You missed one very valuable tip, though: the walk-by spooning. This works for anything that can be scooped up with a spoon (you'll be surprised at what substances and how much of them you can scoop). The best location for these items is the walk-in (hence desserts are best suited for the walk-by). Just stick a spoon in your apron and scoop as you go. All I (and I assume any human being with even the remotest sense of hygiene and well-being) ask is that you use a new spoon for each walk-by. Pasta and soup spoons are best for this, for obvious reasons. I imagine walk-by forkings also work quite well. Extremely entertaining read.

Once & a while, I would hear some servers say, "I haven't had a good meal in days." And I'm thinking, "You work at a restaurant, shouldn't the perk be you shouldn't have to pay for food." I can't recall actually for food at a restaurant I've worked at... even that corny employee discount BS. I now want to make sure all my staff never leaves hungry. That's just wrong and insulting.

No joke about it! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've 'squirreled away' my food to later on forget it and a week later find it covered in mold and stinking to high heaven. I have it all down to a perfect science on how to score free food and I eat rather well. Yes, aprons work well, and so do napkins which can hide precious tid-bits. I kiss but to all the decent cooks that aren't friends with the manager and it all works out very, very well, in ways you can't even possibly imagine. Ha This is a hysterical read and VERY accurate.
