Last night I stopped at local convenience store/gas station for a soda. Pretty run of the mill . . . grabbed what I wanted, went to the counter to pay. Store not busy at all.
As a female clerk is ringing me up, another clerk (male) is trying to scan a $10 from another guy looking to buy gas.
Me:
FC: Female clerk
MC: Male clerk
SC: Scammer sucky customer
FC: (as the MC holds up the bill to look through it) If it won't scan, it's fake.
MC: Yeah, it's definately fake.
FC: You need to call the cops
MC: Right. (walks to counter, and says to SC): I need your ID, man.
SC: What for?
MC: The bill is fake. Gotta call the law.
SC: Well, uhm. Uhm.. Well, just give it back.
MC: Can't do it, man. I have to turn it over to the police. I need your ID.
For the next several moments, SC hemmes and haws as I finish paying for my soda. Everyone in the store is staring at him now. Not being sure what is going to happen, and it being none of my business, I leave and get in my car.
A few minutes later, SC saunters out (really, he sauntered), stands by his car a minute, then gets in. I watch him in the rear view, wondering what is going to happen next. I can see MC pointing at him, and yelling something.
SC starts backing up his car. The front end was facing the store, and here in North Carolina we only have rear plates. I see MC come out and take a picture of the SC's car as the moron backs comepletely out of the lot onto the busy road!!!
So I back up, turn around, and pull in behind the nimrod, and get his license plate number. Then I turn around and head back into the store as MC is calling the cops.
Me: Hey, dude? Want the guy's license plate number?
(Cue big grins from MC, FC, and the other customers)
One of the customers noted my ID tag and asked what my job was.
Me: I'm a nurse. But when an idiot like that backs up into traffic, and almost causes an accident, he needs to go to jail.
Hope the cops caught him.
