Safety first
Unusually for a kitchen sign, this sample offers a reason for cleaning up. It's not just that your food spills annoy your co-workers, they could slip in that puddle of soup.
Attention kitchen users
A formal, all-caps request to keep the kitchen clean. Kitchen Users is underlined for extra emphasis. Kitchen visitors are, presumably, excused.
Dish fairy
An oddly formatted and punctuated sign featuring a cartoon of the imagined dish fairy cleaning a kitchen. The significance of the penguin is unclear.

There are two staff kitchens. This is the show kitchen with the fancy coffee machine that no one knows how to use.
The burglars are YOUR FAULT.
The actual swipe access point is the thing in the distance with the red LED on it.
