Because....
I have had this job as a "night manager" at a local coffee shop. At first, I loved my job. I was promised the world, great pay, health insurance...the whole nine. Well, as time went on, nothing happened. No raises, no insurance...and my moral just went down the shitter. The guy who owns our coffee shop[s] is a total asshole. He has 10 children from 3 marriages and his most recent wife he bought from Columbia so he'd get better discounts on coffee beans from her family.
Anywho, I digress, I have systematically started to give things away. At first it was just a cup of coffee hear and a muffin there. But now, after 2 years of empty promises, I probably give away roughly 200-300 dollars worth of drinks, desserts and beans away a week. I steal pounds and pounds of coffee and send them to my friends and family, i take whole cakes home and feed them to my friends, I also do "exact change magic". If i know a latte cost 3.33 i will tell the customer and "pretend" to ring it into the till then give the customer there change and pocket the rest. Realistically, its the only way i'd ever get more than 15 bucks a day in tips. Occasionally, i drink on the job. I'll go to the gourmet across the street and grab a few bottles of 12% lager and then drink them in a coffee cup at work. I smoke weed in the bathrooms when i am suppose to be making mop water.
To be honest, I could give a fucking flying rats ass if i got fired, because at least i know i hooked up half of our city in free goods and padded my pockets with extra ciggerette money.
