This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Some people are just very greedy
They utterly despise the idea of anyone doing something selfless without obvious reward because deep down they know that they can't do that because part of them is a bit broken. The food thing, especialy. I used to work for a place cleaning where the policy was to take the bins inside. I asked why cos it seemed rather pointless, they weren't on display and was told that otherwise the homeless used to get the sandwiches out of them. I worked there for half a year and I never took the fucking bins in once. They also used to destroy perfectly good stock in case the binmen took it. When I asked why this was such a bad thing they looked at me like I was speaking a forgien language

That last line, yeh, that's entirely my point, WHY is it seen as such a bad thing?
It's not like your regular paying clients are gonna suddenly refuse to pay and instead wait by the bins in the hope of getting one for free is it?
