True story… The cat w/mouse reminds me of a guy I know got fired from a company I used to work for (he was actually fired twice, I fired him the first time, my boss re-hired him then fired him again).
Expense reports/daily meals, everyone I worked with collected the meal checks that come with a tear away tab at the bottom. They have a printed number on it and a place to write in the cost of a meal. You can buy these receipt booklets at office supply stores. I never bothered with buying a booklet, just saved the blank ones I got occasionally.
The guys I worked with and my boss occasionally loses an actual receipt for a meal when traveling. When filling out a weekly expense report these “saved Guest Check Tabs” would be used to replace lost receipts, everyone did this at the company I worked for. As long as it wasn’t obvious abuse it was okay.
This guy who got fired was so lazy he bought a receipt booklet and then used the tear off tabs to fill out a weekly meal report, breakfast, lunch and dinner… for 7 days. He wasn’t fired for using tear off tabs since we all did it occasionally.
He was fired because he left these tabs with printed numbers… IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER!!! He was fired for being to lazy/stupid to at least mix up the tabs. His weekly meal report looked like he was the only person to eat at a restaurant with only one waitress for 21 straight meals. He actually turned in 4 weeks worth, 84 meals with tabs in sequential order.
Would you want to be scanned by a Catscan this guy worked on???
