In my workplace, we repair computers, printers etc etc from a number of high street retailers. It would seem that a number of folk who work in these establishments are nesh buggers, and plop a heater under their desk / till furniture. We get many melty pcs and printers - even the occasional monitor. No amount of charging for spare parts seems to stop em.
Our retail service engineers are regularly found pretty much passing each other on the way to each other's home towns for a call... Or we end up with four engineers at different jobs on one town, with loads of un-allocated jobs further afield
Also, the travel company we use to 'simplify the travel process' can /only/ book corporate rate rooms at Premier Inn. So, even of there are rooms available, at say £5 more than the corp rate, they can't book them, but will still book you into the local Hilton instead, at at least double the cost!
