I worked as a waitress for many years. We recieved a 50% employee discount on food purchased. It had to be on our break. If we came in as a customer on our day off, we had to pay full price. We also had to pay full price if we were ordering food to take out after out shift was over. Only managers recieved free food. It was that way at 99% of the places I worked. Only one restaurant that I worked at had a employee food deduction policy. A certain % of an employee's check was taken out for food purchases. If they ate or not. The policy has since been cancelled. Sometimes wait staff would get a cook to make something for them, and they wouldn't pay. If they were caught, they were termianted. Why do TV shows and movies portray restaraunt service personnel receiving free food? (One Life to Live). I have had many people ask me to bring them food, since I got it for free. Where and why do they get these ideas? Irritating!
I have worked at Carrow's, Denny's, IHOP, El Torito etc.,
