Might be time to find another job

So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.
Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn't cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she'd go right back in the fridge.
Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like "FOR FRIDAY'S DINNER." It didn't matter... You'd go in and there'd be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. "Oh, I didn't know it was for today." "IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT'S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!" "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
It didn't stop her, either... The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.
Likely that was her only food source.

Definitely not. She was salaried and made a little more than double what I do.

This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
That fucking drives me up the wall. How did your parents fail so badly that they couldn't teach you to pick up your feet?
The inside corner of his shoes were warped and smashed because he’d just slip his feet into his shoes and wiggle em in. Dude was so lazy I was convinced he never washed his water bottle and had mono or something cause the dude even spoke slow, like Kevin from the office

Just start calling her The Food Thief in front of people at every opportunity. Public shaming can be powerful.

In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.
About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn't quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.
Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y'all have maintained?
I've worked at engineering offices here in Australia that provided actual full on espresso machines. I don't get that now I'm in the public service.

Then you run into the problem of people using excessive amounts of free milk leaving others without the chance to even get any. Better and safer to bring your own if you rely on it.
The tragedy of the commons.

It's just a joke about how weird human culture is. I wonder how you infer anything about me as a person because of one silly joke? Only super weird people can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.
To me its much weirder that it's normalized to drink baby milk from another species, to the point that it seems completely normal, but each to their own.
I've often thought about this as well. Also how we literally shit in our water supply, and then have to go to great lengths to remove it again.

It's a vegan thing in some circles
"Yeah I bet you like your cow-titty juice, FREAKS" etc
I think it's hilarious personally, but I always think calling people weird sickos for normal stuff is funny

I bet each of those cheap ass locks could easily be shimmed open with a piece of a soda can in a few seconds. I would open each one and just leave it on the shelf next to each bottle. I don’t even drink milk. Just to let them know their obnoxious system is pointless
Or just cut the plastic with scissors.

At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people's food. Every time somebody complained he'd put up a sign and start "investigating", but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn't care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
I'm surprised the HR guy didn't get the shit kicked out of him

Stop stealing their stuff, scumbag.

After much hinting and me going off, she clearly just didn't care...
We eventually just started keeping the leftovers upstairs. If the guys ate it in a sitting, so be it, we at least had a teachable moment when they came and complained their stomach was upset.

I'm offended because this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers) and I don't think people should be so satisfied with this band-aid solution.
This feels like a microcosm of society as a whole right now. 3 individuals taking individual action that won't solve the root problem.
And I can easily imagine the boss(or anyone with actual authority) having their own personal fridge and just ignoring the situation entirely no matter how often it's brought up.
You can feel fully justified in doing something and still hate having to do it.

The scope of the problem is much much larger: the entire fucking culture IMO, assuming you are in the USA because I am and it sure sounds like you're talking about this place.
I think it goes beyond distrust though. It is a lack of respect for human dignity (which leads to lack of respect for oneself) and for just being decent to one another so we can all enjoy our time on Earth a little bit more.
I have made a couple trips to Sweden of all places, and it's wild seeing things like real glasses and silverware being available for any schmuck to use in a restaurant/airport/workplace. And then people put them in the dishwasher or return them to the kitchen when done! Little things like that seem so minor until you think about the deep seated issues it is revealing.

It's pretty common to have milk in your tea

I remember solving something similar using an opaque bottle with "GI supplements, don't drink" written in sharpie. Especially since the first time it was actually true and they didn't believe the warning.
I used to live in a shared house and made some hot honey. Bunch of chillis chopped and simmered in honey.
I found a tiny amount on a pizza was good to add a hint of sweet and made it pretty spicy. Can't imagine having it concentrated on toast goes down too well but that is what someone did when they stole it.

If only there was a whey to revive it.
These jokes are getting cheesy

so I've had tea in Ireland and the UK, and my observation is that most people just use an ounce of milk for a cuppa, right?
how much tea is this type of freak, that needs this much milk at work, drinking?
Tea breaks are a good way of breaking up the work day
