Office Stories - Office Supervisor Grazing

Posted by Joe Somebody at 6:30 AM

This happened a few years ago on the night shift. I wasn’t working the shift, but had first hand knowledge about what was going on. Someone was stealing from the cafe that we have at the office. And this is how we caught them.

I would like to say however that when I worked a post as a guard and it was during the holidays, I myself would sneak into the café for a soda or some chips, but nothing more, and I would only do that once in a blue moon.

Well we got this report from the head of the office café saying that she has been missing a lot of supplies lately and she thinks that someone has been stealing food from her café at night. Well we made some jokes about it being out night supervisor because he almost weighed 400 lbs and would be the most likely suspect, but it was only a joke because he would not be stupid enough to steal from the office…right?

So when he came in that afternoon my boss was talking to him about it, and telling him that he needed to keep an eye out at the café because someone was stealing food from it at night. Well the guy started getting real nervous and started to ask weird questions asking us if we knew who it was and things like that, which he would normally never ask.

But like magic the stealing from the office café had stopped over night. So it was pretty obvious who it was. But what we didn’t know was that he had an accomplice. After a few weeks it had started again. We had another guard that was told to watch him, and what he found was the funnies thing. Not only was the 400 lb guard sneaking into the café to graze. So was another 350 lb guard that we had working the night shift with him.

So they would spend hours just munching on food at night. After we discovered this we reported it, and again like magic nothing happened. But it still was funny watching 700 lbs stalking the café in the middle of the night. The office café never knew what happened.
