if an employee does something wrong like mess up a customer order, he goes out of his own pocket and pay something extra for their inconvenience of messing up their order, having to wait for a new order, wasting their time coming back and gas money. and being late for where ever they go. customers may not know this, thinking the company does this, but this is just a nice worker trying to make up for his mistake. probably new worker too.
i paid out of pocket because they didn't have enough money for their food, and ABSOLLUTE ALLMIGIHTY GOD THE CREATOR OF ALL BLESS me, to bless others. especially when that little girl wanted that treat her mother couldn't afford.

Guy 2: all I said was I’m not into -specific thing it is socially unacceptable to not like-

when someone is out of pocket they are simply having no filter in a conversation or with a statement
