I was at smart and final some months ago and the barcode on my steaks wouldn't scan. I told the cashier to just enter it manually and he said, "Not for what they pay me." And put it in my bag for free.
When I was a cashier I used to do this all the time. Hey you were nice to me, you’re getting a $5 off coupon added to your groceries. That coupon is expired? I didn’t see that. You’re about to put back something you can’t afford? Looks like you’re getting it half price. Once they gave me over ride codes people were getting discounts left and right. I just wished I could’ve tacked on a dollar for the asshole customers 🤷🏻♂️
During grad school, I was a waiter at this fancy Italian restaurant and the kitchen staff would complain about having to pour the brewed coffee and take out the pre-prepped desserts for the waiters. So the owner said from now on, the waiters have to pour the coffee and get the desserts themselves for their tables. Ok, hey young couple who are obviously on a first date, want some free coffee and a slice of cheesecake? Here you go! Hey, little old ladies who come here once a month, want some free coffee? Here you go! Hey dad who's taking out his two little girls for a fancy dinner, how about I give your kids a slice of cake on the house! I gave away so much free coffee and cheesecake that year.
