  • Foiled scammer and other stupidity(long)

    I got all these today.

    Scamer:

    Guy comes up to the register and wants me to ring up a muffin a beverage for while he shops. He pays with a debit card and wants $100 back.

    S1: Can I have a 5 and 5 ones.
    Me: sure *begins to make change with available bills*
    S1: Actually, can I have a ten, 5ive one and two fives>
    Me: *annoyed, knowing he is trying to scam me, since it was a DEBIT i put all the money back in the respective slots and start again.* Sure.
    S1: so has it been busy?
    Me: .....
    S1: can I have fresher ones.
    Me: ....
    S1: .....
    Me: Ok, sir her is you change *counts out twice, both tine I come up with $100.*
    S1: *Takes change and counts, place sin pocket* Thankyou.

    A minute later he returns

    S1: Sir, I am short $20.
    Me: Ok. I will need to have a manager count the drawer first.
    S1: why? cant you just give me $20? I ma not trying to scam you.
    Me: Sorry, the manager has to audit the drawer.
    S1: It's only $20.

    I call LP, who calls the Head Cashier and manager. The HC audits the drawer and waits for the manager to check for the correct amount. LP looks at the cameras.

    The register is perfect, but LP caught the guy going off to the side and putting a pill in his pocked while retaining the rest of the money. The Manager comes over...

    M: sir, we have check the drawer and it is correct.
    S1: But I was shorted $20.
    M: Sir, we have you on video putting a bill in you pocket. I would advise you to drip this matter now ans it has already been logged by Loss Prevention.
    S1: You stealing money form me. You will hear back from me.
    M: Ok.
    S1: *stomps off*

    Really dumb question/possible scam.

    We have those cars where when you buy a coffee we will stamp a card and your you 6th is free.

    I ring up a coffee for a SC(stupid or scammer)
    SC: can I have one of those cards where you can get a free coffee.
    Me: sure *gets new card, stamps 1 mark*
    SC: I had one that had 4 on it but lost it. Can you stamp it 4 more times?
    Me: Sorry. I can only stamp it for the number of coffees you purchased.
    SC: really? But I really did have the card!
    Me: sorry.
    SC: That's not fair! *stomps off*

    No, you can not have cookie

    we were baking cookies today. For some reason tons of customers were commenting on the smell. Soem asked if any were ready to buy in the package. we have one annoying guy who will attempt to use expired coupons, and sees no problem asking employees personal (are you married, what are your plans today, etc) questions.

    He buys his coffee and makes a comment on the cookies.
    SC: Mmmm. Those smell good. can I have one?
    Me: sorry, we have to package them.
    SC: but you give cookies to the kids.
    Me: Taht program is for children 12 and UNDER where they get 1 free cookie.
    SC: But I will buy 1 of the fresh cookies.
    Me: I cant do that. That will short a package the we won't be able to sell it.
    SC: I pay $2 for a cookie.
    Me: The only option is to buy a package or I can charge you 3.99 for one cookie to cover the loss of that package.
    SC: 2.99 for one cookie?
    Me: No.
    SC: Never mind. *stomps off*

    I want it fresh

    A lady want to order a cake exactly like one of the ones we have in our display for the next day. Why she drove all the way to the store to order a cake only to drive back the next day to pick up one exactly like we have is beyond me. Even if gas was $1/gall I still have better things to do with my time.

    SC: *holdingup cake she wants* I want one like this, but fresh.
    Me: Those are fresh.
    SC: But the date sys Aug. X!
    Me: That was just made a hour ago and out put out.
    SC: I want one fresher.
    Me: The only want is to order one fresher is to come tomorrow when we will make it that morning.
    SC: Good.

    The SC places an order for a 5 PM pickup. The cake will be made, using pre-made frozen cakes, etc in the morning around 10 AM as opposed to the one that was made 45 minutes to and hour ago.

    I'm 12 (if you invert my age)! Can I has cookie please?

    I used to use those type of cards at Subway. Actually, I still have....4 of them? Something like that. Only have a couple punches for each card, I wonder if they still do that. A few more punches and I could get a free lunch!

        Those change scammers are the worst.

        I've been trained that the second they suddenly change what it is they want you to give them as change to slam the drawer shut and call a manager or co-worker over. But I'm now old enough that no one tries those scams with me anymore. It's always the teenager working part-time who wants to be helpful and gets flustered when the scammer starts to mess with her count who gets victimized.

          and putting a pill in his pocked while retaining the rest of the money.
          a pill? But anyway, that was funny, him trying to scam like that. The M should have called the police before confronting the guy.
          Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

          Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

            Officially it is 12 and under, but f you are polite the age will get extended as much as necessary to get you a free cookie.

                i act like i'm 12, does that count?

                and... if he lost his card, tough luck. who knows maybe he'll find it again and bring it in to join to the first card. At the Lush in Japan, they do points-cards... I ended up having two cards with stamps on both... they were nice enough to take one card and transfer the stamps to the other for me.

                  Oh man, the 12 and under cookie program drove me nuts! You have no IDEA how many ADULTS I had to shoo away from the stupid cookies.

                  And they weren't even that great a cookie. Kinda bland with not much flavour and hard as a rock. Yet people wanted them.

                    We give out free popcorn to children ... yeah, there are parents who will get their kids to get some free popcorn and then take the bag from them ...

                    Or parents who will use it as an excuse for their child to come and get lunch ... (i.e. child in the store, no parent in sight, child comes in just for the popcorn).

                        I work in a store located within a grocery store, and the grocery store gives a free cookie to children. You have no idea how many melted cookies we have to clean out of our carpets every month...

                          Why cookies when they have cake! Let them eat cake!
                          We use the reguar 24pack cookies we put on the shelf. We open package as needed. If just children get the cookies they will last usually 1 to two days during the week and a day or less on weekends. If we make the mistake of leaving the container out on the counter the adults will finish in off in a half hour.

                            What, you didn't take his word for it? After all, if he was scamming you, he'd tell you, right?

                              At the grocery store where I work, the bakery just puts out a sample display of cookies for everyone. Actually, I think the employees go after them the most. Then again, they do have some pretty tasty chocolate chip cookies.
