What did cleaner do with two watermelons

59 replies

Cleaners came today (two cleaners once a fortnight for big/deep clean)
Part of this is cleaning the fridge and oven.
Came home and two large half melons have gone. One I got a while ago so possibly almost on its way out, the other I only got yesterday (still wrapped in cellophane)

Feels petty to text and ask where they have gone

If you have a cleaner or you are a cleaner, do you chuck food out if cleaning the fridge??

My cleaner always throws away my fruit. The outside might look a bit manky but the inside is still ok for juice and it really annoys me. I now have to hide my fruit in a cupboard to save it

This is what I’m wondering 🤔 the most recent half especially was absolutely fine, bit annoying, waste of money

Maybe they thought it was 2 halves of the same watermelon and assumed the wrapped one was also on its way out?

They shouldn't be chucking stuff out of your fridge, surely? I've never heard of cleaners doing that.

Any cleaners out there? If cleaning a fridge, would you chuck food away?

I’m a bit embarrassed in case they chucked it out in case they thought it was off and I was gross to keep it 🙈
This has also happened before with garlic 😬

I would send a casual msg, something like “I can’t seem to find the watermelon I brought yesterday! Dont suppose you know where it went?”

They’re pretty expensive where we are and I got the recent one for a picnic tomorrow
