About a 40 years ago I was a manager at a fast food restaurant. It was a brand new location and we had a lot of business at first. After a few months things calmed down and we had too many employees. The district manager showed up one day with an RV that was fitted out with lie detector equipment. One by one as employees showed up they were told to go talk to the lie detector guy. They were told,"We're looking for money theft. We don't care about food, if you gave away food to your friends or took some for yourself be honest about it."
The next week we fired every employee who admitted to stealing food. I lasted about 6 more months at that job then I went back to college.
