LOL yeah it would, if management would ever even give us 100% of the value of it in the first place. Obviously that never happens with concessions, so we'd be lucky to get 50, maybe 60% of the value of it. So its still cost negative for us. However depending on how you allocate the "gains" from selling something for less than its worth, some can claim they got more money from it especially if they feel it doesn't directly effect them.

Yes, its literally that stupid when its said out loud, and I really hope we're not about to fall for it.
