Not even putting on an intro. Just getting straight to the stories....
Yo, man....
So a guy with 4 or 5 buddies comes up to me when I'm working a basketball shoot game. It's $5 a play. He pays for three games with a $20. No prob. I count 20 singles, count off five for him twice, and once into his hand. I turn around to get the ball, turn back to face him, and then the trouble begins.
SC: Yo, man, you only gave me 4 dollars.
Me: I remember giving you 5.
SC: Are you trying to cheat me? Gimme mah money!
Me: I'm afraid I can't do that sir. I'd have to get a sup down here and check my till.
SC: Why can't you just give me the money?
Me: On the event you're being dishonest, I'd get fired.
SC: Why would I try to scam you? I got 2000 of 'em, why would I need one?
Me: I'm going to call my supervisor and get this rectified. *calls in-park office*
(No one picks up. I call the cash office to send down a sup.)
SC: Why do you need to do that? All it is is one dollar!
Me: It's protocol. I'd get fired if I didn't.
SC: It's one dollar! And besides, no one's looking.
Me: He's still coming down. *supervisor shows up*
Sup: So what seems to be the problem here?
SC: I paid $15 on this game with a $20, and he only gave me $4.
Sup (to me): Can I see your till?
Me: Sure.
Sup (to SC): If his till checks out even, then that means the transaction proceeded accordingly.
(So he checks my till. Guess what? Even!)
Me: The till came out even. I can't issue you a refund.
SC: Come on man! Gimme mah money! (to sup) Come on!
Sup: Here. *hands him a dollar*
Me:
SC: Ugh, finally!
Then I went on break, deciding to leave the turd to my breaker. 40 minutes later, guess what?
SC: *with fake smile and sarcastic tone* Hi, octopi!
I construed that as a threat, so if he came down again, I planned to call security. Turns out he did about an hour and a half later. I called security, and I didn't see him again the rest of the day, so I assume he got ejected. Thank God.
Lil' Miss Ebonics
My game was right next to a ride exit. A girl comes out, about 8 or 9.
SC: *ebonics*
Me (confused): What?
SC: *louder ebonics*
Me (still confused): Wait, what?
SC: DO Y'ALL GOT A BAND AID?
Me: No. But (place) does. *redirect*
SC: A'ight man. God, you hard of hearin'?
Illiterate!
SC: How much does it cost?
(I had heard this 500 times before. People can't read the damn sign. I point to it.)
SC: One dollar?
Me: *facepalm* *points to sign again*
SC: Two dollars?
Me: *points yet again*
SC: Two dollars?
Me: Do you see the sign?
SC: Yes.
Me: What does it say?
SC: Five dollars.
Me: That's how much it costs.
SC: Thanks, but I'm not playing.
Me:
Perennial favorite....
I get this one at least 5 times a day. This or a variant.
SC: Is this game free?
Or....
Me: Would you like to play again?
SC: For free?
Me:
Ugh. I'm done for now.
EDIT: Wait, one more....
SC: *foists dollar in my face*
Me: It's $5.
SC: But the [bill stacking] machine has a picture of a dollar on it.
Me: The sign's over there.
