Stealing Food Not To Be Confused With Its Distant Cousin Stealing Time

For those of you who work around food, either cooked or not, its tempting to taste and sample. Even if you're a cook, or you serve behind a deli, or make sandwiches at a fast food restaurant; it's not always ok. It still could be employment ending. The five second rule at home does not apply at work. We should all know that if you drop food on the floor that it is not to be sold by the employer or if you work for a fast food restaurant and someone returns a hamburger because it has onions on it, you don't put it back on the rack. Be careful not to take that item and stick it in your knapsack to take home at the end of your shift because although it's trash, it's still the employer's trash......Now ripping open a candy bar and taking a bite and returning it to the shelf is a whole other story and we'll get into security camera video later.
