So, at work, we have these 20oz soda machines. Occasionally, the guy who loads them overloads the individual soda launcher dealies, which means that the launching arm doesn't have as much force as it should, and the soda bottle gets stuck, and now I'm out a dollar, and the soda isn't readily obvious that it can't launch and thus won't launch for the entire day, and anyone else after me is also out a buck.
Based on my own experience, that means that in the 5 months I've worked here, the guy is making like 40 bucks a week above and beyond his actual sales.
So.... there I was..... no $41+... I reach in my pocket and put 4 coins in the machine, and get my delicious Diet Coke w/ Lime?. Then I get 3 quarters spit back out at me.
See... it turns out that my work also does a sort of intraoffice lottery based on good achievement, and you can get these tokens that are worth a dollar in the vending machine. And it also turns out that these coins are the same weight and size as our silver and copper pieces.
Now, mind you... I'm not suggesting theft. I'm suggesting revenge. Revenge for every one of us poor schlebs that has lost a buck or four when trying simply to partake of the caffienney delight that is Diet Coke w/ Lime?, or whatever your personal monkey on your back may be.
Okay, maybe its not even revenge, but a way to recoup your dollar.
Although... Funny thing. Bags of 1000 coins run about 250 bucks. I can put a copper in, then ask for my change back, and get 4 quarters. Hmmmmm.......
