The manager unlocked the door and let her leave without another word. But security kept an eye out for her from then on.How stupid can she be!?! Every single cashier I've ever dealt with checks closed containers for just this reason. Usually, they don't even ask you to open it & just do it themselves. And her reaction? Please! You just admitted to attempted theft with that lame response.
And oh yeah, the best part of all this is that it's tempered glass. If it chips, it shatters. It's been fun watching all of this unfold.Ok, let me be nitpicky, you are on my turf here. Tempered glass absolutely chips. The tempering process induces tension and compression forces in the glass.
First time I ever had the joy of dealing with a scammer inside a restaurant while NOT actually working. Was very satisfying.So pathetic what people do for a free meal. People are working back there. They put time and effort into the food that you trustingly put in your mouth, and then f**k them over like this 😕
Eventually, the company caught on and sent him a letter that told him they were going to back charge him all but five of those months- which still left him with a few hundred dollars to pay off. Two minutes later the lady from the pharmacy came running in saying a small crying child came in and spun a yarn about falling in the rain, and then tried to pay with a counterfeit €20 note.
He told me he was there a month before and the equipment needed another outside contractor to come in for a repair. The repairman showed the oncologist the part that was faulty and that he had the part he needed. The only thing the repairman needed was for the oncologist to sign a purchase order so they could authorize the billing.
The repairman figured he lost it and just printed a new one and asked the doctor to sign it again. The doctor accused him of trying to double charge and called the cops on the guy for trespassing. He chased the repair guy out of the parking lot. Delivery driver here, he gave me 2 rolls of loonies to cover a 45$ pizza. He skimmed 3$ off each of them so I had to pay out of pocket for part of it. I don't take cash at that house anymore.I would slowly stand there and count all of them, and not give him the pizza until I was sure he paid properly.
Most of the customers I deal with are other businesses. It's not uncommon for them to order something, then put it on a shelf and forget about it for 10 years. Then, when they clean out that shelf they'll try to return the part as if they bought it yesterday.Which is fine as long as the supplier is still selling the same item and it's still in its original state.
She really thought a national chain didn't have their legal ducks in a row for non paying customers. I guess she had maybe done it at a mom and pop place cause I heard her whispering to the guy that she brought in with her that 'last time they just let me take everything'. That’s my favorite one but had plenty of people try to scam us for free food while I was there. I always helped the legitimate customers but so many people tried to pull things like this but couldn’t give us legitimate history.even if they were given the wrong pizzas it was weeks ago and they already ate them so tough tatta really
So he'd give up and he whouldnt get free food. A few times he whould actually call corporate and probably make up some story to them and they whould apply a real credit. Then he'd call back and order it. Either he didn't always beg from corporate or they barred him too because that only happened a couple times.
Now I rarely even looked at what people purchased but $3.99 for a 750ml Penfolds red is crazy low...and scanning as a 185ml Chardy when it was clearly a 750 ml red? I worked at a pet store where we sold some very expensive fish filter media. There was this one guy who would always come in to return packages from this one particular brand but never had the receipts. He'd take the cash and walk away, inevitably coming back within the next few weeks to do the same song and dance.
Pulled a big greasy bolt out of a caesar salad i had plated. .They make roasted chickens that you can buy hot, but they have to sell by the end of the day or they get tossed :. Dude would come in often late at night rigght before we tossed them, and take as many stickers off the other chicken containers as he could and put it on one roasted chicken. He would always approach the register with this sly look on his face, seriously the worst poker face ever.
I used to work at a big blue hardware store. We once had a guy steal some expensive equipment by walking right out into the garden center during the middle of the day, push the items underneath a weak part of the fence, go back through the store and drive away. There was nothing we could do about it besides calling the police.
The best part was when she tried to act offended and said she would never come back to the store again. I use to work in a floral department at a shopping center. We had these trays of flowers that were on sale for a dollar. So what does this woman do? She takes some nearby expensive flowers and switches them into the dollar pots. I mean actually switched them, soil and all. She thought she got away with it until I told her the total was $50 something. She argued up and down they were only a dollar until my manager walked up like a boss and told her you know what you did mam.
Unfortunately we had to kick them out because they stayed way after closing and we had to close down the buffet but weren’t allowed to until all customers left 🙃.Me: *Plays along, we are on a tight ship.*I was working as a cashier and this lady gave me $3.43 in the form of 3 ones, 4 dimes, and three pennies. I put the exact cash because that’s what the item cost in the drawer and gave the receipt. She asked for her change so I had to explain this. She eventually drove off.
Gift cards.... most of the time it's the consumer who gets scammed and some of those stories are incredibly sad, but then there are those who scam the company with them. I can't get into details of that one, but it involved hundreds of different orders and some really big bucks. A previous rep had noted something was off and she suspected fraud, but she had messed up in her documentation a bit, so the scam was still going on when I took a call related to it.
