This Sample Sale Is A Steal

(During a slow evening shift, I’m working with a new guy who is almost done with his probationary period.)

Coworker: *looks to see if there’s anyone around and proceeds to fill a container with large scoops of various salads and other cold served dishes, totaling at least $15 worth*

Me: “Uh… What are you doing?”

Coworker: “I’m hungry and I didn’t eat dinner yet.”

Me: “So you’re going to steal food?”

Coworker: “It’s not stealing! It’s sampling!”
