My example: My first job was a restaurant and one day they asked me to go to the store to get more product. They didn’t give me enough money to cover the cost of what they needed so I paid the rest.
When I got back and they inquired about me spending my own money, I said ‘Don’t mention it. It’s an investment in the company,’ with a shit-eating grin.
They thought that was super cool of me but what the fuck was I thinking.
