       Huh?  This implies they got annoyed because you were preventing
       them from taking your lunch.  Are they serious?

       We didn't have food thieves, but there were a couple of mistakes
       where someone would heat up the wrong frozen meal when there
       were multiples in the freezer.

       At my previous office I had this issue with yogurt. People would
       just pick up any flavor if they had brought one in and eat it
       without checking that it was theirs. It didn't matter if I had
       my name in bold black marker on it...mine would bet eaten
       anyway. Most of the time this wasn't a problem, but I got burned
       several times with being left nothing but strawberry yogurt or
       other brands that I couldn't have due to my food allergies.  I'm
       allergic to strawberries and I can't have anything with beet
       food coloring or beet sugar (if it just states natural vegetable
       food coloring, that's out as well since it is almost certainly
       from beets). Any idea how many varieties of yogurt that nixes???

       my lunch in an insulated lunch bag and locking it in my file
       cabinet.

       Put in put it in a plastic or paper bag with your name on it.
       That makes it just enough harder for the traders to deal with. I
       still think it’s just as easy to use an insulated lunch bag and
       blue ice even with a longer commute. Our small bags have a
       shoulder strap.

       We had some food thieves last autumn.  Surprisingly, the company
       took care of the problem.  Everyone knows that we have cameras
       everywhere in the factory except the bathrooms so the offenders
       were fired more for being stupid for knowingly doing it on
       camera.
       The first was a temp who had only worked there a few weeks.  He
       went through someone's lunch bag that was very distinctive.  A
       few hours later when they looked at the camera they walked him
       out the door.
       Two days later a maintenance person on second shift took the
       lunch of a young pregnant woman (his wages were about double
       hers).  On camera you could see him take the package, leave the
       break room and go directly into the men's room.  He then came
       out of the men's room and went by the large doors in shipping to
       chow down on her chicken wings.
       His shift was over so he went home.  When the supervisors told
       HR the next morning she knew who it was since he had been caught
       twice before.  They walked him out the next day.
       A month after that the electric went out in the factory in the
       middle of the night.  We had to all gather in the break room
       where there was emergency lighting.  While we were sitting
       there, the vending machine man was filling his machines with
       soda, chips, sandwiches, etc.  The next day when they were going
       through the camera to make sure everyone was where we supposed
       to be, they saw a temp stealing sandwiches from the vending
       machine guy.  They fired him.
       I haven't heard of any food thieves since then.

       I was told I was being "melodramatic and overreacting." Of
       course none of these people had a single food allergy among
       them, so they had idea what I had to go through if someone ate
       my food... Even if it was an accident.

       I would react as you did even without allergies! In fact, I did.

       I'd like the part where the cuplrit said they shouldn't have to
       wolf down food they paid for.
       I have no words.

       I always knew that food thieves must have a very different
       thought process...and I was right about one other thing...I
       really can't comprehend her attitude about enjoying food that
       she's paid for.  She's not allowing the people who paid for the
       food that she ate to enjoy I themselves, after all!

       She says she doesn't have enough time but she's forcing others
       to waste their time getting more food or go without. Probably go
       without since they only have 20 minutes too.

       And, it's only a 4 hour shift, of course you only get 20
       minutes, that's a coffee break, not a lunch break, not to
       mention why can't she bring her own.
