    Worked at an office supply store. Ringing this guy up and one item rang up higher than he expected. He pointed this out and mentioned he even called to verify it was on sale. The GM happened to be right there so I called him over. Customer says his piece again and the GM, I shit you not, just goes “oh yeah, I remember that call. Well that’s the price.” And just walks away. I just kinda blinked a bit and bagged the rest of the customer’s items without ringing anything else up. He got way more than what my boss was trying to stiff him on. I couldn’t understand what the hell he was thinking.

    Gas guy is lying. No way he could get away with that. The computers track it and it would show up as missing money at the end of the day.

    When I worked at Blockbuster, I miskeyed almost every credit card number on new-member applications. The system didn’t authorize the cards, or even check if the number was valid.

    At the end of every shift, the computer would attempt to charge late fees to the card on record if your balance was >30days old. The failure rate was high due to expired cards anyway, so nobody ever got suspicious.

    it’s not as bad as it sounds, he couldn’t have even made that many milkshakes in two and a half years, the machine would have probably only been working a few days in that time

      He actually only worked the registers, but made himself a sweaty cock shake every night for two years!

      I mean I’ve been in the back of a McDonald’s before. I can see a little bit of sleight of hand getting a few extra nuggets in a box here or there but I’m having a harder time visualizing how the fuck you would manage to pull your pants down and stick your willy in it. Additionally you would have milkshake all over your cock and it probably wouldn’t be very pleasant. I really just struggle to envision how the fuck you would get away with doing that even one time given how much of a slave drive working at McDonald’s is.

    When I worked at the gas station, I never charged for gas. I’d let them put their card in, say “Nah man, gas is free today”, and then steal their bank information. I stole over 1,000,000,000,000 from dumb fucking rubes using this simple little trick :)
