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?

I (with permission, but without oversight) take home all the broken computers, obsolete cables, and other junk from work and either:
- build working PCs from parts of many and sell them
- strip them and sell the parts individually
- sell the cables (if you need a VGA cable for some old monitor at 730pm on sunday right away because your new monitor broke, Im youre guy)
- scrap out computers and cables for ewaste, copper, and aluminium and sell these at the recycling center.
Nothing goes to waste/landfil on my watch. Everything I sell is exceptionally cheap. If someone needs a computer but has no money, I give it.
Dude you're a fucking hero for preventing those things from going into landfill.
