This happens with my tissues all the time. No one buys me new ones, though.

I hope that YOU’RE working the night shift because YOU’RE pulling yourself through school in the daytime to learn how to spell. That will also explain the need for so much sugar…

Fight fire with fire, or you know, passive-aggressive notes.

“If you’ve helpfully noticed the candy has run out, please feel free to refill it! Making the world a sweeter place is EVERYONE’s responsibility! ”

Then you can sit back, watch people get close enough to notice the candy’s gone, then notice the note, then pretend to have noticed neither and disappear into the shadows like a candy-deprived ninja whose belly is filled with naught but shame.

Apparently you didn’t read the post. She did lock the candy up, that’s what prompted the note.

I’m not about read 103 comments but I hope I’m not the only one who thinks it’s tacky as sh*t to put an entire basket of candy in plain view and then police how much people eat. Put your stash in a drawer if it’s for you only. If it’s for everyone, be glad you’re making someone’s night shift better. Whiner…

Similar things are happening to food vendors at the Occupy Wall Street (and Occupy Other Major City) gatherings, when they stop giving out free food to the protesters.

aw this one kinda made me sad. maybe the candy basket is the only thing that brightens up his night? why not keep the basket and spread a little cheer. sometimes its the little things to look forward to that help people get through.

I had to look up slamiakki and this is what I got from wiki “Salty liquorice, also known as salmiak or salmiakki is a variety of liquorice flavoured with ammonium chloride….”

Ammonium? Chloride? Oh, that’s how I like my candy. Flavored with my chemistry set.

I volunteer at my kids’ school library. We often have candy or nuts out for us adults to snack on. One day a fith grade boy & his cronies bugged me mercilessly for some candy. I’ve know this kid since preschool so I went out of my way to find fish flavored candy and gave it to him. The brat liked it! I was so bummed.
