Awesome Etiquette: Dealing With Stolen Food From A Communal Fridge

This week, learn how to address co-workers that take your food from the fridge.

This week, we discuss if it's okay to leave a note to get stolen juice back from a co-worker:

"Recently, we have had issues with people’s food items coming up missing in my office. Recently, my bottle of juice that I can’t drink tea without has gone missing for the second time.  Fed up, I left a typed note on the fridge that read:

'Dear employees,
Recently someone has decided to help themselves to items in the fridge that they did not place there. This is a communal fridge not a self-service station. Please try to govern yourself with a higher level of authority.'

The next day the note was removed and my juice had been returned. I wonder in retrospect if that was the best way to go about it. "
