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?
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.
