This one happened a few years ago, But I still get a kick out of it.

We had a PS2 demo set up for customers and as such, an empty box. So two of our staff decided to have a little fun with the manager on duty. One of them got a buddy of his to come in and they security wrapped the box to make it look genuine.

Well, the stage was set. They waited until the manager was by the door when the guy they got in went past with the box in his bag, setting off the alarm. Suddenly, the kid bolts and one of the guys who was in on it chases him. (a big no-no).

The manager at this point is crapping bricks, more for the chasing after than anything else, compounded by the fact that the staff member who chased him out comes back in, holding his bag and the runner with his hands pinned behind his back.

The manager is just about ready to start screaming at the associate, claiming we could get sued for this when he pulls the box out of the bag. The empty box.

He turned a new shade of red that night, more for embarrassment than anything else.
