    I gave a co-worker a lift - as “thanks” (or more like instead of petrol money) he said he’d get me a KFC.
    He got to the counter and started complaining that he had a bad meal the other day and he was due a free meal.
    The manager got out a diary and asked for the date and name of the complaint.
    My co-worker started raising his voice at them saying that he reported it and it’s not his fault if they didn’t write it down.
    A few minutes of this back and forth and raising his voice at the manager, they finally backed down.
    After he got his free meal he handed it to me, winked and said “See, said I’d get you a meal.”
    - I was fu**ing mortified. I stood there stunned. If I knew he was going to do that I would’ve paid for it myself.

    People who either deal drugs or in some cases just sell a few of a legitimate prescription each month to help ends meet will sometimes accept gift cards or use of the person’s food stamp card, however users scamming for a fix will almost always try to get cash because the most they’ll get is 50 cents on the dollar for anything other than cash.

    I worked nights as a cashier at a grocery store back when I was in college (m, 20 at the time). One night, I was working the tobacco aisle. Two teenage girls come through asking to buy some cigarettes. I say, "Do you have ID?" They then turn to flirting. I still go, "Do you have ID?" One of them says she'd like to go out with me if I just did this one little favor. I replied. "Sorry, I don't date smokers."

    That first one reminds me of when I worked at K-Mart a decade ago. Someone was trying to return a PS3, but the serial numbers on the console didn't match the box, and the store manger called me up from electronics for my opinion.
    The console was dirty the USB ports rusted, fan dusty, and such. Clearly this thing had been long used. Told him that console was clearly not a new item, and with the mismatched serial numbers clearly didn't come in that box.
    They did the return anyway, despite these people clearly having bought a new one, and put either their old console, or a cheap, busted one they bought from a yardsale, or such in order to scam a free, brand new console.
    One of the dumbest scam attempts I've ever seen, but they got away with it, because the manager decided "Maybe the warehouse boxed it wrong after a refurbish..."

As in so old that they can't be loaded in store or even used since they have no bar code. They claim another store gave it to them and the girl working this morning had allowed payment so why can't I? I said "oh, this morning? At THIS store?" They said yes and I smiled and said "that's so weird because I'm the only girl who works here and we're so short staffed I've been here all day." They quietly grabbed the cards and left.

    Use to work at a grocery store in the deli/bakery department. I was restocking the ice cream cakes when this man approached me. He told me, "Hey, my buddy Dave said I can have one of those cakes for free, because the previous one I bought was damaged, and it's my daughter's birthday today," then he went on about how he is out of town, and travelled a long way to visit his family, etc. I was fully prepared to mark the cake down and write on it if he asked, but I informed him I'll have to double check with Dave. He got offended, and started yelling at me. I stood there staring as if he grew two extra heads, because what I said wasn't abnormal. He realized that his anger wasn't persuading me, and people were staring. Then he told me he's going to tell the store manager as he was walking away to the exit and not the Customer Service counter. I later found out from coworkers who witnessed the interaction between him and I that he asked the name of our supervisor before approaching me.

My first day at a new department someone wanted to return an Item they didn't need (don't know anymore what item) He bought the Item 2 Months ago, return policy was 2 weeks and by law you don't have any when buying in shop.
    He went so crasy that he wanted to beat me up after denying him a gift card or refund. A colleague had to interviene and also had to say loudly that he and him could take a 1v1 when the customer didn't get the f out. Do to the fact that my colleague did MMA and looked like that, the customer backed up quickly and got kicked out.

    The supermarket I work at has different colored discount stickers for ever department. Produce, deli, bakery and grocery/dairy/frozen all have different colored 50% off stickers while the meat department has white 30% stickers. The stickers are also designed so that the paper part breaks away from the adhesive if you try to peel them off. One day I had a man come up to me with an expensive cut of meat and one of the florescent orange stickers I had just put on some chocolate milk not even five minutes earlier. He saw the sticker gun then told me "The sticker fell off and for some reason won't stick could you just give me another one" before handing the sticker to me. And I told him "Unfortunately I can't use my department's stickers to mark down a package of meat, it could cost me my job. The meat department has a different color sticker." He then tried to ask for the old sticker back, which I refused to do, reiterating that it could cost me my job since management knew I had my department's sticker gun signed out.

He checked with the meat dpt and said he knew he did it with cheese another time and he’d be banned if he did it again!

