Amazing.
Polish counterfeiter: "Can you give me change for an $18 bill?"
Polish "victim": "Sure -- would you like three 6's or two 9's?"
A short change artist once tried it out on me. I made $35.
I assumed they just expected them to make correct change from actual cash.
lol
In my youth while working at gas stations, con artists would try tricks but they didn’t work on me. I would take their bill(s), place it to the side on the cash register till out of their reach and then make change, counting it out on the counter. Too few kids count out money as change now, unfortunately. If the con artist tried anything, like saying they gave me a larger bill(s), I would point to their money still on the side of the till and show them I knew what they were up to. After they retreat, I stick their money in the cash register till. Sometimes I was working graveyard shift all alone, but had a .32 revolver under the counter to keep me company, given me by the boss.
“My aunt gave me that! She wrote happy birthday on it!”
A friend of mine worked at a gas station. After a customer would leave, my friend would drain the gas pump hose into a can. The next customer would unwittingly pay for filling up the pump hose before any gas got into his tank. My friend ended up working for the FBI. LOL
Something smells fishy here. Would a wal mart cash register have enough cash in it to make the loss of $2,100 not obvious. That’s 105 $20 bills. I don’t think a register is big enough to hold that many 20s. And I don’t think they keep 20 Benjamins in there either. Either this cashier has a sub freezing IQ, or she was in on it.
I love that movie!
Or the ‘reporter’ misplaced a decimal. Maybe the actual amount stolen was $210.00, not $2100.00.
But who’s going to click for info on your basic $210. robbery, even from Walmart?
Yeah. It’s doubtful they would have that much cash in the register.
Was it a good ole’ H&R .32? One of the best inexpensive guns ever made.
They must be Congressmen.
No, Congressmen go for wallets.
$2,100 sounds like a lot to have in the till.
Before I looked at the video, I was almost certain that the cashier had to be in on it, but he was very slick, repeatedly asking to break larger bills, confused the heck out of her.
The $2,100.00 was taken by two individuals running the scam on multiple transactions over a short period, as I understood the report. One register isn’t likely to have $2,100.00 in it at any given time, I don’t think.
This age old scam was run on my dad’s old business from time to time...they never got me, but from time to time they would nail one of our help....even though we would train some of those kids to watch for this situation.
