The temporary employees apparently got hungry, but decided not to insert coins or dollar bills into the workplace vending machine to satisfy their cravings.
Instead, they shook the machine, to the point where it began dropping free snacks, police said.
Bolingbrook Police Department Lt. Mike Rompa said 17 bags of chips, six Kit-Kats, eight Snickers bars, four packs of Reese's peanut butter cups, two packs of Starburst, and $62 worth of change were stolen.
The workers all stand charged with theft.
