This is funny, I was used as collateral for $5 of gas once.
A friend and I were taking a test drive on a car and the gas light beeped on, so we went to get gas and realized neither of us had any cash or debit cards on us after filling up. So I stayed as collateral for the $5 and she drove back and got money from the car salesman (we knew him) and then came back to pay.
It was fun to joke around with the staff while I waited. And the thought never crossed my mind that I would be stranded.
