No, I am quite the opposite.
This reminds me of once, many years ago, a co-worker & I were working in another state. We went to an "all you can eat" buffet. Both of us had quite healthy appetites and we each consumed 1 full plate each and went back for seconds, plus dessert.
When we were finished, I asked him if he was ready to leave, he said "just a minute" at which point he took his 1/2 full already plate back to the serving line and piled it as full as he could. He then walked back to the table, set his plate down, and stated that NOW he was ready to leave!
I got rather irate with him, and asked him just WTF he was doing that for.
His response: "F*ck 'em, I paid for it".
Sheesh, what a d*ckhead!
I'm an honest person, I feel guilty if I don't eat everything I take.

wait so he just piled crap onto a plate and left it there? what an ass

I was at Old Country Buffet and there was this dumbass kid filling up his cup with soda, dumping it out, filling it up, dumping it out, etc. He continued doing it the entire time I was there, I wonder why no employees stopped him

Being that I have a job, and am not trash, I don't abuse freebie powers.

I don't care enough about saving money to shop for the best deal generally either. I have enough stress from life I don't need to add concern that I could have gotten that pack of Pepsi for 27 cents less had I bought it at Hy-Vee and stacked 18 coupons together before noon on Sunday.




Although, I did recently lose this car dealership coupon for a $49.99 alignment. That coupon actually has value I think.

Probably because that's about the cheapest thing to waste. Even if they had their lowest-paid employee go over there and stop him, they would still lose money. The markup on soda is INSANE.

Mind you, that still doesn't make it OK. You should have ripped out the kid's heart and dunked it in the baked beans.
