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?
When I worked at a motel, I got first pick of a bunch of leftover shit by taking the initiative to sort out and organize and purge of trash several months of backlogged lost crap. I don’t think anybody else actually wanted all the tarot and oracle cards, but the ring light would have been wanted.
Creepy… did anything wierd happen after you got the cards?
No? They’re hardly the first tarot cards we’ve owned. We have several sets. They were bizarrely left with some lingerie (which I declined) the aforementioned ring light, and the absolute motherlode of gel pens. There were enough gel pens for multiple employees to take home a set and to leave some around the motel office and lobby. I still have some more than six months after I left that job.
