I bet each of those cheap ass locks could easily be shimmed open with a piece of a soda can in a few seconds. I would open each one and just leave it on the shelf next to each bottle. I don’t even drink milk. Just to let them know their obnoxious system is pointless
Might be time to find another job

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when you had to go have a chat with HR about that

Most locks are not designed to keep people out of something. They’re to clearly state that they’re not welcome.

And my bike lock is hefty enough to double up as a makeshift warhammer.

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.

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.
mosiacmango@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Try A2 milk. It’s from cows that produce milk without a specific hormone that tends to bother lactose intolerant people.
Lactose free still bothers me to some degree, but A2 is much better. The biggest issue ot has is the sky high price.
Jerb322@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Now I want a tall glass of milk and there is none to have:(
IndiBrony@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

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 …
Dave@lemmy.nz 11 months ago
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.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
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?

Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you have to milk it for all it’s worth.

Come in with some bolt cutters. Free the milk.
cosmictrickster@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bolt cutters? My man, a simple box cutter will knock the top off those flimsy plastic shields.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yeah but then you have plastic sawdust in your milk (lids do not exist)

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

So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.
Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn’t cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she’d go right back in the fridge.
Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like “FOR FRIDAY’S DINNER.” It didn’t matter… You’d go in and there’d be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. “Oh, I didn’t know it was for today.” “IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT’S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!” “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know…”
It didn’t stop her, either… The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.
Almacca@aussie.zone 11 months ago
Just start calling her The Food Thief in front of people at every opportunity. Public shaming can be powerful.
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Likely that was her only food source.
Dicska@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You know what, I wouldn’t even bother if it happened once. I wouldn’t like to be in the same situation, and while I would ask first, I understand we’re not the same. The moment it happens the second time, though… Pure laxative with white food colouring.
adhocfungus@midwest.social 11 months ago
At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people’s food. Every time somebody complained he’d put up a sign and start “investigating”, but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn’t care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
Revan343@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I’m surprised the HR guy didn’t get the shit kicked out of him

I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:
“ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”
“Oh. It was yours?”
“Why the fuck would you do that??”
“Well i didn’t know it was yours”
“But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”
“People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”
Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet

Put rocks in it and if they complain about their broken teeth you tell that you’re trying to fix your mineral deficiency.
PapstJL4U@lemmy.world [bot] 11 months ago
We have to label things so they can gwt eaten. We literally have a “this is communist milk, it’s for everyone”.

I had a roommate burn a bunch of shit from our garage because he didn’t know who owned it.
He’s like, “I asked the other roommate and he said it wasn’t his so I figured it was just here with the apartment.”
“Motherfucker there are 3 people that live here. If it’s not yours, and it’s not the other guy’s, it’s probably fucking mine and you should ask before you just light shit on fire.”
Normally I’d think it was because he just didn’t like me, but after knowing the guy, he was just an actual idiot.
iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
When I was in the Navy, a dude kept eating my fucking chips and salsa. It was a small work center, we all knew whose shit was whose in our tiny fridge. So one day I put really fucking hot hot sauce in my salsa and left it in the fridge. Motherfucker has the gall to get pissed at me like I’m the asshole. He didn’t eat my salsa again after that.

lihmalahmalehma@suppo.fi 11 months ago
Duh, a sandwich is the kind of thing one would never expect being left around with the purpose of being someone’s personal lunch. You’re obviously in the wrong here complaining. Asshole.
lihmalahmalehma@suppo.fi 11 months ago
I don’t get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It’s so fun to bring something in to just to find out it’s gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn’t mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.
pupbiru@aussie.zone 11 months ago
i don’t understand how companies don’t just… provide milk tbh… milk, cheap coffee and tea… it’s such an incredibly cheap way to make people feel slightly less like garbage
faktotum@leminal.space 11 months ago
I’m offended because this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers) and I don’t think people should be so satisfied with this band-aid solution.
This feels like a microcosm of society as a whole right now. 3 individuals taking individual action that won’t solve the root problem.
And I can easily imagine the boss(or anyone with actual authority) having their own personal fridge and just ignoring the situation entirely no matter how often it’s brought up.
You can feel fully justified in doing something and still hate having to do it.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they check notes expect to be able to use the food they bought
