Anti-Theft Lunch Bags make contents appear to have mold on them
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read a tiny article in The Readers’ Digest describing a new product called Anti-Theft Lunch Bags (available at www.thinkofthe.com for $8 per package)!
Many companies have break rooms with refrigerators where employees can store lunches, snacks and drinks. However, many employees are actually having their lunches stolen from the refrigerator by their co-workers!
Hence, the appearance of these new lunch bags with a “splotch” design printed (inside and out) that makes it look as if mold is growing on the sandwich… thus discouraging people from stealing it! Have we really become such a society of thieves that we have to put our lunches into Anti-Theft Lunch Bags? Talk about a lack of respect!
One easy way of creating a WOWplace is to show respect to co-workers by leaving their lunches alone! If you really can’t afford your own lunch, ask a co-worker if they’ll share. This may go a long way toward getting the help you need, while still giving respect to others. Then we won’t have to worry about thieves stealing our lunches, or (I can already see where this will go!) worrying about “Office Moms” who will soon be throwing away what looks like spoiled food…
…because many office workers also don’t clean up after themselves. But that’s a post for a different day!
It’s sad that we have coworkers who don’t have their own lunches. In my last place of work, we would take in leftovers and mark them ,please help yourself, that way no one was embarrassed about it. It’s better than throwing it out and wasting it.

WOW, Cathie – what a great idea! I never thought of doing that. Thank you for sharing!
Who says there “ain’t no free lunch?” Sounds like “freeloaders” to me!
“Freelunchers” maybe! 🙂
As a closeted office-fridge window shopper, I would definitely pass on the splotchy looking sandwich baggie. But I promise I’ve never stolen anyone’s lunch. Thought about it once or twice.
I know what you mean… but I also resisted!
