I've been at this job nearly two weeks now and, honestly, the woman sitting on the desk next to mine has not stopped eating. She just munches and munches all day long, only stopping to go for a lunch break. How can I be sure she won't eat my sandwich when I go for a crap. (And no, I'm not taking my sandwich to the crapper with me)

I often find that a situation like this can be solved with the aid of a simple tool, such as a clawhammer or chainsaw. It's OK, You can thank me later.

Well your options vary depending on where you work. You mentioned you have a desk, have you considered putting your sandwich in a drawer? Alternatively you could leave your desk and come back after about 15 seconds several times a day. That way she won't be confident enough to steal it when you're gone for longer, as she'll be expecting you to return any moment. Also, you could ask her to guard your sandwich when you go, that way she'll feel a moral obligation to ensure no one steals it. If that doesn't work ask someone else to guard it.

I think this might work:
Start the next work week with TWO sandwiches.
Go ahead and eat the first one as usual, referring to the instructions, if necessary.
Now, take ONE bite out of the corner of the second sandwich, and save it for the next day (I assume your office has a community fridge). The next morning, you bring another sandwich, and repeat the process.
From this first day forward, you will always have a partially eaten sandwich, and the risk of theft decreases....who wants a sandwich with a bite out of it?

Lick the top of the bread & the meat (or PB&J) and then put it back in the baggy. Make sure she sees you do this. Oh and let her know that you feel a cold sore coming on and that is a form of herpes. That way she won't eat it. The only problem with that is she might tell everyone you have herpes...but we can deal with that if it happens.
Good luck.

Make an irresistible looking sandwich and spike it with a heavy dose of laxatives. Leave it unattended for a while and wait for the fun to begin

Leave a sandwich for her to take, and inside it, slip an invitation to a local weight watchers, or overeaters anonymous club, the poor woman obviously needs help.........

You say she just eats and eats all day, but is she eating other people's food. Just 'cause she's a glutton doesn't necessarily mean she's a food thief. I'd start with maybe just putting my food in a container labeled with my name.

Put your lunch in a bag & staple it. Write your name on the bag.
Get a different job. She sounds totally annoying.
