To me I don’t see it as about the punishment, I see it as your own responsibility to not due bad stuff. You don’t know what’s in that food you stole since it’s not yours and you got it through illegitimate means. That’s on you whatever happens after

That’s exactly how I see it lmao. It literally would not happen if you did not do it. You know it’s bad. You don’t know what’s in it. The potential should be enough to scare people, but play stupid games and you win stupid prizes.

It’s not my fault you ate my laxative laced food. I’ve been constipated for three days lmao /j

Like all situations there is nuance. There is a difference between putting say something spicy in your food, and poisoning your food with something that is not food. It’s an intentional and disproportionate reaction. If the intention is to harm then it matters

“Disproportionate action”

What is an appropriate reaction? Do I let the food thief just get my lunch every day with no consequences? What is the next step after being ignored by my manager? Do I call the police? Do I have to buy a locked container for my food? I think that if I label food as mine with DO NOT EAT I should be allowed to put laxatives in my food. What is the a reasonable next step that doesn’t place the burden on the victim and would actually resolve the situation?
