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.

Spy cam and share the results to shame the theif.

Busy people
 

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?? :( :o

"Big Softie" Rob :ROFL:

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

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 :mad:

Just work out who has cereal in the morning - mystery solved +++

This was my first thought too +++

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.

Bloke at uni put food colouring in his milk so if he caught anyone with blue milk on their cereal he knew who had helped themselves :ROFL:

The other person they we share milk with also got really annoyed and swapped the milk cartons over and filled the new one with water.

A couple of people just moaned about their coffee being ruined by our milk. haha +++

It might get petty :|

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you may be past "might" +++

Just put a sign there saying "Whoever is stealing my breast milk, please stop! Sharonda"

Haha.

Possibly but I've only looked at ways to stop them. I've not filled it up with water or wanting to put food dye in.

Breast milk could be an interesting note.

4 pints of breast milk would be impressive in it's natural containers!

You may then get more people stealing the milk!
There's some weird 'uns out there!

Mmmmmmm, bitty!

Easy solution >>>> :D

We do that with some customer's fleets of forklifts especially when they are all identical - paint the back of the machine to see on CCTV which coloured truck did any damage on CCTV :D

Fridge Locker!!!! It even stops a bear!

Liquid laxative would quickly let you know who was the culprit. :D

I'm breaking site rules here but I got us our own office fridge.

See how long it lasts before the Director tells us to take it out due to a fire risk or something, like our kettle.

Can't you just have it pat tested so it's accepted

If they kick it out of the office then retrofit a fridge to your D3, keep your milk in your rear armrest +++

Funny you should say that . . . . :D

It is pat tested.

Finance director doesn't like us having fridges, toasters, microwaves, kettles and other such things in offices, says its a fire risk.

+++

There must be (by law) a fire risk assessment in which the hazard presented by such appliances is addressed by the controls put in place i.e. PAT, fire detection and fighting. Ensure that all devices are included including your fridge. Ask to see it. Amend it if necessary. The finance director is unlikely to understand fire risk so tell him to get back to his spreadsheets. +++

Just hide it.

Its almost as big as the A8 fridge.

Well perhaps the answer is a fridge for the '8? you just have to go to the car park for your milk. +++

The bonus with the 8 frfidge is nobody can "borrow" your milk

Put a pint of sour milk in the fridge, guaranteed nobody will touch your milk again :ROFL::ROFL:

I like some of the ideas here.

Milk thieves are working in most offices i've worked in and it used to annoy me but in the end i'd buy 4 pints in iceland for £1 and just wrote "free milk, please help yourselves" on it. No one touched it. Other idea was to get an empty sheeps milk carton and refill with cow's no one nicks that.

Don't write your name on it, that would make me use it rather than my own just to see the reaction :ROFL: ah good times. Never show weakness.

When i was on the shopfloor in my first ship builders we had warming ovens, like the ones you get in bakers. We'd put pies, pasties and even tins of soup or beans in it obviously they'd need puncturing first. Anyway we had a pasty thief, and i can tell you from experience that on a cold day after a few hours of crawling around cold steel there is nothing better than a hot pasty at 10 oclock break with a cuppa. But then, when you walk in to the canteen and it's not there, gone, stolen "ffs some bassard have nick me pasy, if i vine'd out oow tis i gill um" :ROFL: In the end a guy set up camp behind the lockers in there and caught a matey in the act, he fell over and bumped his eye on one of the benches in the canteen and was renamed "the pasty pincher" by 400 guys, he was then sacked but i believe that was for his own good.

:ROFL: Youve got the accent spot on Dezzy. Chatham was a good place to work (only kidding).
