OK then for all those out there who believe that stealing rubbish is all right, what about this question.

How do we know the biscuits were not taken from the Galley? Could they have been used on the next flight? Were they rubbish at all?

I know it sounds stupid and excessive to sack someone for two biscuits (and it is really, as I have stated previously) but the company has to ensure that theft is limited as much as possible.

A warning in this case (provided facts as reported are close to the truth) would have been more appropriate but when the loss control guys get their blood up there is little anyone can do to stop them.
