Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, "gee, i didn't bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some"? These kinds of tactics don't come from nowhere

A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.
One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.
Plot twist: one guy brought in 3 locked milks.
Or one guy keeps bringing in milk, and another guy keeps locking that guy’s milk.
Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.
I think that's the point if you read between the lines. I don't think this shit post is arguing that those who lock their milk aren't the victims here.
But on second reading idk
New interview question: "please show me the inside of the common refrigerator."
Stop stealing their stuff, scumbag.
Maybe they wouldn't have to do that if you'd stop stealing the milk, Brenda
LOL, so I'm pretty sure her name really is Brenda. Years ago, we did a Pi(e) day thing. And one of the ladies, who complained to management about an optional employee lead event (myself and some other people just threw it together) where we offered food to people who didn't participate, went to the fridge and was overheard saying how her husband and kid would like the pie and just stole a whole goddamn pie as she left.
Someone emptied my lunchbox and left it on the counter, i've had a padlock on it ever since.
My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn't take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.
Where is your workplace and where are the security camera blindspots.
Its in a hospital and as far as I am aware there's no cameras in the break room.
Ok good hospitals have enough room first read through this, then tell me if you are still confused about the plan.

It's imperative yall do it without any cameras around.
Y’all nasty.
please don't kink shame
The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.
udder distrust. it was right there
Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you have to milk the pun for all it’s worth.
don't be so sour... milk is for everyone
Sorry, I've been a vegan for long enough that I don't remember the names for all the animal bits, even in my native tongue let alone english :)
It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.
Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.
In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.
About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn't quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.
Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y'all have maintained?
I've worked at engineering offices here in Australia that provided actual full on espresso machines. I don't get that now I'm in the public service.
We still have coffee and creamer, but it's the worst shit imaginable, just burnt beans and powdered creamer. I was pissed when I went to our HQ in another state, which is smaller than our site and they had a good brand from my city and multiple real creamers. They had a free soda fountain too which we don't have, but I'm trying to cut that shit outta my life so that's probably for the best.
I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain ...
so I've had tea in Ireland and the UK, and my observation is that most people just use an ounce of milk for a cuppa, right?
how much tea is this type of freak, that needs this much milk at work, drinking?
This picture makes my tummy hurt just looking at it. I have a bit of lactose intolerance, but even with lactose free milk.....I couldn't imagine just pounding down a tall glass of milk.
Try A2 milk. It's from cows that produce milk without a specific protein that tends to bother lactose intolerant people.
Lactose free still bothers me to some degree, but A2 doesn't as much. The biggest issue it has is the sky high price.
Eh, I'm not a big enough fan of milk to really go out of my way to drink it. Mainly just lactose free milk for cooking/baking.
How does that work since lactose isn't a protein? Is it just that the affected people assumed they were intolerant of lactose, but it was actually the protein?
That's the supposition, yeah. That some people just assume its lactose intolerance when it's really "common milk protien" intolerance. Since this other milk comes from cows without that protein in the milk, it shouldn't bother you as much.
That's effectively where I'm at. A2 bothers me less than normal milk, but not to the degree that i can just drink it or anything. If i cant avoid milk, I try to cook/bake with A2 if possible, and lactose free if not. Both help, but the A2 helps more. Lactose free A2 would probably be best for me, but ive never seen it in stores.
Why does one of the jugs have an infection warning on it? Are these bio samples at a lab and the locks are a safety measure?
How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It's about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.
Trent the milk guzzler arrives at 6 and drinks it all.
Fuck you Trent!
Then you run into the problem of people using excessive amounts of free milk leaving others without the chance to even get any. Better and safer to bring your own if you rely on it.
It works here. Every morning they go round the fridges (it's a big place) and bung another 4 pints in if it's getting low. The only time it didn't work was after a long weekend, when the bottle looked too full to replace but it was starting to go manky because it had been sitting too long after it was opened. I just went to another fridge with good milk.
I kind of do. One of the managers hides supplies we need because we "use too much of it" or something and it affects the budget. We need to ask her for the supplies if we need it. So, I just stopped doing the work that requires those supplies. Her precious budget is safe.
This woman is a nightmare, her name is Susan, and Susan recently started swallowing the supplies and we have to wait for her to poop them out if we want to use them. And as if that wasn't bad enough she makes us talk her out for a walk whenever we want anything. Yesterday I took Susan for a walk and had to wait ten minutes for her to shit out a stapler.
Totally agree. My guide is always if they don't care then I don't care. Want to make me jump through hoops to do my job. Fuck you.
Ass crack bandit!
Troy Barnes: So please, approve the Dean's new security measure called "Troy's law.", because a camera in the bathroom...
[He chokes up]
Troy Barnes: is better than a quarter in your butt.
Dean Pelton: As we've seen, the Ass Crack Bandit can be defeated by using the three "B"s: Belts, briefs, and buddies. Good. The bandit always gets his victims when they're alone. Bend over with friends over.
I work at a place that went from having bbq's and get togethers to... well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO'ing and being replaced by an external hire. I'm not worried at all though. In fact, I'm kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D
My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I'm almost grateful to them for being such assholes.
