Many people bring lunch to work – it’s cheaper than going out, healthier than munching on what office-adjacent fast food restaurants have to offer, and a good way not to let yesterday’s leftovers go to waste.
But some of the lunch-bearing employees often face an aggravating issue – coworkers stealing their food. This redditor was no exception. After bearing with it for months, though, they had enough and decided to seek petty revenge, which seemed to have made the thief change their ways.
We wanted to learn more about how food thieves can affect the employees in a company, so we got in touch with a professor of psychology at New York University, Dr. Tessa West, and an associate professor at the USC Price School of Public Policy, Dr. Peter J. Robertson, who were kind enough to answer a few of Bored Panda’s questions on the topic. Scroll down to find their thoughts in the text below.
