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?

    My wife owns a small business and I work for her. I get all kinds of perks including being able to sleep with the boss.

      I’m reporting you to HR. Is that you or your wife?

        The owner of the company also being the head of HR would be a conflict of interest, so you’re going to have to report him to himself.
