Stealing from Work

[scottish]

After hearing of @welshcakes; latest drama I figured I'd make this thread

Have you ever stole from work?

I'd personally never, it just seems stupid and asking for trouble as well as disrespectful to your employers.

at the hotel i used to work at, we would give out bowls of sweets to the kids at functions but would keep some behind the bar to eat through the night. so technically stealing but we were often doing 12 hr shifts with no break so idc. would also steal sweets for desserts in the kitchen too lol. one time i stole an ice cream cone when no one was watching and the phone rang!!! totally forgot they had cameras all over lol. it was someone looking for someone else tho thankfully!

other than that, ive stolen a million pens from work. wouldn't risk stealing anything major and wouldn't want to anyway.

No I never have. I used to look at things I wanted at work all the time and think "oh I could just take that and no one would ever know!!!" but I know I would always be too scared to. I went home with some extra 5 pences in my pocket once (by accident because I'd been changing round money in the till and a customer had distracted me) and was so scared I went back in when the shop opened on Monday and sneakily put them back without telling anyone and no one ever said anything so I guess nobody noticed.

Nope! Other than the odd pen here and there!

I was a cash office supervisor for 6 years and trusted with keys for safes and banking 20 grand most days etc, so I would never have broken that trust!


I did however 'steal' items off shop floor for the bakery though such as sugar when our supplies had run out!

NOPE as far as i know i haven't xo

im too well behaved for that


plus i dont have a job anymore so the opportunity has gone

[lawrawrrr]

I'm NOT GOING TO ADMIT TO ANYTHING ON HERE NICE TRY FGS


I don't think I would ever steal money from work though if I worked in retail. Few pens every now and again and once I took a pad of stickie notes but I felt so guilty when my colleague couldn't find any the next day I brought them back in at lunchtime and gave them to him ugh I'm so nice and good help

[xxMATTGxx]

Nope, not something I would do to be honest.

Never stolen anything, apart from food/drink and the odd 20p or something I pick up off the floor but I don't class that as stealing £20 out of the till.

What was @welshcake drama?
No, I own my company so no. Although I take free pens from where ever I can so I never have to pay for pens. We have fired several people for stealing with criminal prosecution.

no really, idk if taking the box cutter with me when i left work counts???
