Most companies would quickly have 0 employees if this was a universal policy

Really? You think that 100% of employees steal from their co-workers at some point? I guess I must be crazy because I've never done that, nor considered it.

I would certainly quit a company with a culture of dispensing harsh and summary justice.

And, while I agree that eating other people's lunch is unethical, we should be very wary of the "broken window" attitude towards lashing out severe punishment for minor things.

Very often it goes together with leniency towards CEOs "giving themselves" huge exit bonuses & so on.

...most companies really don't have employees eating each others' lunches, that's ridiculous. Where do you work where this is considered normal?

Well... at least one... You can't steal your own lunch.

The last two employees would eat eachother's lunch.

The issue is that the last employee has to have the moral integrity to fire himself.

Aha good answer to a potentially trick question!

I'm sorry, what? In what kind of company do you work where you would assume that even one colleague may steal your lunch?
