Money is back in the register. Dude didn't come back, I got owned. Trusted a guy and gave him money that didn't belong to me and got fucked over.. Lesson learned at least.

Omg O_O @ my new tag. lol

As long as you have learned your lesson, I guess it could have been worse. It's a shame that shit like this has to happen, the world needs more people that trust strangers and less arsehole strangers that can't be trusted.

 

[itsinmyveins]

Try to put a more positive spin on it, man; you bought a life lesson (knowledge is invaluable) and a new neogaf tag for 140 euros.

 

[M.J. Doja]

you said he owns a store or something? go pay him a visit

 

[Wes]

So basically you spent 140 Euros on a new tag.

 

[ToxicAdam]

The dude who took the money is probably feeling real bad right now.


Regretting that he didn't ask for more.

You still have his details right? What did he give you?

 

[MThanded]

Funny story from me:

We are going to fire our female employee today because she has been sleeping with a customer for a few weeks now and in the last week let him play bets for 6400€ while trying to somehow hide the missing money in the paper work.

When we confronted her she said that she believed him when he said he would pay it all back cause he "never let her down before".

*sigh*

He never let her down before because she was always getting him up.

 

[KAOz]

I want to know how your mom reacted when you told her why you needed your card, or cash.
Did she scold you?

And it only cost you 140! Talk about a bargain.

 

[SyNapSe]

I don't believe a word of this thread. It's impossible for a human being to be so foolish.

I also believe this to be a fake thread topic. :\

Nah, he told her that he needed the money to pay a car fine or they'd take his drug filled car away, lol

 

[Tobor]

Fake details.

 

[crowphoenix]

Lies.

Edit: Beaten by a robot in a wig.

 

[shuri]

Your only choice of action is now OBVIOUS.

You need to threaten him that you will report him to the police! Send him a txt!

DO IT!

 

[Plywood]

He never let her down before because she was always getting him up.

 

[MMaRsu]

You still have his details right? What did he give you?

Adress, his name, details of his workplace etc. But then I crosschecked them later on, and the company he supposedly works at doesn't pick up, adress seems to point somewhere else. I asked him for more information like social security number etc, drivers license but they were all in his car he said. Then when I was about to go with him to his car to check it all out, he got a call and told me the cops told him to meet him at the police station so he should pay his fine there.

 

[neorej]

Try to meet up with him at a trainstation!

Probably a buddy outside watching that called when he gave a signal.

It's a great tag though!

 

[Speevy]

Your boss: I thought I marked all these bills.

 

[alr1ght]

I am astounded that someone is this dumb, or maybe not. Please tell me you were high on something.

 

[Jacobi]

Sounds like something I would do

 

[Klyka]

I once accidentally a whole 140€.

Read this out loud to yourself. You gave him the money before you got the information?

Well I had only slept like 3 small hours due to spending the night at a girls house. Not really an excuse but I obvously wasn't thinking clearly as I should have been.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Dude aint picking up the phone anymore. Fuck.

My own money should be here soon though. Still, fuck this shit. I know the money wasn't mine to give and yes it was a dumb fucking mistake but I tried to do a nice thing for the guy. I'm just too goddamn gullible for this shit. I can't believe I fell for this dumbass scam. I'm such an idiot.

Please make fun of me all you want, I feel bad enough already. I hope my boss doesn't fire me even though he's getting the money back.

Unless you have the money in your pocket, you're STEALING from your business. You're not just assissting the guy (which may or not be the right thing to do, depending on your slant), but you're committing a crime to do so, one that will cost you your job.

Totally reckless behaviour, you shouldn't be working a register if the thought would even cross your mind.

Read this out loud to yourself. You gave him the money before you got the information?

The guy was in a rush! So you can see why he might have made mistakes with his address, phone number, and name.

Damn. :lol

haha, nice try to quickly turn a "haha you idiot" thread into "dude slept with a girl, woaaaaah"


Also,that phone call he got? That was his buddy outside who saw his signal and called him. They use that to "sell" their story.

Hey I'm not trying to brag here dude, that's over in the girl thread. I'm just stating what happened.

I understand it's stealing, but if the register evens out at the end of the day, what's the problem? I never steal anything. It was a really really stupid thing to do, I've learned my lesson. Just because I made a mistake I should lose my job, and never be able to work at a register again? I personally think that's a little harsh, I put my own money back in the register so it would even out at the end of the day. Some of you guys are acting like I'm the worst person in the world or something damn.

 

[Cindres]

Hahaha, yeah i think you may well be losing your job. Don't they cash in at the end of the day?
Also, i reckon the tag would sound better if it were "for" or "to" the coalition...

sucks man, unlucky. Hope the guy gets a beat down.

 

[Nameless]

You should've held on to something of his(ID card...Drivers license...Bag of weed) as collateral.

I'm curious to ask, would you have given him anything had he been an atheist?

 

[MMaRsu]

Well I do all the administration by myself every night 5 days in a row, my boss collects it in the morning. As long as the cash evens out I don't think they would even check security footage or anything.

It's fine, everyone makes a big ass mistake sometime in their lives. I still love you <3

 

[crowphoenix]

I don't think they're calling you a terrible person, rather an employee that has shown a tendency to be foolish with a businesses' money that has been left in his care. That is not a reputation you want to have.

But you know that, and I sincerely hope you still have your job next week.

On the plus side, you'll never ever fall for a con like this again, right?

Or take money from the cash register?

because you supported a drug dealer... who fucking scammed you for 140 euros!

 

[AlphaSnake]

Hahaha, you idiot. I can't believe you fell for that.

We have door to door scammers occasionally: "oh, my wife is in labor and I don't have any money to get to the hospital". 911 is free, asshole. :lol

You never short the register. If you let someone slide for a buck or two, it has to come out of your pocket immediately.

If you can't understand that you shouldn't be working retail, it's not your money to lend.

 

[Klyka]

You know what the real problem is now?

You're not gonna trust ANYBODY in your store anymore. Even if someone comes in who really needs your help,even if it's not even about money, you will ALWAYS remember this dude conning you and be suspicious/won't help.

I know that from my own experience.

 

[MMaRsu]

Well he probably wasn't even a drug dealer to begin with now was he?

[red shoe paul]

Unless your boss checks security everyday, which I know 99.9% of people don't do unless there was a robbery, or something huge went down with no excuse. In this case you replaced 100% of the money so you should be fine. Unless it was a sting set up by your boss, which could be a possibility.

If he had given his own money, I would have been more sympathetic.

Nothing about what he did was right.
