Hungry Co-workers Go For the Chocolate

One day I brought my son's candy bars into work hoping that someone would see them on my desk and ask to buy some. In the course of the morning I may have sold three candy bars.

Later in the afternoon I was informed that the vending machine was malfunctioning and being the office manager it was my job to get it fixed. I put in a call but in the mean time I put the box of candy bars in the kitchen along with a note to leave the dollar in the box. About 10 minutes later I went into the kitchen and all of the candy was gone and I had double the money that I should have.

Everyone was so grateful that I could provide them with an afternoon snack, they paid double for them. The next day I had my son bring home another box and I just put them out for everyone to enjoy since they were already paid for.
