So wait, you work in a bloody coffee/donut shop and yet you can't sample some of their fine foods while on shift? I'd understand if it was like some really messy, long meal, but a simple snack? As long as they weren't eating while I'm being served, I really wouldn't mind a till operator having a small snack or drink mid-way through a taxing shift.

I can tell if I was a shift manager, I'd be alot more lenient.
