Meanwhile, another customer in the line quickly found a quarter and literally flipped it to her, and another man, who actually reached me before that other two who were finally able to buy a cup of water (there was no free fountain in the place) had RUN to his car which was directly in front, gabbed a new bottle of water, and got to me first, after the wife of the first man who went for the water had successfully used the Heimlich maneuver. But that shows the lengths some businesses (of course not all) will go to for a QUARTER !
Cups get counted by management at end of shift. If the count comes up short, the cashier has to pay for it. After 3 occurrences, you get fired. This is to stop young teens from giving free food to all their friends. (I have a buddy who owns a fast food franchise. They must go to elaborate lengths to stop food theft by employees)
