Default Milk theft!!!

Some if you must have experienced this in a job or two.

You buy 4 pints of milk for four members of staff.
This normally lasts the week but it recently started only lasting a day, two days tops.

So I'm ****ed off.
With the principle of it. Not the finical.

I'm after away to secure my milk, a lockable lid or some container to put the milk in.

Anyone got any ideas?

Apart from adding a label saying "Topped up with semen" I can think of nothing.
I have the same issue with bog rolls at work. People can be such petty tw4ts

I used to work with a guy who put a plastic fly in his milk! He'd race over to the kitchen area when he heard a scream.

Yeah, it is annoying...

But maybe we've all parked inconsiderately, used some milk at the office, "borrowed" a few woodscrews from a joiner doing a job somewhere??

Maybe a note inviting anyone who has used the milk to not feel embarrassed to bring in pint to make up, maybe they have forgotten to buy for their tea at home and can't of course admit taking your milk??

Writing "Milk experiment" on the bottle worked well for a while when I was a student

We had the opposite problem at my ex workplace, always way too much surplus in the fridge, hence wasted as it inevitably went off when folk were on their days off.

Mind you, the bloke who arranged the milk deliveries also planned all of the raw materials for the plant production, nee wonder the place closed

It's been a constant issue for a while.
Teachers would come from different departments and use milk.

Some times I think they forget other times I think they just don't care us any milk.

OK not overly protective or it.
I get 4 pints of milk for 80p and that normally lasts a week but not this long.

I want to lock it up out of principle and general curiosity of what happens next.

CCTV is pointing at the fridge area (I control CCTV........I have the power!!!) So I'm tempted to paint the milk bottle a different colour and make it stand out.
