@debsi - I would probably have been so confused at the sight of you salting bread and butter that I would hired you on the spot. I guess it's an interview policy which needs to be documented - never doubt the salt shaker when it comes to needing salt on bread and butter.

OOPS. Busted. So it was IBM. You know, when I was interviewing candidates at lunches for my former unnamed employer, if they ordered their drink with a straw, I new right away that they sucked.

Really? You prefer a huge staff of yes men who never question anything at all that they're told and thus never find existing problems or find that there's a better way to do something?

Yeah, I don't think I would get used to that since while BM banned the shakers, they're still available elsewhere. Then again, I never did use their salt shakers.

This really wasn't worth a response but I will - Who said my staff members were men? And I am done with this subject. It has been run into the ground.

I can't even recall the last time I used table salt in my food ... I only have garlic salt and rarely use that condiment. Now PEPPER ... I use liberally

Exactly the very fact that I questioned the veracity of the the salt story and provided documentation should be reason enough not only to hire me but to also give me the corner office with the key to the executive bathroom. LOL

I did enjoy BM's roasted chicken sandwich back in the day.

I love them but I always, always get BONES in them! I guess they use the chicken from the prior day to make them and they pull it off the bones, and maybe they aren't so careful.

I get the pot pie at least once a week for lunch in the winter, but I have to eat it sort of "surgically."
