Interesting ideas :)    I generally don't dress my fruit salads and just use the natural juices from the contents to moisten.  One of my favourties at the moment is diced watermelon, seedless green grapes halved, and...

Great tips Gunnar.  I'd go with that too.  Also maybe a change of socks to use half way thru your shift.  This can help refresh your feet somewhat.  Also get the best support and kitchen safe shoes you can afford,...
