TIL the bakery down on Maple Street keeps a "fail shelf" in the back for staff to learn from
I stopped into a small bakery on Maple Street this morning to grab a coffee and the owner let me peek behind the counter. Right by the ovens there is a shelf with about 6 ugly bakes on it, like a sunken pound cake and some flat macarons, each one with a sticky note about what went wrong. She said new hires study the shelf for their first two shifts so they learn how a bad bake looks and smells instead of just hearing about it. I kind of want to build my own fail shelf at home now, has anyone else kept their disasters around on purpose like that?

Wait, she lets new hires study the shelf? Pretty sure they just eat the fails.
