Have you ever created your own job perks?
Have you ever created your own job perks?
When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have '2 for $x' specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item.
People would often not want to buy 2, but I would ring up 2 in the till for the special price and charge them for the single. Then when the next person did the same, I would charge them for the other single.
So over the day, I would sell 10 energy drinks at say $4, but ring them up as 5 '2 for $6' specials. This would put the till up by $10, and then I would use that $10 to have a free meal.
Anyone else do anything like that?

Not quite like this. But I started my own business so I (and anyone who works for me) can work to outcomes as opposed to butt in chair hours. I hate sitting around after completing my work just because I have to get an 8 hour day - who cares how long I work if the work gets done.
This is similar to what I thought in response when I read the question, "I created my own job. Perks!" I don't have to come in early and found I really enjoy working in the middle of the night. All kinds of freedoms, but also all the responsibility. I also found I'm not that great at wearing all of the hats, but that's just part of personal growth.
Ah yes. The crushing responsibility. Still worth it for me though.
