Cooper Refills All the Vending Machines Every Other Friday at the Building

question 59

Short Answer

Cooper refills all the vending machines every other Friday at the building that houses a large manufacturer of refrigeration systems. Last week he was restocking the candy machine in the office workroom when he overheard two of the company's executives talking about finding someone to put in a security system. Cooper told his brother who sells security systems about the potential job. When the brother closed the sale, he gave Cooper $200. What term is used to describe Cooper's actions?
