Things people don't know about your job.

off topic.. sorta, but About screwing your Work

When I was 15 I was a bag boy with my friend as cashier at Tom Thumb, we had two killer scams..

1. Always work Sunday mornings when people spend $250-500 on groceries. Now what you do is ask if one of these people has a reward card before you start to bag, if they say No move to phase 2. Finishing checking them out and bag them if they pull out a check or cash tell them the total.

Example: Total is $300 bucks the person writes a check for $300, but at the last minute you scan YOUR reward card and more than likely the total comes down $30-50 dollars in savings. So now the Total is $270, so you take the pre written check of $300 and tender it, register opens for change you take a 20 and 10 out and "deposit" it in your coupon pouch.

If you do it fast enough and smooth enough the customer won't think anything of it. How often do people RE-check thier total after they have just written a check for $300? If they are watching the cashier, I would ask if they want help out to their car that takes thier attention off the cashier and the cashier only needed 3 seconds to enter in the store reward card # and tender the money.

Now if a person does ever look at their reciept and question you, just tell them to fill out a reward card application that YOU personally hand them (you dont want them going to the customer service desk where they can fill out an application and get savings for things they JUST bought, then your busted!!! Because you already took out the savings!) and NEXT time they come back they can SAVE That $30 that you took off and pocketed from the sale.

On a Sunday you could to that 10 times avg about $30 bucks each time.

Split it with your cashier and thats $150+ cash that day..

At 15 that was perfect!!!

The 2nd scam... I am tired of typing, IOU on that one..

Fuk customers, its all about Money!!!

I don't **** with food if they are rude, but I do charge them for shit that I normally give to a good customer for free.

Oh ya, i do that too.

I charge them full price and then ring it up coupon price for the driver

I used to fix video games at the mall when I was 18. Back then that was the only real video games you could play, and parents would just drop entire hordes of kids off at the game room to be babysitted by the electronics while they hide from their kids for a while somewhere else in the mall. Well my secondary job there was to give out change with one of those quarter dispenser deals on my belt right....well I alawys felt like a retard wearing one of those and never would, but when my manager was there I had to. So when parents came in with their horde of little funky kids, they'd lay down $20 at a time to dispense to the kids...so instead of going to a change machine they came to me. Everytime you pressed down on a lever on the quarter dispenser, 4 quarters came out. Well all you had to do is set one up with only .50 in it... So you motion your hands and release 4 dollars , and 50 cents in quarters.

Now thats not alot of change, you're right. But you must understand the amount of parents that came in there and did that. By the end of the day I was over $50 in just quarters. And the kicker was when old grannies came to the gameroom and give their grandkids silver quarters, they make a distinct noise when thrown in with hundreds of regular quarters....so we'd just switch those out with normal quarters and save the silver ones. Also sometimes you got confederate dollars which were worth $$$$$

That and I made my ex-girlfriend always work my shifts....stupid b!tch.

Redemption tickets are the biggest scam....so are fuzzy animals that you save up hundreds of thousands of little tickets for to trade in for an animal. You spend almost 20x more money then the item is worth.

oh also, that spray stuff that removes gum from video games (called gumoff) .... I found if you fill regular birthday ballons with it the gas is super dense and makes it into the same general dynamics as a basketball....you can even dribble with it.

Not very much shady shit goes on where I work....other than people trading product to the local coke man. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

oh and a lil advice when speaking with your phone provider, record your calls. Most likely if you tell them that so and so said this they will just ignore it and move onto something else. and you cant really complain about a person cuz they will say likely use "we appologize for you inconvience" thats one of there sentences that they use to get you to calm down and get off the phone.

so what if you record it, its not like saying you ahve it recorded will get them to do anything else. i've worked for many customer service company's and have had people tell me they recorded something, it didnt really matter.

now as far as stuff about my work, if you know how to work the system and you live in ohio and have aep as your electric provider, you can go a whole year w/out paying a single dollar on your bill

When I worked at Baskin Robbins we never messed with anyones food, but did ***** the occasional person out. Only fun thing we did there was roll up towels and soak them in water. Then touch them to the ceiling of the freezer and they would stick there and then freeze solid after a while. Then proceed to beat the shit out of things with frozen towel-bats.

hahahahahhaha

i worked at little caesars for 3+ years and we used to **** with people all the time. i can only think of one time where someone put bodily fluid into a pizza though...

things we used to do to shitty customers include

loading sauce on there to where it's pretty much inedible(then say we can't replace it beacuse you specified you wanted 'lots of sauce')

put like 10 pepperonis on the pizza(supposed to be 32)

put black olive juice on pizza

put anchovie juice on pizza

only cut through the top of the pizza, and not the crust, so every piece you pulled ripped

hang up on people.

see how many times we could put the same person on hold. I held the record there for putting this lady on hold 13 times, and each time i picked up i used a different name 'hi this is chris sorry about the wait but can i put you back on hold?" and all she said when i finally took her order was "wow must be busy there" so then i told her it would be a 30 minute wait instead of the 15 it takes just so we could screw around some more.
