as little as
"He did not offer me something to eat as little as a sandwich on board."
Is this corrective enough? "He did not offer me anything, even as little as a sandwich, to eat on board."
I think it would have to be "He did not offer me anything, not even as little as a sandwich, to eat on board."

It stars Richard, Rick and Corey Harrison of the Gold and Silver pawn shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show debuted on July 26, 2009 and it presently airs on Sundays at 10pm Eastern Time. Two episodes are aired in an hour block.[1] The Pawn Stars shop is a family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison, who opened the shop decades previously, his son Rick Harrison, and Rick's son Corey, who has worked there since childhood, and is being groomed to take over the shop.[2] The shop is owned by Richard, who offers his opinions on his family's actions but is rarely seen interacting with customers. Other employees also appear, but Rick and Corey Harrison provide all narration. Corey's friend Chumlee, another employee of the shop, also appears in show segments. Contents [hide] * 1 Format o 1.1 Employees * 2 References * 3 External links [edit] Format The format of Pawn Stars involves either Rick or Corey narrating a segment where a customer brings in an object to pawn or sell, followed by a few general historical facts relating to the object. Whoever is evaluating the object goes over potential value with the customer, interspersed with an interview where he explains the basis of his decision to the viewer. A price tag graphic at the bottom corner of the screen provides the ever-changing dollar amount as the two negotiate over the item at hand. When Rick or Corey are unable to evaluate an object, they consult with a knowledgeable source who can evaluate it or what the potential cost of restoring the object is. Following that, they are shown haggling over price with the customer. Each episode features several such segments which can run concurrently with each other or in sequence. In the July 26 and August 2 episodes, R. Lee Ermey appeared at the end of the show in an abbreviated segment as a lead-in to his new show, Lock n' Load. [edit] Employees All of the main recurring employees have worked at the pawn shop for a long time. When their names appear on screen, each is shown on a different denomination of US currency. * Rick Harrison: The boss at the pawn shop. He closes most of the deals. His name appears on the $50 bill. * Corey Harrison: Rick's son, set to succeed Rick as the boss of the pawn shop. Nicknamed "Big Hoss." His name appears on the $10 bill. * Richard Harrison: Rick's father and co-founder of the pawn shop. He is often referred to as "The Old Man". His name appears on the $100 bill. * Chumlee: Corey's best friend. He does most of the other work at the shop, such as testing the items and loading them. His name appears on the $1 bill. * Peaches - Danielle Rainey : A worker at the pawn shop. Her name appears on the $5 bill. Interactions between the employees are occasionally shown, in which they discuss and argue about the best way to run the shop. Examples: * The Old Man setting up a "cuss jar," to which any employee caught using foul language must contribute $1. The jar filled rapidly due to the profusion of cursing in the office. * Peaches being put on the graveyard shift due to her habitual lateness. * Corey accepting a challenge from Rick to prove that he knew about the items in the shop. Rick chose four items at random; for each, Corey had to identify it, state where it was made, and give a good estimate of its worth. He would win $2500 if he succeeded, or take the graveyard shift if he failed. The Old Man, acting as judge, decided that Corey had failed and then put Rick on graveyard as well, for risking the shop's money on this bet. * Rick hiring his niece Kirsten to work at the shop, then offering to give Corey a raise if he could train her to distinguish a real Rolex watch from a fake. She succeeded.