    Couple weeks later I’m in the back of the park and we have the same game there. She comes up running to me since I came from the back room saying he won again. I called my boss saying she’s back and he groaned and said he’ll be out there with maintenance.
    They came out and she tried saying he won over and over and they looked at the system and still no winner. They told her if she tried this again she will be taken to the front and her season pass taken away.

    I was working the electronics department at a WalMart, and Blu-ray players were fairly new and pretty expensive. This “lady” brings in a copied page from a Target flier showing a Blu-ray player for $99. First thing I’m thinking is, why did she bring in a copy instead of the original? Also, the alignment of the prices on that copy were kinda janky. I got the store manager over there and he said he would have to call the Target store, and if that price was correct we would honor it. She threw a fit, but left the store. A few days later I get that Target flier in MY mail. The price of that player was $199 or $299, I don’t remember for sure, that was close to 25 years ago. The women had masked out the first digit and ran the ad thru the copier.

    at my job, we had one week where we ended up giving the bank $200 in counterfeit money. all cashiers are required to use a marker to check if any 50 or 100 dollar bills are fake, but either someone didn't do it, or we got a shit load of fake 20s.
    on a slightly unrelated note, a lot of customers also get pissed when they need to give their ID to buy alcohol (especially when they're like 70 years old), but it's because the register won't let us enter alcohol without a valid birthday (we can't just enter a fake birthday because whoever's in charge of making sure we're following alcohol laws properly launches a sting operation every once in a while to see if we're following the laws)

      We've gotten hit by 4 fake $100. They look like the old 100's before all the color was added. I've seen two more fakes that I didn't take, but the younger and inexperienced coworkers weren't as lucky. Sometimes counterfeiters wash the cash and print fake on top, (I've seen this too, where the original bill was a 50 and they printed a 100 on top), so the counterfeit pen marks it as real.

    I used to work at PetSmart. One evening a girl came in asking to return a bunch of dog collars, harnesses, and other apparel, no receipt of course. Since there wasn't a receipt or an account I could look up to check the transaction history, I called my manager over. She claimed she bought them a month ago for her grandma's dog but none of them fit. My manager responds, "Well that's not possible, these are brand new, we just put these out on the floor last weekend."
    The girl retorts that she got them at a different location in the city an hour away. My manager says that every store in our district gets the same specific new products and same display instructions. I don't remember much about what happened after, but I do remember the girl kept digging her heels in despite being caught in an obvious lie, was weirdly calm about it and she didn't any money from us.

I go get my manager I tell him who is on the sales floor switching tags. My manager in disbelief until he observes the executive switching tags himself. Now sometimes we know the customer switched tags but if you get greedy we shut you down. Ten to fifteen percent price difference we let it go it could be our mistake. This guy put 250 dollar price tags on a few 2800 suits. My manager shut him down at the wrap counter. He called corporate on our store. I never caught a famous millionaire trying to steal before. Switching tags is stealing. This was before the auto industry bail out Bush was still president.

    People who are sympathetic to thieves in any establishment really don't consider that there's an element about trying to short change and take things that aren't yours that has nothing to do with it being a "harmless crime" or "not your money" or "the company is trash anyway." It's the element of taking advantage of someone. I don't care if Walmart loses $20 out of the till. I care that the kid at their first job still figuring out the world is or the tired parent working their second job to feed their kids being harassed and lied to. There's no way around abusing, belittling, and insulting a person with this. We can come up with many reasons that someone might revert to this that are sympathetic, and that's reasonable to have sympathy for, but for some reason we're all looking at the people tasked with keeping the store going as if they aren't, in fact, people at all. They don't factor in when we start arguing about the ethics of theft. A theft from your place of employment, where you are trusted to keep things, can feel as violating as a home invasion to the vulnerable. You are inherently going to feel some ownership of the work you put into something, you are inherently going to be both pressured into having pride in your work and will likely feel a certain amount by nature. Why don't we talk about these people like people for a moment? The company treats them enough like a number, please start factoring them in as something more than a number in the discussion.

People consider it just “petty theft” and what not, and think oh insurance will cover the loss. But those insurance claims come at a price. The honest customers who are actually there to buy the product end up being punished with higher prices, etc. I work hard to make my store look good and I spend 40 hours/week of my time there. I’m tired of feeling unsafe at my job because people want a quick buck to turn around and resell or see something that they just want but don’t actually want to spend the few dollars to buy it. Plus, it’s just giving me extra paperwork I have to do every time someone steals.

