If you had to complete an honesty test for a potential employer and one of the questions read "Have you ever knowingly stolen any item from an employer"? Its a tough one because you remember this time when you were working as a cashier in a grocery store and you and another cashier would eat pieces of fruit that did not meet quality requirements of store policy.
What would you say?
Yes?
Check no and rationalize that the fruit consumption was an employee benefit?
Reconsider working for a company that asks those types of questions?
Other?

You say no. Any answer other than a decisive no will lose you the job pointlessly. The real question is, "Are you going to steal from me?" If you are a professional thief, you know this already and proudly proclaim that you never stole from your employer and then proceed to take everything that is not nailed down. Only someone scrupulously honest would seriously consider the question. It is a complete waste of time to ask such a thing.

I would say no coz to me the fruit falls under employee benefit. This would mean that calling your friend during office hours would categorize you as a thief since you are stealing company hours
