9 to 5?

I can't believe this: one of the people I work with today, to help a customer bought some rope out his own money to make sure that the person's purchase didn't fall out of her car. I asked him about it and he said that we couldn't "store use" any thing because people in charge won't allow it. So he used his hard earned money to buy something that I think the company should have provided. This is how the company makes a big profit, we end up buying the supplies that we need in order to get the job done. When they (I think)should be providing tools to work with and consider that as part of operating costs. When I worked in a factory, the company supplied the tools we needed in order to get the job done
