Making Popcorn - a Fairly Innocuous Task, Right?

I used to work at a gas station, and I got a lot of material for my comics from it.  I made a lot of popcorn, cleaned a lot of toilets, and made sure to keep just the right amount of rolls of toilet paper in the john, so people wouldn't "steal" them.  My boss suffered under the delusion that everyone that came into the store, whether it was a vendor, customer or employee, was a thief.

I never did see a roll of toilet paper walk out of that store.
