When sitting down to lunch, the candidate was watched to see if they used additional salt and pepper. If they did so without having tasted the food first to see if it actually needed it, this was considered a black mark, indicative of an impetuous and/or imprudent (sp?) personality.
The version of the story I heard attributed this to Henry Ford, but the idea is the same. If someone starts making adjustments to food before they take the time to evaluate whether adjustments are needed, that might be an indicator that they'll make arbitrary adjustments in other things, like project requirements or schedules.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
