  • Change scammer thwarted by his own pockets

    I don't get to post much on this site, not being in customer service, so I thought I'd share this incident I witnessed from a couple days ago.

    So, my kids and I went to the local W-Greens to get some drinks. When we get to the register, there's one customer already in line. He's purchased a few low-cost items, and looks like he's just finished up. He starts to turn to leave, then whips back around, claiming he's been shorted $20. In his hand he's holding a $50, a $20, and a few smaller bills. I'm guessing he broke a $100. The cashier opens her drawer, going over it, and the guy starts making a big presentation of how he doesn't have another $20 in his hands. The cashier offers to get the manager, and he puts his hands down, brushing past his pockets. And what should fall out and hit the floor? A $20 bill He looks down at it as it hits, then looks up to see me, my kids, the cashier, and everybody behind me staring at him.

    So he bends down and picks it up. "Oh, heh, here it is! Whew!" Eyes darting to everyone, he looks down at my son and says, "No, you can't have it!" and quickly leaves.

    Pretty bad when your own pants won't support you in your criminal endeavors

    I remember when I was reaching to pick-up a twenty that a little kid had dropped, and got to it JUUUST before some grown man sprinted to a stop to try and grab it. I gave him a nice big smile and said "phew! Sure glad I found this, the poor little boy that lost it is really upset!" He just...kinda tried to look like he hadn't really been trying to grab the money, and I turned and gave it back to the little kid who then gave me a big hug!
