Try to scam me once, sham on you, try it twice, retard.

So a couple of days ago I came in for the morning shift. The new girl told me she got a call from some poor woman who said her tires were slashed, and she needed to borrow money to fix it, but promises to pay it back within twenty minutes. Naturally our girl said she had no way of doing that. Woman asked if the store could. No dice on that of course.
I said good job, and really didn't think about it afterwards. After all, its not the first time we've had some dipshit trying to get free money from some sob story.

Last night, on grave, I get a call from what sounds like a regular customer. Our converstation shorta went like this....

Me: Plaid <Number>.
SC: "Who is this?"
Me: Plaidman.
SC: Oooh! Your the brown haired boy!
Me: ??? Yeah....? (Fun fact: I'm the only boy that works there!)
SC: Say, have you seen any kids running by?
ME: (Thinking its tuesday night at 11... none of the kids go by here at the time) Noooo....?
SC: Well, honey, my tires were slashed
Me: ...? (Still not remember the converstation the day before). I'm sorry...
SC: So, I'm having tire company coming, and I $310 dollars, but I need $20 dollars more til I get to the bank, and I'll pay you 100 dollars! That's 80 dollar profit!
ME: .... Ma'am, I don't carry that money on me. I don't carry any money on me....
SC: Can't the store do it? Can't anyone help me for twenty minutes???
ME: (Suddenly remembering the converstation) "Ma'am, when did this happened?"
SC: "Well it's happened about a few minut-
Me: Cause that's exactly the same converstation that my co-worker got the other day"
SC: "Well it's been happing in the neigh-"
ME: (Cutting her off) Well right now I'm letting YOU know, that we do NOT loan money to people. I'm sorry your tires were slash, but its NOT our problem
SC: "Bu-"
ME: I have to go. (hang up).

I mean. What the hell. Do people really belive we're that nice? I mean she already failed, so she tries with someone is far more experenced at the store?

for those of us that are new (me) what kind of store do you work at that people would think you would loan them money?

[Gerrinson]

Tell her to stop by with a written statement, then, after she hangs up, call the police to come by your store with a squad car. I'm sure they'd like to know about tires being slashed by punks running around the neighborhood...

Okay i thought maybe you worked for a charity or something

I too work at a convenience store , we do not answer the phone ever, we screen the calls

all we ever get is calls from people trying to sell us loans or losers pretending to look for work to satisfy their job search requirements- hint if you want a job at a store you should go there in person

the other annoying thing about the store phone it seems that if you are going to give a fake number the fake number of choice is a store number
