Here is one possible solution to the frustrating enigma of your yummy lunch sandwich disappearing from the staffroom fridge.
Anti-Theft Lunch Bags are zipper bags that have green splotches printed on both sides, making your freshly prepared lunch look spoiled.
I thought this was a pretty good idea….until I checked our own fridges, only to find that many of our staff seem to already be using it. In fact the brand they are using seems be impregnated with its own funky authentic odour.
Oooh…..and right at the back, there seems to be some sort of weapons-grade biological culture experiments going on. Perhaps we are just growing our own antibiotics to save money.
Cool.

Let us know if your own unit is growing its own antibiotic stockpiles, or if you have a similar mystery lunch vortex in your own ward or unit. What strategies can you suggest for ensuring that well earned cheese and tomato sandwich and slice of superb chocolate cake makes it through till your break.
And who keeps on eating my stuff anyway??








The thoughts of two types who remove my lunch from the fridge:
1) The ‘it is late, that sandwich has been there I suppose since this morning/yesterday, they have forgotten about it, it smells OK, Im hungry I will eat it’ type = stealing my lunch
2) The ‘that sandwich looks like it has been there for weeks, this fridge is disgusting (yells out to no one ‘does anyone own, this, this or this? No?’, OK, it is all going in the bin, now the fridge looks better type = stealing my lunch (that I just put in there)
Who keeps stealing your stuff? Probably not the medical staff, given that the last time they got a sanctioned “lunch break” was back in medical school.
