The Perfect Scheme
I used to work at Walden Books back in the day. There was a dude who used to routinely come in and buy bargain books. He would then go home and come back another time with the bargain stickers ripped off to return them and claim he didn’t have a receipt.
We would then have to give him store credit for the higher price that the books rang up as. He would then come back at a later time and use the store credit to buy full priced books.
He would then come back one final time and return the books with a receipt for cash. It used to irritate me when he would do this because I knew what he was doing and there wasn’t anything I could do about it.
Interestingly enough, this very same man would become a supervisor of mine at another place I worked at later and was a pretty cool guy.
I never mentioned to him that I knew about his scheme, but even if I told him, he probably wouldn’t have cared. Credit: Reddit/Sk4ht
