Return to office resulting in these thefts at shocking rate
Immediately, she speeds to the kitchen to nab a fork in addition to a mug and teaspoon simply “because everything in the kitchen is a hot commodity,” Ta, who many times has been left high and dry without an eating device at work, said.“I am not risking it,” Ta, who from time to time has taken items like a fork home, added.
Another factor at play are eco-friendly practices being implemented by offices across the globe — 60% in the US and Canada have per a 2021 poll by Captivate — which eradicated many single use plastic utensils, thus leaving reusables in a substantially higher demand. “I used to walk halfway around the building looking for a fork,” said Mike Williams, a documentary and podcast producer in Sydney, Australia.After inadvertently collecting 20 office forks Williams described the bizarre phenomenon as a “crisis facing lunchrooms across the country.”Utensil marauders were even studied in a 2020 paper published to the Medical Journal of Australia.
Researchers at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital were unable to produce a concrete answer on where the utensils in the medical facility’s break room went and even suggested radio frequency identification chips as a way to keep the drawers full. Still, like in the case of Williams, the honor system had prevailed in some cases as researchers observed the return of some forks. They just weren’t ones originally from the hospital’s break room, according to lead research author and Royal Brisbane Chief Medical Officer Mark Mattiussi.
