You are Now Required to Lose Your Lunch

Man buys locked mini-fridge after food thefts, gets

called 'weird and selfish' by co-workers

An employee's lunch theft woes and his “drastic” solution of buying his own mini-fridge which he kept locked under his desk recently drew attention online in a tale that other office workers may relate to or understand.

In a viral post on Reddit, the employee said his workplace offers a communal kitchen with one fridge.

"Over the past month, my lunch has been stolen five times," the Reddit user said. "Not just random snacks. Entire homemade meals I bring from home, gone without a trace."

“Stolen lunches," he wrote in his post.

But his solution was not well-received.

The Redditor reported that one of his co-workers confronted him and called the fridge "weird and selfish."

A colleague claimed that locking the mini-fridge made the original poster "look paranoid."
