    "Can you loan me a pack of cigarettes?" (short n sweet)

    Lady who I've never seen before comes up to me at Aid of Rite.

    Her: "Can you loan me a pack of Marb lights? Until I get enough money? I promise to pay you back."

    Me: *blink* "...No."

    Her: "Aww, c'mon, you know I'd pay for it since I'm here all the time!"

    Me: "Sorry, I like my job too much."

    Her and guy companion leave.

    I wish I had thought of this, but I think someone once said that if a customer wanted to buy something to leave the store with, they had to leave behind a driver's license and a shoe to force them to come back? If I was thinking faster I would've asked for that.

    I'd rather they leave behind a form of payment.

      This woman asked us once if she could borrow some candy molds, use them, then bring them back.

        I've seen people bum a smoke (one single cigarette), but a whole pack because she is broke, what drug was she smoking?

            I had a friend ask to borrow toilet paper once.

            No thanks, Dude. You can keep it when you're done.

              Should've said she could borrow the smokes for $x.xx collatterol (Where x.xx is the cost of the smokes)

              Not that she would've gotten it...

                When I was running the gift shop at the museum two summers ago a guy came in and wanted to buy some stuff buy his card wasn't working. So he asked if he could just send us the money later. I opened my mouth to say no, but my boss agreed before I could get the word out. Apparently the man in question knew the owner of a model train store that my boss shopped at. (It was a train museum) So my boss decided to trust the guy. No colateral or anything.

                A money order did come in a few weeks later, but I still think it was a bad idea.

                  I brought my car to a repair shop because the door was jammed. The job only took a few minutes so the shop owner only charged me five buck, trouble is I didn't have cash and he couldn't run my card. He just let me go and I sent the place ten dollers since they were so nice.

                    In general I agree but it would have been on your boss' head since he was the one who agreed to it. Also since he knew the man somewhat it would be easy to track him down.

                      The local garage does that sort of thing for me on small jobs...but then I've been going there since the late 80's -- I really DO know the owner just because I've been going there for so damn long (they remember every car I've ever driven), and they know I'm good for it.

                      But for some guy that isn't known on sight by the entire staff? Uh-uh.

                        Same thing with me, only it was when we were 24/7.

                        Bum comes in and asks me if I "trust" him with a pack of cigarettes until the bank opens.

                        It was even funnier than the time a guy tried to get me to give him one hundred dollars from the drawer with a blank Key Bank card as his only form of collateral.

                          Never had someone try to ask for a "loan" of anything from me at the wholesale club. Given we sell our cigarettes by the carton, not the pack, it would be a bold person indeed who would ask for a loan of a carton.

                          Did have someone ask if they could bum a smoke off me when I was at the cigarette counter. They were surprised when I told them I don't smoke.
