Had this one yesterday.
A woman comes in with a thirty pack of beer. Unopened. She has her receipt, but both myself and my supervisor tell her that by state law we are not allowed to accept beer returns. She leaves with the beer case and the receipt.
About three hours later, a man walks in with the same case of beer.
When my supervisor asks him if she can help her he says, "Yeah, someone sold beer to my MINOR son lastnight. My wife came in here earlier and said you wouldn't do anything about it. Now if you don't give me my money back I'm going to call the alchohol and tobacco agency on you."
Supervisor takes the receipt and says, "Well, let me talk to my manager."
You have to understand off the bat that most of us were well aware that this was a scam. I told the manager on duty that this woman didn't mention her "MINOR" son and that I'd bet my next five paychecks that he was just trying to intimidate us into getting the money.
Of course, when I get back from my lunch, I discover that the LP manager had agreed to give the man his money back but he had left with both the beer and the receipt before he could get it. He must have figured we'd catch on eventually.