    • @celestialwish1478
      @celestialwish1478 3 місяці тому

      When I say stealing from (any big chain) is okay, what I mean is not paying for your toilet paper or diapers or whatever because it’s too expensive is fine.
      What I DON’T mean is that it’s okay to harass employees or steal big ticket items to try turning them around for cash.
      If you’re stealing crap and get confronted, don’t make a scene. Don’t be a problem.
      In a lot of these capitalist hellscapes, the employees are not paid enough to actually care if you steal something.
      People working registers or stocking shelves at Target, Walmart, etc, shouldn’t care about the profit margins of the store itself. Those buildings are a capitalist’s wet dream, they’re making money whether or not you steal your toilet paper.
      You’re literally getting scammed if you work at one of those places and try to care about the people who employ you or the building they’re running, because they do not care about you, and most of them don’t pay enough to have their employees have any feelings about what happens to the store other than apathy and concern for their own paycheck.
      It says something (good) about your character that you care about every job you go into. That you take pride in your work. That a theft from your workplace feels like a personal slight to you. But that isn’t the case for, I would assume, the majority of workers from how many stories I’ve heard.
      A lot of times its not ‘making a quick buck’ or ‘not wanting to spend the extra few dollars’ its “If I have to decide between multiple essentials, I am stealing something.”
      As bad as I feel for the workers who have to deal with karens trying to return stolen goods, I feel even worse for the mother who can’t afford both rent and food for her kids.
      In a worse situation, that mom working her second job to provide for her family would be in the same spot. When you’re forced to make a choice like that, it isn’t just not wanting to spend the money, it’s survival.
      For me, someone’s survival comes over the desire for comfort in the work environment. It may sound heartless, but if you cannot handle theft and feel unsafe in your work environment when people steal, you probably should not be working at a place where theft is common.
      In an ideal world, people wouldn’t need to steal to survive. These corporations are perpetuating a cycle where people need to steal, and then complaining that people steal.
      Even if these otherwise-honest people stopped stealing, you would still have the Karens and the type of people who steal something and try to return it.

I've never stolen anything in a store in my life, but knowing what he knows, I'm never gonna even entertain the thought now.

    I have so many stories I’ve only worked 3 years of retail. I was a manager most of the time. I’ve had customers put price stickers on the item that didn’t match. The customer would look at me when I peeled off the sticker showing the actual price. They would act stupid saying it was like that like. how dumb do you think I am? I’m a manager 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have so many stories. I work in the medical field like good riddance.

    Worked at a Wilson's Leather place many years ago. We had a policy that if an item was damaged we would fix it for free or give a new one if it couldn't be repaired. I think the items had to be less than a year old to get a free one, something like that. So this guy comes in with this obviously years old wallet. He says "I know you can't fix it so I'm going to go pick out a free one." "No, it doesn't work like that," the manager says. "Yes it does, I got that one free as well." So she's trying to explain to him that he can't just buy one years ago and keep coming back and getting free stuff every time the new free one gets worn out. She got so tired of arguing with him that she told him that he could only get the cheapest wallet there.
    Another scam at that same store that involved the first manager I had when I began work there. She was a seamstress. You know that policy of free repair? Well the items that we repaired had to be sent off to the home office for repair. So the manager would tell the customer, "Oh I'll do the repair. It won't be free but I'll just charge you a really small fee and then you don't have to wait for it to go to the home office and then get it back again." The district manager also shared the back office at our particular location and knew full well she was doing this. So when she got caught...they both got fired.

    So I work at a self-checkout at a certain members only store. The machine brings up an error screen that this guy's membership card is invalid. I ask to see the card.
    It's *not* him on the card. The member is clearly Asian, and this guy is white as hell.
    The conversation that followed:
    "Sir, this photo doesn't look like you."
    "Oh yeah, I lost a lot of weight."
    (In my head: ...And an *ethnicity* too.)
    Being professional, I have to do things by the book.
    "Okay, just to confirm, can I see your ID?"
    (He hands me the ID. The name on the membership is an Asian name I daren't try to spell from memory. On the ID, his name is "Blake ******")
    "The name on your ID is different from the card, sir"
    (In my head: Just give up, you're caught.)
    "Oh, I had a name change recently, I hadn't fixed it on the card yet."
    (In my head: The card that has been rendered invalid. Which is usually done when a card is LOST OR STOLEN.)
    I tell him I'm going to go check with a supervisor to see what we can do (I'm in fact getting them to confront him). Unfortunately, while I was doing so, the other self checkout attendant, sweet and wellmeaning, got a different supervisor to clear the override because he thought that was why I was looking for one. Luckily, since the card was cancelled, he couldn't use the credit card feature to pay. So at least credit card fraud was averted.

