I had a guy come in on Monday who pleaded with me to allow him to return two $100 gift cards because apparently someone else had bought two $100 cards for the same person. I didn't give in and he vowed to take it up with corporate (gift card returns are a BIG no-no).
Yesterday I come in and hear about a guy who came in and pleaded with the manager to let him return a couple of $100 gift cards. His reason? His son is dying and won't have time to use all cards.
Just give it up dipwad.

Don't those have to be activated in order to be used?
The biggest season of the shoplifters as well!
Everyone pay close attention to your customers. See what jacket they are wearing when they walk in vs when they walk out. SHOES also! People think others will not look at their feet. See if someone magically gets....wider as they walk out of the store. People have stuffed clothes under their shirts/pants before!
These people are really sick in the head, but always peek behind the baby to see if there's any clothes or other merchandise in the stroller. Some people stash their goodies amongst their bundles of joy.Leave a comment:

Gift card scammers
Tis the season for gift card scammers. I work at Publix as cashier and this time of year we get people grabbing stacks of $25-$50 gifts for the holidays. Now Publixs' policy is that if the gift cards are for more that $100 but I think $60 is too high and the customer is writing a check we need to go to customer service with the customers license. Now yesterday these two young women came through my line a stack of 6 inches thick of gifts. SO I said "Hello." to them and began ringing them up smelling the BS but it would've been wierd to stop in the middle of the order. They say nothing to me and the cahsier who was my bagger and I kept giving each looks like "She is so a scammer." So I notice about 6 times this woman pulls out either her checkbook or her credit card and places it back in her purse. I get to the end of the order $482.65 and she writes the check and hands it to me and I ask her for ID. SHe thinks nothing of it and hands me her check and ID and I walk to customer service and tell me manager "This chick is shady and show her the check that has name stamped on it. That's right STAMPED! My manager was about to come over to my register when the Scammer yells "Oh wait I'll pay with my credit card>" I ask for her card and her ID and she says "Oh nevermind I haven't chnaged it to my married name cancel the order." SO i had to get and office staff to void off $482.65 in gift cards but my manager got her license plate number and emailed the other Publixes in the area. Tis the season guy for scmaming douchebags.
