A friend just called me to rant about her experience at work yesterday.
She went to pee. No toilet paper.
She holds a senior role in a small business (about a dozen employees), and the office staff are supposed to keep the place stocked with toilet paper, etc, then claim it through petty cash.
But, as they explained, they were "all too broke after Christmas".
"Oh for fuck's sake, I'll go buy it then!"
"Wait, wait, we'll give you a list!"
Toilet paper, paper towel, dishwashing liquid, tea, coffee, snacks...
She spent $70 restocking the office, put in her expense claim, then watched one of the "broke" office guys pay $25 for lunch.
