And what kind of dressing would you like with that? Interviewer #1: You have had many jobs at that same company. Can you describe your work environment?

Forty-six-year-old proper woman: My company liked to move us around a lot so we got experience in different departments.

Interviewer #1: Was this a standard practice?

Woman: Oh, yes. They did that for everyone working at the restaurant's HQ. Every six months we would move from department to department. We liked to call it "tossing the salad."

Interviewer #1: Excuse me?

Interviewer #2: [Spits out his water.]

Interviewers #3,4, and 5: [Look away and laugh uncontrollably]

Woman: I got my salad tossed every six months, but in the past year moved it up to every three months. It's all part of the manager training program.

Interviewer #6: Did you like getting your salad tossed?

Woman: Yes, I did.

Interviewer #6: It must take some getting used to. We have never tossed salads here, but that is not to say we won't someday.

Woman: I would highly recommend it.
