My first supervisor in the service department at Kodak preferred not to be bothered with trivial things which he expected us to solve by ourselves. In his office, on his desk, he set up a gallon metal can with a slot in the screw on lid. The rule was if you came in and wanted to talk to him, you had to put a donation into his "Shrimpboat kitty". (When he could afford to buy a shrimpoat he would retire.) One day I came in and the can was gone. He explained he needed to make change and when he untaped the lid, He found 2 1/2 pounds of washers. I guess creative minds think alike.
