The solution to workplace refrigerator theft
At the Festville headquarters, we apparently have an issue with people consuming food/drinks from the refrigerator without permission. So much so that someone replaced the existing signage with a new sign. The old sign was something along the lines of it’s everyone’s kitchen, clean up the mess. It was recently replaced with a new sign complete with highlighting and two misspelled words. I guess when you are angry over lost food/drink you fail to proof your new banner that the whole office will now read.
I have found a solution for sandwich thievery.

I’ve had my lunch taken before but never got up the nerve to put up a sign. If I did, it would probably read like so:
“To the person who ate my sandwich yesterday: Please be advised that the meat used has been recalled today due to a mad-cow outbreak. Enjoy your time off from work.”
That should do the trick. Gives the co-workers a good chuckle and alarms the perp–if only for a minute.

I have had my lunch stolen at work and it’s not fun. I appreciate this idea and will pass it along to other sandwich thief victims.

All you need is an Office Linebacker, like Terrible Terry Tate.
That ain’t yo cake Richard! That’s Simone’s cake - you take someone else’s food again and I’m gonna serve you up with some of my special “Paincake”!

“I forgot my lunch. And the kettlebells sure have burned some calories today. Maybe there’s a lunch in the fridge I can take.
“Oh, wait, there’s a sign here telling me not to steal a lunch. Never mind, I feel bad now. Thank goodness someone warned me with that nifty sign. Guess it’s on to Arby’s.”

Stare: the user of the kettlebells usually eats lunch around 10:30am.
