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.

haha
I was tempted.. SO tempted.

I remember one day I had to smash up an awesome sony surround sound off of display because it was missing a few wires (which we also sold). I made phone calls to people arranging them to come pick it up. Finally someone said yes, but then I bottled it and smashed it up.

Managers were known for scouting the bins at random times and if the manager on duty found it they would have known it was me (after begging for him to sell it to me for a discount price)

I know one guy who was given the job of smashing up one of the TV's. He bubblewrapped it, stuck a sold label on it, walked it out of the warehouse, through the shop floor on a sack barrow, told a manager the customer was waiting outside and then he got another employee to help him lift it into his boot. Fucking outstanding!!

I can't understand
Why this wouldn't happen more often..? Surely the TVs are worth a fair chunk of a week's money?
