Garnished Lay-away
A garnished Lay-away is a term that describes the type of transaction where an employee is purchasing product from his or her store and has the amount for it taken out of their check, so they can take to product home/consume product before presenting payment.
The word garnished is pulled from the term "Garnished Wages" implying that money is being deducted from an employees check to pay for a debt. The term "lay-away" is exactly what you'd think. Picking up a product from a place of business and agreeing to pay for it later---- so literally picking up product from place of employment and agreeing to have the cost of the product deducted from one's paycheck.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
