Anyone who works in a team of people knows that they can make or break the job itself. Even the most difficult of tasks often don’t seem that daunting with a good backup—the same way little undertakings can become extremely frustrating, working with a bunch of * insert whatever word you prefer here *.
Needless to say, individuals stealing food at work don’t really make a person love their coworkers—or the workplace itself—more. Unfortunately, it’s something many people have to deal with; in some cases, on a daily basis.
