Examples of Condition 2 Partial Exchange:

• A man pulls his car into a fast-food restaurant drive-thru window and orders a double burger, fries and cola, and pays his money. The attendant hands him his order and he drives off. A few minutes later, he sees that the burger has only one patty, not two, and it is burnt, there are no fries, and the cola tastes syrupy and has no ice. This is a corrupted version of what was ordered and only part of what was ordered. This is partial exchange.

• A woman takes her car into the local repair shop, complaining that the car is overheating. She is forced to wait while the mechanic works on it. He finds that the fan belt is about to break. He replaces it with a used belt, to "save money," even though he knows it needs a new belt and charges the customer for a new belt. This is partial exchange.

• A couple special-orders their first new car, taking time to specify exactly what they want (sun roof, CD player, leather seats, etc.) and agree on a price. When the car is delivered to their house, it has a non-moving moon roof, and AM/FM radio and cloth seats. Upon complaining to the dealer, the sales manager says that the salesman made a mistake and for the price they paid, they can only get these features. However, if they pay more, they can get exactly what they want. This is partial exchange.

• A man moves to a better apartment, even though he does not earn enough money to pay the rent. He borrows money from a friend each month to cover the shortfall. This is partial exchange because this man is running into debt, building up a backlog of undone work he must do to pay back the loans. In other words, he his taking in more than he is giving out.

• A shoemaker makes shoes and exchanges them for income, which he uses to cover his expenses. In this way, he always has enough money to buy what he needs. Then one day he buys a car on credit. This is partial exchange because he did not have enough money to pay for the car in full and now "owes his work" to pay back the money he borrowed to buy the car. In other words, he has received the car without doing the work necessary to earn the money to pay for it.
