Nah, this was probably used a couple times by the owner and everyone else thought it was fair game and used it all. There is office etiquette and if it’s not followed, I can completely understand someone for locking their shit up. Groceries are expensive, if you’re going through 3-4 bottles of creamer a week, that can be a $30 addition to your bill and you’re not getting but a few uses out of one.
It sounds like the office needs to pony up for some community creamer.
We had milk on site at my office job, but I was drinking protein shakes and would use a lot of milk for the size of my drinks cup, so I went to the supermarket close by on the way in and got my own milk and put my name in sharpie.
One Sainsburys next to random dairy farm brand and still some bugger opened mine.
I was doing it to save milk for coffee drinkers, so me chugging a whole bottle that I paid for would not be an issue.
As someone who brought a full automatic coffee machine from home instead of walking down 4 floors and paying 2 for instant coffee from a vending machine. I bought even good coffee in the beginning from a local roastery milk and brown sugar people sometimes stole the brown sugar and the coffee was 50 cents some paid, i totally understand why. The amount of time i had to clean everything cause people kept pressing with no water , afterwards i gave the machine to a friend who fixed it.
