When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have ‘2 for $x’ specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item.

People would often not want to buy 2, but I would ring up 2 in the till for the special price and charge them for the single. Then when the next person did the same, I would charge them for the other single.

So over the day, I would sell 10 energy drinks at say $4, but ring them up as 5 ‘2 for $6’ specials. This would put the till up by $10, and then I would use that $10 to have a free meal.

Anyone else do anything like that?

    I steal time constantly and no one seems to notice or care. Take a two hour lunch break, leave early and punch out electronically hours later… I get paid nothing but at least I can spend more time with my family and videogames.

      Productivity at my job is quantifiable. I play video games all day working at home, watch stuff all day (usually King of the Hill), shower whenever, nap every day…

      And I still do twice the work of the next person down from me. It’s insanity. Some days I do the same amount of work as everyone else COMBINED. It’s daft.
