'Obviously the police wouldn’t do anything about it': Nurse tech calls cops over $.50 theft to make a point to hospital administrators

This hospital had an ongoing food theft issue that got really out of hand. Why would someone steal food in a workplace environment?

If it happens twice, it could be that someone was so hungry they couldn't wait to get food, or are just becoming more brazen about their theft. By the third time, this is a real issue---and it could even spawn copycats.

Parents with the means and foresight to set aside some money for their kiddo's education deserve a gold star in parenting. Although college funds almost never go as planned, the idea of a bank account full of cash that's devoted to your child's future well-being is a novel concept. However, entitled children who don't really know the meaning of their parent's sacrifices tend to look at their college account like it's a vault full of happy hour drinks and flashy festival outfits.
