Notes from an actual report.

By the time I entered the room he was pulling each strand of spaghetti out of the bowl, rinsing it under the faucet and laying it side-by-side with the strands he had already rinsed.

My initial thought was that he didn’t like the sauce that was on the spaghetti, therefore he was rinsing it off.  No one else in the kitchen was questioning it, so I let it go.

The next employee I encountered was sitting at a long table sorting letters.  This time I had to ask.  “What are you doing?”  She looked up at me and said she was told to grade the cheese and was just sorting out the various letters before she got started.

From where I was standing, I could see legs sticking out from under the sink.  I thought, good – they’re cleaning out the trap.  I walked over and asked how it was going.  “Just adding fresh cheese,” Apparently it wasn’t the grease trap he was cleaning.
