jack transaction
A group of people throw their cash into a pile for a meal, but one guy takes it all, pays with his credit card, and then gets the cash back, points, and makes his company pay for it. You’re a sucker who got jacked.
I throw $20 in the pot. Jack takes it all, pays with his card, and I get nothing but a free meal and a bad feeling.
We all chip in for lunch. Jack pays with his card and walks off with all the cash. I’m out $15 and he’s out nothing.
I put $10 in the meal pot. Jack takes it, pays with his card, and I’m stuck with the bill and he’s smiling like a fat kid at a candy store.
