Have read both threads ans just wow at the cheeky fuckery going down here! 😲
Op I know how you feel I have a similar problem with colleagues. They seem to think its totally ok to help themselves to my food and drink at work and not replace it! It's funny how all my healthy food is never touched but my chocolate biscuits, tea bags which i buy for myself only (I only drink two brands of tea), my cans of coca cola, hot chocolate etc all get eaten it pissed me off so bad I complained to management and no action was taken the final time it happened I went totally ballistic I came in to hardly any food left for me so I called the big boss and said in no uncertain terms this was theft and I've complained with no action and now I want to be compensated as I have nothing to eat and I am not a bank! Thankfully I am lucky the big boss likes me enough that I got away with my little rant 🙊 oops lol anyway he not only had the company replace my food but told everyone if they do it again then it will certainly be considered theft and as it has become such a problem (I wasn't the only one this happened to 3 others also had this problem constantly) the camera's would be checked. I ended up hiding my food but those cheeky fuckers didn't get away with it completely I knew exactly who the culprits were so I got my revenge 🤣
Anyway OP I think your stance is right no more lunches for anyone if people don't pay upfront before food is ordered. Don't let her near your card and do the order yourself if people haven't paid then they don't get food. Its simple enough to understand and its not bullying, you either pay or you don't get lunch. If she don't like the rules then tough luck she will have to go without.
