I could not believe my ears!
Jessica said that on her first visit to Google she was so enamoured by the free food that she stole 4-5 granola bars in her purse.
When she visited, I am sure she was already a very wealthy woman. Why did she steal them?
It would be nice if she herself can tell us.
(I shall watch the rest later - but anything that is not juwo-ed, I dont feel like watching thru).

Actually it sounded like a confession and she said 'stealing'. If they are there for her to take, why hide them in her purse?
I am not faulting her at all for 'taking' the granola bars. I am certain, I might have done the same as her - but I am unrich and I would have taken them openly, in full view and so I might be justified - I think.
My comment was solely a wonderment, an observation, that a wealthy millionaire needed to do that.
I must be the worst communicator - judging from my product (juwo).
Seriously, can you look beyond what was an unpopular comment? I was trying to understand why an intellectual and financial millionaire from the cream of society did that.
Do millionaires behave differently, or do they stay the same? Or worse?
- Tichy 20y agoChill out - I haven't watched the video, but if those were free granola bars, how can you steal them? You can only "steal" them. It is just being cheeky.
- Goladus 20y agoMaybe they were really good granola bars. It was basically a joke. I can't speak for her, really, but looked to me like an ice-breaker comment to get everyone relaxed. It might make more sense if you understand that no one in the room would care about taking granola bars.
