this exercise in redundancy is brought to us by erika in los angeles. it’s like the note-writer couldn’t decide which tactic would be most effective and just opted for all of the above.

Sounds normal to me. Why should a company put up with someone lame enough to take someone else’s lunch? Your reaction makes me think you’re one of the lunch stealers, which is so wrong.
