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.

Just another little one
My current boss (I work at a Mexican resturant) is a tight arse. He's been moaning for the last few months about the price of limes and even said a few months ago that we're gonna have to stop putting limes in the beers, and instead put a dash of lime juice in the bottle. Can you imagine being the customer? It never happened because I told him I wouldn't be doing that. His moanings about prices are never ending. All the while he'll give free drinks to anybody who knows his name on a saturday night. His girlfriend works with us now and she gets away with murder. Throughout her shifts she instists on drinking margaritas with an extra tequilla shot. She kicked off the other week because I was giving the kitchen staff some juice that wasn't no frills (it was stuff like guava and pink grapefruit) because those special juices were too expensive to give away to the staff($3 a litre?) The manageress was behind her (they don't get along) and suggested I give the staff double shot margaritas instead. Shout of the week.
