Was at work today and i got tricked into giving a "Con artist" £60 (i think)... fuck knows how it happens he was good, quick hand movements, fast speaking, great liar

The area manager was phoned and he wasnt a very happy man...

I might be getting the sack

Gonna find out in a few days when our manager comes back off holiday


Thats been my only mistake on the tills since i started and its a big one

 

[*Exor*]

Oooh £60, I'm sure your managers children are going to starve now

 

[S-Gray]

It wouldnt be a problem (well a big problem)... but all the other tils have been down over £300 this week (not my tills)...

cause for concern

 

[Durzel]

What job are you in?

How exactly did he con you out of £60?

 

[Clowneh!]

tell me how please

 

[Durzel]

"Did you give me a £20?"
"No I gave you two fifties mate"
"Oh ok"

 

[Testin da Cable]

I gather you've learnt from this SG. I'd not be too worried, but keep an eye out in future heh

 

[S-Gray]

I have learned, no doubt about it, wont make the same mistake twice

Durz: Retail assistant at Farmfoods..

I dont know how i managed to lose £60 , at tops i thought it was around £20 until my Ast. Manager told me lot more than that was taken..

 

[echo]

You've not really done anything wrong here, so you won't get the sack, chill

Well, as i say the Area Manager was not pleased, i believe he actually blew his top when he was told...

Im gonna get the third degree when the manager comes in, and i just cant explain how it happened because it happened so fast, but i dont think thats gonna be a good enough excuse for monday

If they look at CCTV and see that you left a till open, or money on the counter then maybe they'll do you up the arse over mishandling of money... If it was a skilled thieving stain then they can't really kick you out for one mistake (assuming they aren't looking for an excuse.... have you been a naughty boy?)

Worked in sports shops for years and seen these people in action quite a few times. Gray there damn good a t what they do, ok there cheating coniving twats but there damn good at it. Speed of movement and of tounge confuses alot of people and these people have been doing it for a while.

Just wait untill you get one who has been doing it for a week and you can piss yourself laughing at there feeble attempt, most times they will confuse themselves and end up forgetting what they wanted in the 1st place

 

[mank!]

I doubt you'd get the sack over that, you've not been working there that long have you? If anything you'll get a slap on the wrist and reminded what con artists are like.

Something made me chuckle today, I was in a garage and in the queue behind some pikey who was buying a newspaper and a drink. He pulled out a wad of fifties and rolled one off and paid for his newspaper and drink with a £50 note, made me chuckle.

 

[kameleon]

It's called "tricking" SG its not the first time its happened and it wont be the last. Bloody scousers for you !

Something similar happened to me when i used to work on the tills in an Off License for extra cash in school holidays.

I didnt notice at the time it occured but when I cashed up at the end of the day and was quite a bit short I knew when it had been done.

It really sucks cos I ended up having to pay for the shortfall!!

I'm sure you wont get fired. Hang in there!!

 

[Ono]

Twating cunting mother fucker bollocks tit shit piss wank.


I feel for you SG.

 

[(Shovel)]

So hang on? What happened?

Did someone reached over and take money while your back was turned? Or did he do some kind of refund scam on you?

I used to work in Woolworths in Cambridge and we had a lot of training about correct til procedure etc. Also, we had tils that had different levels of "open" so that they only exposed the small change when it springs out, and you have to physically pull it out to get anything larger.

Refund scams are a bitch too. The same people would come back having just taken an item off the shelf to try and get a refund. Sometimes it would be a homeless guy trying to get a few quid for something cheap but we had some regulars that would pick the most expensive toy on the shelf and bring it up with the "No I haven't got the reciept but I have a right to a refund dammit" line.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?

Did I he pull cash out of the till when you weren't looking or something?

Nah, guy goes into the shop where SG was serving and asks him to change a £60 note for the phone.

He obliges.

Obviously the store security aren't very good, they should already know about these people. Area manager is probably pissed off because it looks bad on his/her record.

You won't get the sack unless you did something utterly dumb.

 

[S-Gray]

I dont think he took the money out the till, i think i did it for him myself..

Let me try to explain, even tho its still very messed up for me at the moment.

The man come in with a friend, they walk upto the till while im serving customers, when the customer finished, he asked me to change a £20 note (Now, i cant for the life of me remember what i gave him its all a blur) so i changed it, then he took out some coins and asked if he could change them too, THEN he said oh wait it doesnt matter give me back the £20 note, (im sure i took the money back off him for them, infact positive) then all of a sudden he threw me into confusion when he said i didnt give him the £20 note, he showed me his empty wallet and then i thought.. well maybe i didnt give him it... so i handed over another £20...

I knew something then was wrong, so i got some paper to write his description down, but he had pegged it out of the store...

I looked around, knew id been had, and customers where looking at me saying "that guys just confused you.. hasnt he?"

I made a mistake in not telling my Assistant Manager straight away, instead i told him about 10/15mins later when the queue died down... but by then it was too late to file a report to the police coz hed have been long gone.



/edit

Also, we dont really have store security, only the Manager/Ast. Manager who has walky talkies to know about Shoplifters operating in the area, we dont have security cameras altho i wish we did now, specially on the tills

 

[Tom]

Unless you have a policy of not changing money without purchasing goods, I'd say you were ok, but you're in for a bollocking.

 

[Lester]

You wont believe me now but when I started reading this thread I was gonna post about a great scam that has been used on our shop, that is soooo easy that i'm almost tempted to have a go.

And then reading the last post I have no need, coz that's it.

If you want gray I will explain it in detail later when I've time?

 

[Testin da Cable]

damn countback tricks. a mate who worked as a exchange teller used to tell me about them

 

[mr.Blacky]

Well at least you didnt accept a counterfit banknote, no I wasnt me because I know that 20 euro note aint yellow.

A £60 note??? That would've set alarm bells off in my head anyway. What next, 3p coins?

"Alright mate, I need to return two items please.. lost my receipt soz... just this chocolate teapot and skirting board ladder."

We had it all today, the girl on the other till was given a fake fiver, it was ripped to fuck, taped together but for some reason she still accepted the note..

Yeah... id like to hear about this scam thing Lester... I wouldnt use it against someone else because im an honest person unlike some tossers who live around my area, but still its best to know em to counter-act em...

 

[echo]

The best(worst?) one I ever saw was some tit in our shop says he's an off duty policeman to our security guard, and that a girl has been acting dodgily. Store security guard tells all the staff (me included) and we all go a bit closer and keep an eye out - whilst the 'policeman' legs it with several hundred quids worth of stock

 

[stu]

It's very easy to defeat this kind of scam.

"Can you change a twenty mate"

"No"

And there you have it.