    The kid may not have actually needed the Adderall. It's possible, even likely, that the dad got him the diagnosis and prescription at an age where he would be speaking to the doctors on his sons behalf about his behavior and "symptoms", or even coached his son on what to tell the doctors. The person who wrote the story made it a point to mention that the child was "chill", so at least no signs of hyperactivity, although hyperactivity isn't present in the inattentive type of ADHD, often referred to as ADD.

He's not only using his son to get drugs, he's making sure the son is going to have a medical record of needing this which is going to follow him for decades and taint every interaction he has with a doctor or other medical professional who has to look up his record - they're all going to presume he needed this at the time, and hence be looking for signs of needing it again. It's much easier to find things that aren't there if you're looking for them, after all - entirely human nature, etc. :-(

    Used to work at a drug store back in the dark ages of paper rainchecks. Back in the even darker ages when us mere cashiers were allowed to issue them lol (this company only allows shift leads and up to issue them these days). I wrote a raincheck for one of my store's regular raincheck and coupon scammers. We knew this dumb woman so whatever. Have a raincheck. Limit was 6. She comes back with this raincheck something like 3 weeks later and has like... 26? I think? Cans of tuna. I look at the basket of tuna cans and this stupid *painfully obviously* altered raincheck for "26" cans at that previous sale price. I tell her I'm only giving her 6. She protests saying is clearly says she can get 26. I refuse again, saying the raincheck was not right, the limit is 6. Take it or leave. She asks me if I'm calling her a liar, that I claim this raincheck was forged. I just... Sigh then laugh. Tell her, yes, you are lying. This raincheck was written in black ink. Why is the 2 in blue ink? Also, that's *my* signature at the bottom. I wrote this raincheck. Take the 6 or gtfo. She actually left 😂 my boss was in the office laughing at the camera feed. I miss being allowed to tell off scammers. Customer is always right now 😮‍💨

This shoes store has small running strip, so she run on those strip away from us. All of sudden, the store worker go run to catch my daughter thinking it was a theft. I surprised, the store manager surprised, and we both burst in laugh. I told them that we are sorry not to tell them about the run test, and they were sorry to think the other way. We end up buying the other model, and for sure we ask their permission to do "run test" before buying them

    I’ve never been scammed as far as I know but its really easy to get free /extra stuff from Walmart pickup & delivery. (I’ve never done this and I know this because I work at Walmart) You just call and tell them you were missing something on your order and they’ll either give you a refund or replace the missing item for free

    • @roxcyn
      @roxcyn 2 місяці тому +1

      They keep track of it, though. So don't do it unless your order really is wrong. Why I know? The delivery driver or store didn't give us half our order (it was about an $80 order) and you could clearly see from the picture it was only 3 bags. We got standard grocery stuff, nothing expensive. So the nice lady on the phone said oh no that's not fair at all and she refunded the whole order! 😮 I was speechless. (Sadly, I assume the driver lost his pay?). The next time we had problems they made us call each time so I knew it was because of that order. So my honest advice, don't lie because they'll make you jump through hoops. If you become a problem customer, you'll not be able to get refunds.

    I say we cannot do that and move the bag of item's out if his reach. My manager then comes up and talk tothe guy whilr i serve another customer. I'm not sure what was said, bit i think my manager was explaining that we couldn't do what the guy wanted.
    He then demands a meal deal for free (meal deal is a drink, sandwich and snack, like a pack of crisps or chocolate bar, for abot £3) for free. Manager explains that we cannot do that.
    I think he then insults my manager as hes led out of the shop.

    No smoker anywhere in human history has returned a pack of cigarettes, lol. They know they're going to run out eventually and just have to buy them again. And it's not like they get any cheaper over time, so better to pay today's price than tomorrow's.
    Legally, there is no law which mandates retailers to accept the returns. They "can", but the law also says they don't have to, so they don't, unless the item is defective.
    Also, most stores don't own the cigarettes, they are sold on consignment via a distributor, who will not take them back from the store unless defective, so the store would make maybe 15¢-20¢ on the sale and lose $7-$12 on the return. The exceptions to consignment deals like that are Indian Reservations (in some cases, not all), and smoke shops. But gas stations? Hell no. Unless there's a very new and naive employee working the till, most will tell you to eat a dick. The only people looking for a return are scammers. Probably crack heads if they're hustling that hard for a dollar or two, lol.
