food theft

[Dustin1231]

You would think that if it was the cleaners, they would at least clean up after them selfs...

obviously you haven't seen the work of our new cleaners.

in the bathrooms you get clean floors, toilet paper, or clean sinks. only one at a time. the paper towels are hit or miss though.
emptying the trash cans at people's desks involves dumping it out and putting it right back. no change of trash bag unless it's torn, regarless of contents. hope you can find another trash bag if you threw away food the day before and it got on the bag. esp if it was pungent to begin with.

sounds like the company needs a new cleaning crew

buy a four pack of RedBull...pepper spray the hell out of them in parking lot....carefully place in fridge.  Wait for cleaner guy to wipe his face/mouth/eyes when his lips start to burn...spend rest of night laughing your ass off.

Cant you just JB weld some sort of latch mechanism on it and secured by a lock going through so that it cant be opened?  I think its better than a chain. 

JB weld the loop part on the door and the hinge that swings to cover it in the top part of the fridge so that its not flopping around every time you open the fridge during the day and then you can latch it over the loop on the door at night.  Its just a deterrent.  IF you find the welding has been ripped off, then the guy really must have wanted a drink.

I think this option will cost you $5-7 total.  $2-3 for the epoxy or JB weld, and another $2-4 for the latch and a cheep travel lock from lowes or wal-mart.

keep in mind, this is the new cleaning crew.

this company underbid the old one for the contract.

that would be good. i would have to hide and wait for ti to happen. i don't know that i'm that motivated to inflict pain though.
maybe rub the opening with pepper oil and remember not to drink them.

that's a better option than drilling.
jb weld saves the day again!

I was thinking some sort of really loud siren that goes off for a long time would make it undesirable to steal from the fridge.

if everyone complained about them as much as you,
would the company get old cleaning crew back?

maybe you can get others at your workplace to submit complaints about the terrible cleaning job they are doing.

Glad I could offer an option.  If you were to go this route, just make sure that the latch that swings over to cover the loop is not on the door. It WOULD interfere with closing the fridge door in the closed position (as every time you closes the door, it would ram into the loop) or while it is in the open position, the latch (which is now in the open position) can cut your leg or something

others have submitted complaints. that's what first brought my attn to the floors/TP situation.

and this is actually the first time i have said anything. i don't want to get people in trouble that are working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. esp when there's a chance that they will either be deported or stay in the country illegally.(but that's a topic for the politics board)

i already have it planned out. i just need to put it into action.

doyou think the jb would stick to the enamel paint or should i sand that down?

if their job was important to them,
they'd do a better job.

they are stealing from you,
your office is germ infested,
and there is no TP...

i don't think you should feel guilty this time.

[MendoDave]

Dont see why not.

I'm pretty sure JB will stick to damn near anything ~

It might not stick the the enamel a regular epoxy MIGHT stick better but sanding would be good (im not saying it is not going to stick at all, just maybe not as secure)  Im not epoxy expert but i tend to my my epoxies on something smooth or plastic as its easier to clean if it happens to dry.  The latch is going to cover the sanded area anyways so no big cosmetic damage.

for as much of an asshole as i am it's strange to feel bad about these sorts of things.

sweet. everytime i have used it or something similar i have had to sand down the surface. this time i'll jsut rough it up a bit.

i'm more worried about fumes than i am about cosmetic damage.
