TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Just thinking that.Few pence for your butty ordered, and probably driven out and picked up, brought back and delivered, hot in your hand for a daily 20p.. well worth the money, (assuming the change wasn't dropped in the charity box.. maybe?) I routinely give a rounded up sum to our butty run.. maybe if someone else offered to go to the shop in 10 YEARS, there would not have been an issue in the first place.
Your boss was wrong for asking him to resign over this.

i agree to some extentit seems like a fair enough margin, to take 20p or so or round it up to the next pound/50p whatever but he wasnt open about it.
if he'd told them he was taking his cut they'd wish they'd thought of it but still hand over their money to him.
thruth is he probably just bought his lunch with the profits and only gained a small amount each day. which seems fair "i'll go to the shop and get all your butties if you all chip in 20p for mine". but thats not how it was sold.
