I had to eat the food fast...as I was head cashier.
That's probably why I have digestive tract issues today.

I've always been a fast eater. I wolf it down, unless there are others
at the table and I try and pace myself more.
To me food is just fuel for the body. I am as happy with a bowl of
corn flakes as I am with some fancy meal.

Hey, I asked. I wasn't cheating 'em. :)

As Gildersleeve noted "Oooo!! Aren't we sneaky??!!" <G>.

Just call me Sneaky Pete. :)

One is never too old to learn something.
When I was in school there was a regular posting of movies with the
ratings. Being of the curious type, I always checked to see which films
were Condemned and wanted to see them, just to find out what the problem
was of course. :)

Costello was known to have a potty mouth when the camera or

microphone wasn't on, esp, if he fluffed a line.

Interesting.

There clips on YT where actors will fluff a line, or misuse a prop, any number of things.
Sometimes they when they made a mistake they turned the air blue, while others just say something like "well, I blew it again". (Jimmy Stewart
and Ronald Reagan just shrugged it off with a oops or the like. Bogart
would let out with a string of profanities).
Most of these fluffs wound up on the editing floor, but sometimes they
were saved and each year studio's would hold a sort of dinner and these
would be shown titled Bloopers of 19xx or whatever. Many are from Warner Brothers movies where someone saved them.
There is one, can't recall off hand who the actor was, who has this
long speech (for a movie) and always makes a mistake at the end. This is
done about six or seven times. The last time he does it perfectly and
the crew off camera cheer and clap after its in the can. Apparently
after the director called cut they left the film and sound on a few
seconds.

In the Navy were signs on the mess deck reading "Take all you can

eat, eat all that you take".

I've seen similar signs at food buffets. My brother and a high school classmate were banned from one restaurant for "destroying the ribs,

etc. on the buffet". :P

There was once a Chinese buffet a few doors up the street that I loved
going to. Long gone now.
I was told the story of one time a co-worker told the story of how he
and his family all went. The guys brother kept going back for more,
heaping food on his place each time and eating it all.
After about his fourth trip the owner walked past, looked at him,
shook her finger and said "You eat more than small village" and walked
off to everyone's laughter.
