You could buy people gifts if you wanted, but buying for someone who'd reimburse you was forbidden and probably grounds for firing. Admittedly, you'd have to be pretty brazen about it to actually get caught, but on occasion you'd hear that somebody was fired for it.Andrew Lenahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801508126208476261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-78091255327171807362011-12-20T15:24:23.980-05:002011-12-20T15:24:23.980-05:00Ankh: some of the sad people who scam social assis...Ankh: some of the sad people who scam social assistance and unemployment benefits think they're "living the life" because they're basically getting free money with little work.

Hat girl wasn't even angling for a discount, she just seemed to believe that a guy she was on a date with should buy her whatever caught her eye.
