This probably reveals how out of touch I am... but I always assumed people in the back could just get free food. Is the manager watching? Would fellow employees

  Really depends on where you are and who you’re working with. Lots of fast food places are pretty cramped in the kitchen, and you’d pretty much have to be friends with whichever set of bosses are around.

  You could take food but it probably depends on the manager on shift, at the store I worked at the manager was the owner so she was pretty strict when she was around (distinctly remember coworkers joking about how she was pretty OCD about counting cups/sauce packets because that all cost her money so she emphasized being stingy about distributing those/accounting for loss). Coworkers did not have the same amount of skin in the game unless the managers held them accountable for inventory levels.

  I worked at McDonald's for a while, and taking food was a fireable offence. I'd get a discount though, but honestly eating the food I'd been stewing in for hours wasn't a great proposition, so mostly just a practical way to eat something if I hadn't brought anything from home.
