it's wierd how this article in no way addresses why the man might have killed himself, instead it just uses it as a segue to blame the new catering service...like wtf.

He had a snack at work. It was just a bread role. It's not really stealing.

read the telegraph if you want informed sensationalist irrevelevant gossip bullshit bud.

reading between the lines, it's implying he killed himself, because he lost his job. i suspect his family was very harsh on him and he couldnt face them, thats how i read it anyway

 

[kirabolton]

You'd also have to question the general mental stability of the man. They say he lived with his Aunt? Where is his family? I gather that he probably isn't well educated and may struggle out here if he was working at that sort of place, they offer pretty stingy wages. Because i know personally if i was reprimanded for eating a bread roll and a big deal was made out of it i would think the company was completly loony.

'Informed' and 'telegraph'... two words I thought I'd never see in the same sentence

My bad... just an attempt to be both cynical and pretentious.

Put so eloquently - it's mesmeric.

i cnat believe they would make such a big deal about a bread roll
id give him a warning and say dont do it again

 

[table for 1]

plah... i heard that he stole it towards the end of his shift, when they would have closed pretty soon. and that it was a slice of garlic bread, which they would have chucked anyway because they would be closing soon. and that he was publically humiliated in front of his co-workers and whoever else, and fired on the spot.
dunno if that source is reliable. probably been a bit exaggerated

i can't believe he would suicide over this. that is so stupid
and i can't believe the dude would make such a big deal out of a bread roll. he was probably tired and hungry from serving stupid customers. and they would have totally made up for it in the tips they receieved.
argh... what a wasted life
