Like all economists, I'm fascinated by cheating
I took one economics class, and all I remember from it is the Nash equilibrium and that economists seem to be really scared of math.
If they’d introduced economics like that, I would’ve taken more classes.

That's why there were enrollment surges after Freakonomics came out
Oh, looks interesting! Did you read it? Would you recommend it?
Yes and yes
Ok, now I might finish Denial of Death so I can start reading this book
It's a pretty light read
a thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for
One of my math professors would always tell us after exams that C's mean you didn't study enough and B's mean you didn't cheat enough.
I see. Even as an aspiring social engineer, I hadn't considered this kind of criminal energy. I only tested once whether I could reuse a receipt to exit (our self-checkouts only let you exit with a receipt), but I couldn't because, damn, they thought of that.
And of course, it would have been just a mistake if anyone cared.
I heard about a serial TV thief who would buy a TV, get the receipt, bring the TV to his car, run back in and grab another TV on the same receipt. Then, he returned one of the TVs to get his money back.
That doesn't mean you can't put them in a produce bag and ring them up as onions
