Eating On The Fry

(I work at a fast food chain. One night, I am on the register when Coworker #1 is sent on break and Coworker #2 has clocked out to go home. Coworker #2 orders some food to take home, and then heads into the bathroom to change, while Coworker #1 hangs around the counter. A customer then comes in.)

Customer: *makes typical order, but also orders a large French fry*

(I ring up their order, and then proceed to bag Coworker #2’s order and place it on the counter.)

Customer: “Hey, are the fries fresh? I don’t want them to be too old.”

(Coworker #1 takes this as a cue to open the bag with Coworker #2’s order, grab some fries out of it, and eat them.)

Coworker #1: “These seem to be fine to me.”

Me: *stares, shocked*

(Needless to say I gave the customer fresh fries, and also changed out the fries for Coworker #2.)
