Gray area rule part 2

I think in this case it was builders who earn their money by working fast so they get onto the next job. They are not too interested in much else and don't always realise that a bit of wire here and there soon adds up. Shopfitters can be some of the worst for recycling and the best for scrappers. They have a fixed deadline, and they are always tight on time. They simply don't have the time to go through everything for what is to them a few cents of wire. If they over-run their deadline they often have financial penalties to pay, so no time is spent on stuff like scrapping.

As far as they see it, they could earn a few bucks with the wire, or lose thousands in penalties, and all because of an hour or two.
