Still Bears Her Name

Tracking Label-Refiller Match Across a Shared Kitchen's Spice Rack

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities audits 214 labelled jars across nine share-house and office pantries, tracking fortnightly whether each jar's handwritten label still names the person actually refilling it. Aggregate label-refiller match falls from 91% to 54% over nine weeks and holds at each level between relabeling events, recovering only after a scheduled kitchen clean-up relabels most mismatched jars in a single afternoon.
