Trespassers Will Be Proselytized

There's a saying, rules are meant to be broken. It's not a slogan for crime. It's a guidepost for free thinkers. The rules tell you everything except one thing. They don't admit that they are incapable of flexing themselves around every situation that arises. They just expect you to know that already. They are to be followed, but not to the letter. The fundamental rules are usually so practical that they follow themselves. Even I stop for red lights. It's only the finer details that might need some fine tuning here and there. And it takes a free thinking person to do it. A person with a good, strong mind will not merely look at the rules in a certain situation, but at the situation, itself. You're new on the job in a cafe. A customer comes in and, noticing you are new, tells you he's been buying coffee there every morning for four years. You might conclude that this customer is telling the truth. After all, he knew you were new. The customer wants a coffee on credit. You weigh the risks. A cup of coffee won't be missed, even if the guy is lying. Odds are 99% that you can let him walk out safely with a borrowed coffee.
