We have this thing at the office called the "Office Glico", which is basically an "honor system" candy station, where everything costs 100 yen. Since I think this is a particularly mean-spirited and cheap-... approach to snacks (in particular because every other office around the world has a full snack bar with free sodas, milk, cookies, coffee, chocolates, bread, etc.), I collect 100 1-yen coins from random change, and then buy something from the damned Office Glico using 1-yen coins.

I bet you the girl that refills the candies and takes the money loves our office...
