Lunch boxes with locks were created for a reason, and that is to keep lunches safe from potential thieves. When working at an office, employees often complain about other workers stealing their lunches. You don't always hear about their boss eating them, but in this case, that is precisely what happened. OP explained how he was working for an orthopedic surgeon who claimed he had 'no time' to get lunch; so the obvious solution was eating his employees' lunches. Duh, right? It seems like a bizarre resolution because it was. OP and the other staff decided enough was enough, and complained to the office manager, who approached the doctor, AKA their boss, and explained to him how absurd this was.

The doctor told her simply to 'deal with it'… cue malicious compliance. From that day on, the employees began ordering out, at the boss's expense. They were happy, he was happy, everyone was happy… until he found out, that is. Apparently he was less than thrilled that the employees had the gall to react to the unfair situation.
