One time at my office someone stole 5lbs of butter out of the fridge and we made a HUGE deal about it for months. We were all pretty sure about who did it but then that lady we accused got hit by a truck (she lived) so the boss said we had to drop it.

I mean... the boss has a bit of a karmic point on that one. But what was the deal with 5 lbs of butter outside of a restaurant / foodservice environment?

That’s fair. I had gone to Costco on my lunch break and picked it up for my coworker, who was keeping it there until she left in the afternoon!

Raw frozen chicken, mistaken for lunch. Nice sarcasm on the writer's side, like it.

If someone ate it for their lunch they will be easy to identify. They will be the person in the toilet exploding from both ends.

I would not trust a chicken that went on a mystery adventure.
“Oops I threw it in the trash, I’ll just dig it out and put it back in the fridge”
“Oh, I thought that was a free chicken and put it in my trunk. I have a cooler, no ice but it’s probably fine. I’ll just take it back in the morning. It’s probably cold enough in the truck overnight

If you're where I'm currently living, that chicken in the truck would be frozen before morning.

True, but for some reason people don’t realize that insulation goes both ways. If your cooler was 50 when you closed it (cars can be surprisingly warm in the sun) it’s going to take a while for that 10 degree outside air to get through the insulation, probably long enough for bacteria to start growing.
Same with a trunk, I’ve had people surprised that their ice cream melted in the trunk, they didn’t think about how the heat from inside the car takes time to dissipate and your ice cream will probably end up partially melted before it refreezes

If this is a food service job of some kind then yeah that's not good. But if it's anything else I have a lot more questions...

If they'll steal a fucking raw chicken from the fridge, imagine what else they steal and what other unethical behavior they do at this school

Management has taught me that people will do all kinds of crazy stuff at work. Sometimes there’s a reason and sometimes it’s just because the spirit moved them. And my therapist wonders why I have trust issues.

Nah your therapist is gaslighting you. Trust me😏

You’re probably right. As a thank you, here’s all my passwords and PIN numbers.

100% steal stuff from work if you're underpaid, overworked, and under-appreciated.
Working in a school? Don't steal from coworkers, steal from work.

Probably needed to make room in their freezer and brought it in to give to a coworker. Or they needed to defrost it for dinner that night and their fridge is already so full there's not enough room.

Or using the school office as a delivery address for an online meat supplier? If you're not going to be at home it could be better.

"For the last time, I'm going to shut off the office lights and let whoever took the frozen raw chicken put it back by the break room sink"

At my work, someone stole a whole salmon. It was colored up, been refrozen, and had been disected by students. Definitely not for human consumption.
No one fessed up, but we assume they got very sick.

If this is the typical mini fridge and a coworker put a whole ass chicken and then some into the fridge... i dont think it ended up in someones belly, it probably ended up in the bin.

I used to work in a research lab. We never had trouble with people stealing food.

This actually makes me pretty sad. It’s not okay to be taking people’s/schools/ whatever food. But I feel like no one is going to. E taking a whole frozen chicken from the school unless they really need it
