More of a witness to this but a coworker of mine at a pizza place blew up pretty big. She was there maybe just over a year and in that whole time she would always get any no shows or returns we couldn't sell off to other customers. We'd typically hold thoese for about 2 hours knocking more off the price every 30 minutes, if people didn't mind slightly cold food (we'd throw it back in the oven for a few minutes if asked) you could get some seriously good deals (as an example, we had like 3 no shows, all together would of been like $140 between all the pizza, wings, subs and salads for them, got it for $40)
Anyway back on subject, shed always take the no shows or ask for something before leaving. Started off small, some French fries, a sub, a slice or two, but it wasn't long till she was taking full pizzas and so on.
Figured she was sharing it with her friends or something, but one of the drivers asked her once and she said something like "Oh I take it home for later" or something to that effect. So I think she was relying on our no shows so as not to have a huge grocery bill (why pay $100-200 for a weeks worth of food, when you can get it for like $40-50)
No idea what she weighed before or after but by the time she left she was certainly round, eventually she left for greener pastures, we wished her luck on her new job and that was that.
Till about January of last year, had a day off and was running some errands for my mom, was heading to her old office and dropping off her yearly fudge drop (she typically makes it every Christmas, but life stuff prevented a pre Christmas delivery) made rounds around the office, dropped it off, and was heading out when a familiar voice asked my name, I said yep. Turned out it was my old coworker damn near unrecognizable with how much more weight she'd put on (also she was wearing business attire, and glasses so that alone probably would of thrown me off) caught up briefly and turned out she was working the same floor and building as my mom, chatted a bit before having to leave, but told her it was nice running into her.
Honestly been trying to find another excuse to head up there, but my own situation has prevented it so far, if only just to see.
