A woman named Savannah disclosed an unusual way to deal with an office creamer thief in a startling workplace tale: she replaced it with her own breast milk.
Savannah bought a bottle of her favorite coffee creamer and put it in the office shared refrigerator to start an unexpected story. Her happiness soon gave way to shock when the creamer unexpectedly disappeared a week later. She found out after some investigation that one of her coworkers had been using her creamer in secret.
Savannah used a bold and inventive strategy rather than confronting the thief: she used her own breast milk in place of the creamer. She affixed a note that said, “Good morning!,” to the container a week later. My coffee creamer has been a surprise to whoever has been enjoying it all week! My breast milk has been yours. I hope you have had fun. “Cheers!” A cheeky addendum was added by her: “PS: Don’t worry, it’s organic.”
There was a heated discussion over this disclosure on social media, with some people finding the episode amusing and others doubting its veracity. Some people flatly rejected the tale, claiming that no one would ever use breast milk in place of creamer, especially when it came in a repurposed jar.
Many others talked about their personal encounters with food and drink thieves at work as the discussion progressed. To discourage burglars, some had turned to marking things as “lab experiments” or employing tempting bait, such as string cheese. Every story contributed to the conversation about the best ways to stop coworkers from taking food.
Some backed Savannah’s breast milk substitution, claiming it was a safer and healthier option than store-bought creamers, while others proposed more drastic measures, such as adding laxatives to the creamer.
