There are probably only a handful of employees left, trying hard to get that big payout. With few employees left at the company, fewer people to split the winnings with (not that they would have anyway). No way are they going to settle for scraps when they've held out this long!

Big money, no whammies, STOP!

Maybe a full belly and a scratch behind the ears is all we need to become pets to the people running the world now.

3. Stick it to customers some other evil way.

should've been the name they gave it.
