In which I foil a car wash scammer.

[edible_hat]

Our DIY car/truck wash bays take $1 and $2 coins and special tokens. We give out tokens to people who don't have any cash with them, as well as a few account holders. Tokens are non-refundable, so the honest people keep any left over for the next time they want to wash their vehicle.

This SC got a bunch of tokens on his company's account. After he'd finished washing the truck he had a few tokens left over. Thought he'd try to scam some cash back on the company account.

SC: "These tokens don't work. Give me dollar coins."
Me: "We can't do that, I'll exchange the tokens instead."
SC: "Fine, whatever" (takes new tokens, goes to car wash, starts coming back in less time than it takes to put three tokens in the coin slot)
SC: "These don't work either, give me dollar coins."
Me: "I'll come out and help you."
SC: (looks daggers but doesn't say anything)

Sure enough, the tokens work for me. SC presses low pressure rinse then pretends to press soap.

SC: "Put some soap in the f***ing machine!"

I just walked away, back into the store. Told my manager about it and he said "It's good you're still smiling after that encounter. As soon as they get abusive, they're no longer good customers and you don't have to be nice to them any more."


(also, wouldn't lube work better in a f***ing machine?)

Go ahead. Apparently "go ahead" it too short a message and the bits between quote tags aren't counted, so here are some more words.

Thanks ^_^ Yeah I noticed that before too, think it needs to be 10 letters?

There's actually a website about those. <cough> An engineer showed me. NSFW obviously. But it occurs to me that if today's youth put as much effort into the space program as they did in those machines......we'd be on planets outside the solar system.

I will never be able to look at a Kitchen Aid mixer the same way again....

Yeah, soap would burn like a sonovabitch I would think.

... Not that I would know...

Can you get that in writing?

Oh God, I'm sorry!

Yep, definitely this guy was trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Maybe he wanted some extra cash for the video arcade or something. It always amazes me how things work when the employee tests the same objects the SC says don't work!

O_O This thread made no sense to me.

Anyway, wow. What a freaking loser. Who tries to scam their company out of a few bucks? I mean really. Personally I would have laughed. "No, They are nonrefundable. I can exchange it if ya want though"
