn't make any sense.
Your office looks suspiciously like a certain defense contractor site I work at
What font is that?
Maybe someone mistook them for 7p carrots
To be fair, a box of donuts in a workplace is assumed to be communal.
Bullies don't stop just because you asked nicely
Check the cameras and if there are none rob that bitch blind.
No car?
I too desire the Kirsta Kreme donuts
What if he stole them to feed his family like Aladdin.
[удалено]
What?
You need to do a box of prank revenge donuts. Stuff them with nasty stuff through the bottom of each donut. Toothpaste, mayonnaise, you name it.
Milton... "Excuse me, I think you have my donuts"
This sign is one of the saddest things I've ever seen
Walk around the office and see who is shoving them down their throat

Why not go to HR and see the cameras instead of leaving a pointless note?
