Salt & Pepper Side-Work TRICK

If you're a good person, you won't do this. I've been a zone captain at the end of the night, and would happily have towel-whipped any server who thought this was a good idea.

Why share the secret? Why not pass the moral dilemma on to you? This is New York City.. why not?

SALT AND PEPPER SIDE-WORK TRICK
Objective: to make salt/pepper shakers look full when they're actually... not.
Difficulty: easy
Time: 5 seconds per shaker
Evaluate: If the salt/pepper is too low, it may be difficult. You can always try the trick and if it doesn't work, stop being a lazy sonofauh and just refill it, oldschool.
Directions: With your palm, tightly cover the holes on the top of the shaker. With your other hand, grab the shaker and slowly turn it upside-down, while keeping  it plugged. Give it a few good downward shakes into your palm. Slowly turn shaker right side-up, with palm still covering holes. Remove palm when shaker is right side-up. Check salt/pepper level. Awesome. 

Additional note: if you're in my zone tonight, I'll be slamming all the salt & pepper shakers on the table a few times -- just to remind you what a bad person you are if you do this.

Can I get you a side of dishonesty with those poor, side-work morals?
