Seriously, who does this!?

Reading about this got me thinking about an incident that happened to my father years ago - same idea, someone kept stealing the snacks he brought in his lunch on a daily basis.

Well, he and another guy at work had gotten tired of it, so they took a Snickers bar, opened it really carefully along the seam so you couldn't tell it had been messed with. They took a knife and cut the candy bar in half & then filled it with jalapeno seeds, put it back together, put it back in the wrapper & into the refrigerator.

Later that day, the guilty party walked into the room & opened a Snickers bar ... needless to say, it wasn't long before he ran to the other room for a glass of something to wash it down! The seeds are the hottest part of the jalapeno & this guy, of course, wasn't expecting it!

My dad never had to worry about losing his food anymore!

Just my own thing I guess, but I can't get into the idea of putting bad stuff into food purposely to make someone feel ill or physically distressed, even if they are swiping the food. And what if that food was swiped and taken home from work and given to an innocent old person or a child?
Isn't it better to just put a note or have a general office meeting or start a rumor about a tiny hidden camera being installed if it doesn't stop? If that doesn't work just keep your food in an insulated pouch in your desk or something.

I have a job interview on Friday, and I'm trying to figure out how to ask if they have a lunch thief!!!

I would have to increase my requested starting salary to make up for the effective loss in income due to an inflated grocery bill!

One of my least favorite questions in interviews is "Do you have any questions for us?". This may be your opening! Asking "What about refrigerator security" in a serious voice would make you memorable
