I wonder if I'd get in trouble for starting a Go Fund Me to buy more cutlery for the kitchen at work.

you can get cutlery for 20c a piece at op shops

With the rate cutlery disapears around here that could still be expensive. And the increased demand would probably wipe out the op-shop supply and lead to higher prices. Unless they take trade-ins, we have something like 100 knives and only one solitary spoon.

op shops have a million knives and few spoons

If only there was some sort of alchemy that could be performed to convert them.

In an alternate dimension there’s ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

Isn’t it ironic

A little too ironic…

Chain it to the bench like a bank pen /j

Maybe I should, I really just want a spoon to scoop my coffee (I take my own to actually eat with).
