How To Scam A Scammer, Part 6
(I’m a customer waiting for my pizza and overhear this conversation.)
Cashier: *to another customer* “Hey, what can I get you?”
Customer: “Just a bottle of water, please.”
Cashier: “Sure, that’ll come to $1.09.”
(The customer hands him two dollars, and then pauses.)
Customer: “Actually, could I get you to exchange these five ones for a five?”
Cashier: “Sure.”
Customer: “Oh, wait… can I exchange the two fives for a ten?”
(This continues for a few minutes until the cashier smiles and says that he has to get back to work helping me, since my pizza is ready. The guy leaves.)
Me: “People like that always make me nervous. I’ve had bad run-ins with short changers.”
Cashier: “Yeah, I was wise to his game, though.”
Me: “Oh, yeah?”
Cashier: “Yeah. He shorted himself two dollars.”
