This story is so good, I have to share.
Today I had a call from a lady (I'm using the term loosely). She called up and asked for a manager. Since I was kinda busy at the time, I asked her what this was about. She told me it was about sandwiches. I told her that I could help her. All this happened while I was trying to make an order for customers waiting.
Scammer: "I need to speak with a manager."
Me: "What's this in regard to"
S: "Sandwiches."
M: "OK I can help you."
S: "Last night I came in through the drive through and I was missing some cheeseburgers."
Strike 1: We don't have a drive thru.
M: "We don't have a drive thru."
S: "Last night I came in and was missing some sandwiches."
M: (I know for a fact that she's scamming me, but just for the hell of it
I play along for a short bit) "what time were you in about?"
S: "7:30 or 8"
M: "we closed at 8."
S: "it was close to close."
M: (looking through the journal just for the fun of it) "I'm sorry there were no multiple cheeseburger orders during that time." Strike 2.
S: "OK, bye" and she hung up
The third strike: I was the one working last night, and there were no take out orders, at all, after 5 pm. I also clearly remember every order I had during that time period last night.
BUSTED!
Now I do have her phone # on caller ID, should I stick the knife in her and call the police?
