Transcript

I was an intern and they sent me to buy lunch for like four people and I came back and I bought lunch and I give the guy back his change and I recorded exactly how much his change gonna be so his change is something like I don't know 12.74 and I put it on the desk it's 12.74 he looks at it he's like what's that I said it's your change and he didn't say anything so this way I was like it's 12.74 and he didn't say anything he just slides the money along his desk into the drawer and then he looks at me he looked at me like he was gonna kill me and he said on this desk we keep the change
