This blog isn’t really set up to give advice for employees in your situation, as an advisor would need to know all the circumstances. You should try contact Acas for impartial expert advice.

If you go into a legal database and type in the word ‘milkshake’ you will come up with the case of Rentokil v Mackin. The claimants were dismissed for helping themselves to milkshakes and the tribunal boldly said that this was outside the reasonable range of respones, a decision which was upheld by the Employment Appeal Tribunal. I am not sure whether the same thing would happen today though.
