This is often the perception but like westopher said, someone needs to pay for it in one way or another either through monetary means or physically.
Working in a restaurant is tough on the body and you get very little time to enjoy whatever food you are eating. That and some restaurants don't always cover staff meals and as a staffer, you need to pay for it. You're basically scarfing it down and getting back to work.
My aunt and uncle toughed it out owning and working in their own restaurant for 35 years and they are broken. I barely lasted a year at McDonald's.
