Steve Jobs he is recognized as one of the people who was quite difficult to work with, but who liked to break the rules whenever he had the opportunity. Probably many of you already know that Steve Jobs always parks in the place for people with disabilities in the Apple parking lot, but this is not the only rule that the president of Apple breaks.
According to the former senior vice president of Apple, Scott Forstall, Steve Jobs even had the habit of eating for free at the restaurant inside the Apple campus in Cupertino. Although each employee had to pay for the daily meal, which cost about 8 dollars all the time, Steve Jobs managed to eat for free every day, something detailed by Forstall in the interview below.
The daily meals were paid by the employees using the card with which they had access to the Apple field and the various rooms inside it. Apple thought of this system so that employees would not waste a lot of time waiting in line for food, scanning the card generating a debit for food, which was withdrawn from the monthly salary of each employee.
Steve Jobs had an annual salary of 1 dollar at Apple, but he still eats every day using the access card he had to enter the campus. Of course, he most likely had free access to everything Apple offered, as the company's president, but Scott Forstall remembers with amusement how Steve Jobs cheated Apple all the time and ate for free.
"He and I would go to lunch at the cafeteria at Apple all the time, and he would insist on paying. I was like, you're paying me enough that I can afford the $8 lunch, but he'd always — if he got his food before, he'd wait at the line for me to get up there, and he'd pay . And he made it so you could pay with your badge. So you'd come up there and you'd badge in, and it would be directly withdrawn from your paycheck. "Somehow, I was like, 'Why are you — I mean, like, really, go sit down. I'll be out there. I feel like an ass while you're sitting there waiting for me, and I feel like I can't get any long-cooking food,' and he said, 'No, no, no. This is great. I only get paid $1 a year. I don't know who's paying every time I badge.' He was a multibillionaire scamming Apple!"
