It looks like there might be some text between the lines...let me see if I can read it. Hmmmm. Looks like you may be upset not so much about the cookie or the locker intrusion, but rather by who it was that done the deed.

Let it go, but do tell her that you'd appreciate it that she not go in your locker without asking. She might get offended, but you can't please everyone and she did go into a place that she did not belong without permission...she should have asked first...luck...

Honestly, I'd let it go. You were generous and kind. It didn't work out as you planned. I'd leave goodies in the break room next time. Within 10 minutes, everybody knows who brought in the treats. Please don't be discouraged. You did a kind thing! Do it again.

Would you tell management if it means she might be terminated
Had this lady in question been there at clock-in time would you have offered her a cookie? If so, then I would let her know that you have no problem with her having a cookie except for the fact that she opened your locker and helped herself to a cookie without your knowledge. The question would be why did you think it was ok to do that?

Although I agree with your post BobandMary, I don't believe you should let that indescretion go unchallenged.

There are always clueless people around, having no manners.

I'd have a padlock on my locker, cookies or no cookies. Do y'all put your purses in these lockers??

I'm with Deseylou on this one. It doesn't matter that the locker was not locked, the person opened someone else's locker, took SOMETHING from it without the person's permission. In my book that's STEALING no matter what the item is.

Is this here, or where you now live?

Not that it matters, but is this a general question? If it's here I will make some cookies take them to the place where you work, share them with EVERYONE, and then beat up the person that took the cookie. If it's there, you are on your own.

This is not really about a cookie is it.
The cookie represents someting you do not like about this person.
Now take one of those cookie out, SMASH IT.
You will feel better.
Now tell us why you do not like her.

I'm listening.

I know someone whose cookie should be smashed.
