Employee gets even with entitled coworker by stealing her pizza and wings after she discarded everyone's lunches the week before: 'I don't feel bad and I would do it again'

  • A group of young businesspeople socialize in the office kitchen.

  • "I proudly ate my coworkers lunch and it was fantastic."

    I worked someplace where we had to write our name with name tags that were provided on our lunches.
  • Rule was at the end of the week our night manager and only him would purge the fridge Friday before the building was locked up.
  • I noticed one Monday that the cleaning staff must have thrown away the markers and name tags so everybody just placed their food in the fridge unmarked.

  • We had a busy body named Kara who decided to take it upon herself to purge the fridge on a Monday after her shift ended because none of the food or drinks had name tags on it and I guess she thought the night manager forgot.
  • I guess she didn't think it was weird that every item was unlabeled and that there was so much food getting tossed.

  • She essentially threw away any leftover lunch that midshifters put in there and full lunches that closing shift placed in there.
  • We were all p and she didn't get in any trouble, we didn't get any compensation nor did management offer to buy those effected lunch.

  • I literally had a whole sub from an Italian deli that cost $15 thrown out. She wasn't a manager but her role required her to work closely with management to the point that she thought she was a proxy manager.
  • Fast forward a month later and I go to grab my tea out the fridge and I notice a pizza box in the fridge and it says "Kara 50 wings 1/2 mild 1/2 bbq off the charpit".
  • Kara had a set schedule and was done for the day so I'm assuming she ordered the wings from a spot that closes early so she could take them home after work.

  • I took the box out the fridge, wrapped my jacket around it and placed it in the trunk of my car (it was winter time in the northeast).
  • Two of my close coworkers that lost their lunch took those bad boys back to my apartment after work and feasted.
  • I don't feel bad and I would do it again. The icing on the cake was hearing her complain. about it the next day and trying to start a rumor that there are cameras in the breakroom and management started an investigation.

  • That was b no cameras or investigation took place LM AO
  • catschimeras they say revenge is a dish best served cold, but apparently it's best served half mild and half BBQ.
  • onmy40 Original Poster's Reply Even better when it served off the charpit. Highly recommend

  • Evening Delay_1856 I guess I'm surprised that other people didn't do the same since she threw everyone's out. She should have seen the writing on the wall with how much money's worth of food she dumped.
  • kristinpeanuts I think they meant, given the same circumstances/if they had their time over they would do it again. Not that they intend on stealing her food a second time
  • Physical_Orchid3616 She had no right to dump the food, but you are just as bad for having stolen her food, then delighted in having stolen it.

  • jakestone18 This is petty and pathetic
  • onmy40 Original Poster's Reply If it makes you feel better I technically threw her food away too... Because I didn't eat the bones
  • Twohats9001 The difference is that your co- worker accidentally threw out peoples food. You purposefully took hers. The managers decided not to reimburse you guys, but you took it out on your co-worker. Honestly what you did is both. petty and aimed at the wrong. target, but sure, they had it coming, because they are a 'busy body' and made a mistake.

  • MissMellieM This is a lovely story! I'm still salty about a workplace fridge being cleaned out without warning a long time ago. Half of my bottled smoothie was thrown away. I was in grad school, and those weren't cheap!
