Moral Dilemma Thread

Social
#1

You are in the office. You have run out of milk for your tea. It is Friday. You are not a member of “Milk Club” an office extortion racket/very reasonably priced milk kitty, whereby a self appointed capo bastone/very nice lady buys milk for the milk club every week.

Do you

  • Steal the milk required with no second thoughts
  • Steal it but feel bad, they have lots, but you’re NOT a member of milk club
  • Go and speak to Gill about the situation you find yourself in
  • Walk about 2 minutes across the road to buy a little pinter that you won’t get through, and influenced by previously bad office refrigerator experiences, haev concerns it will possibly be inadequately refrigerated over the weekend
  • Don’t have a tea due to the milk situation

Who is Gill?

#3

Hand in notice and get a job where they supply the milk gratis.

Maybe ask Gill if she wants to go out for a coffee.

if you steal the milk is there a chance someone close to you will die? like in the movie about the button, called “the button”?

Gill is the name I have given to the woman who runs milk club. I have no idea if she is called Gill but she knows quite a lot about me and my family

Ok, thanks for the info.

#12

Just want to state again how absurd it is to me that this is an actual thing in quite a lot of workplaces.

#13

I’m not sure I can say this isn’t a possibility. Who knows how far this “club” is willing to go to protect its main resource

Given that she knows so much, she’ll know if you steal some milk.

#15

You can get through a pinter if you really give it a good old try.

is this going to be your only / final cup of tea of the day, or are you going to have to make multiple milk heists?

#19

I’m genuinely sorry that this has happened to you.

Milk is murder :-1:

#21

surely any decent employer includes such things as part of general office expenses?
