kind of like "accidentally" using a company business card to go to Disneyland, and then doing it several times over months.

Except a toothpaste is maybe a buck, and going to Disneyland is very expensive.

Or have we just forgotten reasonableness? We can just... extrapolate anything to anything?

That was to illustrate the principle. If you agree, we can look at something with the same magnitude.

Imagine if your boss has a stack of gift cards on their desk in case people need a taxi home, and some employees start using it as their personal Amazon shopping.

The vouchers had a specific purpose.

If I was looking to fire someone, the thieves would be at the top of the list.
