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.

I used to work on Stock management at Safeways, which involved reducing stuff going out of date, then wasting stuff that hadn't sold.
I used to hate throwing out the stuff we hadn't sold, so much so that I ensure everything was so well reduced that it always went before the end of trading.
We had big bins with locks and security cameras to stop people going through them. I don't think my town had any homeless - I think it was to stop scallies.
There was always baked goods left, but I think that if the staff had been allowed to take/eat stuff that hadn't been sold then in the end they wouldn't have made an effort to sell the goods before hand.
