When I was a kid, my dad used to take me to his office to help him clear out old computers, unwanted printing supplies, even a TV which was ordered by mistake. I now realise he was robbing the place blind and I was his accomplice.

@fesshole idk, seems to me they used to let employees take home stuff they don't need anymore a lot more than they do now 🤷 my dad's boss gave us her old computer bc it was slow and she could afford a new one but we were poor enough to take all we could get. That sort of shit happened all the time in my childhood--there's nothing that makes rich people feel better than letting someone take the trash out for them and telling themselves they're helping the needy
@fesshole when I was very young, my grandfather had me run into a row house and hand a shoebox of paper slips to Uncle Lou. These were daily number bets in the unofficial lottery everyone played.
