Awesome Etiquette: Notes To A Food Thief

Courtesy, Sporkful
When you reach for your food stashed in the communal office kitchen's fridge and it isn't there, frustration can boil over. Leaving an unsigned note might not be most effective way to remedy the problem from happening again.

The refrigerator in your communal office kitchen can be a great money-saving resource when you want to brown-bag it. But when you leave food items that you intend to consume later and they show up missing, the kitchen can become a source of frustration.

In cases like this, leaving an anonymous note calling out the food thief might not be the best way to go.  Instead, bring up the subject of missing food items in a staff meeting.

And if you do leave a note, sign it.
