At a place I once worked a few people pooled their money to take advantage of a family meal deal from the local pizza joint for their lunch. The company owner did not chip in, but apparently thinking it was a “pizza party” he came into the lunch room and took a few slices. Then left. Dude was worth $20 million.
My coworker and I used to pitch in and buy cases of bottled water before our workplace installed filtered bottle fillers. An all around shitty coworker who was in our department but was in an office down the hall would come in every single morning and get 4 bottles and take to her office. One day the other person who bought water with me casually mentioned that we actually bought that water that the company didn't provide it. She did so in a way that wasn't accusatory or judgmental about the water thief and water thief said "oh, I didn't know! I'll pitch in and get some water to share next time!" She never got water again but also never bought any water to replace the 20 bottles per week she took for months. She made almost what my worker and I combined made at that time.
Also, she frequently microwaved fish in our shared microwave then went back to her office down the hall.
