Sackable Offence

First week of the job and I could not pass up the opportunity of a lifetime.  Salt in the sugar bowl!  Yes, it was done to perfection, just before the smoking break and I must have got about 5 or 6 people in the kitchen.  Quite a high score considering only 12 people work at my new place.
