  • Yeah. I'm going to fall for that.....

    Guy comes in, gets some crap that's total of 1.97. Pays with a twenty dollar bill. I give him the change. He leaves for a minute, comes back, says he has the two dollars, can he pay with that and get his twenty back. Of course he doesn't understand that I already gave him 18.03, and I need that back too.

        Actually, it's a pretty common scam done in a lot of fast food restaurants, although it's generally done with 1)Bigger bills 2)2 people and 3)Non-idiots.

        Usually one person goes in and buys something small, say a cone or a soda, while the other person makes a big distraction at a nearby register. While the cashier is distracted the first person pays with a large bill (usually a $50 or a $100). Then, using the money they just got they say something like "Oh, here, I have $2" They give the $2, get back the $50 and walk out usually $48 to $98 dollars richer.

        One of my bosses had it happen to his business, and he said that the real key to the success is the distraction. If the cashier isn't distracted, they almost always catch the error.

          I can't stand customers who do that. I will give them back 5.00 and then right when I give the cash, they tell me, i have another 5, can i get a ten!
          Which is why if they give me change right AFTER i have counted and taken out the money, i say no!

            In the area of town I work in this happens a lot. Luckily our CSRs are pretty well trained by their first month and so no one gets taken more then once if at all.

                Yes, they do. Why? Because if we were smart, we'd have "real" jobs.

                  And then, ironically enough, they'd have no one to serve them their fast food, fix their car, help them find just the right outfit, whatever it might be. I bet they never thought of that, did they?
                  Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

                      Our store won't do that. The head f LP found out that too many people were getting away with the scam. We had one gut bitch about it at the register to the Head Cashier and MOD then the next time he came in he got caught stealing steaks.
