The basis for this decision is that the person assumed the food needed salt without trying it first.....in business one can't progress on assumptions alone. This salting candidate appears to make hasty and arbitrary decisions and also one who would most likely not analyze before making decisions in business. A good candidate will test the waters and eat first and then salt if not seasoned right - a sign of a person who will test first and analyze before accepting the challenges to discover their way through business.
But at any restaurant, don't let the chef see you salt his food. That would be an insult upon the chef. LOL

I would think that for your salt shaker test (if it could be been scientifically validated) to work would require that the subject of the experiment have no previous experience with the restaurant. That would rule out any chains. Otherwise, if he is familiar with the establishment and orders something he knows, based on past experience, will not be seasoned to his taste, then seasoning without tasting is perfectly reasonable.
