100%. I worked in retail for ages and my retailer had a policy that every employee in the store was empowered to satisfy a customer’s problem up to $50 at their discretion.

I saw an article years ago while still working there where someone decided to let the world know about this’d. Except their point wasn’t that if you do happen to have an issue, any employee will be more empowered to help you there than elsewhere. Their point was that you can get $50 worth of free shit whenever you went there. I fought people in the comments for a few minutes before giving up.

People suck. Dangle a fucking carrot in front of the average person and they’ll eat it, the fishing pole, and your arm before asking for more.

Just take a fucking bite and leave it for someone else to find…
