When someone send you to purchase items, on your
return you must give them the bill and all the change… Every dime to the last
cent. Give it all.
I remember many years ago I
worked with an small company. (8 people were on staff and I was a temp.) One
morning my boss asked me if I would go out and buy coffee and donuts for them.
It was not my duty, outside was bitterly cold and I was upset that he was
asking me, but I put on a very nice smile and said, “Sure.” He handed me $100
and a list then told me to get whatever I wanted. I took it put on my coat,
went to Dunkin Donuts, bought everything on the list which came up to $5 and
change. I did not buy anything for myself because I already had breakfast. When
I returned I put the items on a table, give my boss the receipt and the change.
He looked at the receipt, counted the change then said thanks. I told him that
he was welcome, turned and started to walk towards my desk when he said,
“Allison, you can have this.” He had the $94 dollars and change in an
outstretched. I turned walked back to him, took the money and said thanks.
After that day he asked me to
buy coffee and when I return, I would give him the receipt and the change, but
he always said, “Keep the change.” Everyday played out like that with him and I
until my assignment was over…
