Have you ever created your own job perks? (lemmy.nz)

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 think this is kind of the opposite of what OP was asking about.

What "perks" did people create for themselves?

Good karma generator?
