Regarding the small, numbered tabs placed in the hamburger rack at
McDonalds:

I have heard (or maybe read) that these tabs indicate the latest that the
product is to remain on the rack.  If it hasn't been sold by the minute
indicated, it is thrown out.  This would appear to create a challenging game
for a shift manager: try to avoid having a customer wait for his order
without having to throw out too many sandwiches and thereby jeopardize
the all-hallowed profit margin.  Don't forget the antacid and the blood-
pressure pills :-)
