That's why most eateries let employees eat all they want. While going
to high school I held a part time job after school as a stock boy for
Barton's Bonbonnaire... sold probably the finast chocolates on the
planet then and since. I could eat all I wanted while on the
premises, just couldn't take any home without paying. For a week I
pigged out on chocolate, my favorite was dark chocolate almond bark.
After that first week I could barely tolerate the smell of chocolate,
was about five years before I could eat chocolate again.
