Posts: 10981 (11/15/2009 2:44 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Last weekend I went to the Wendy's drive-thru and ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich large combo meal which costs $7.33. At the first window was a white teenager guy. I gave him a $10 and he gave me my change. I got my food from the 2nd window and then drove off. When I got to a stop light, I counted my money and realized that he gave me $0.50 too little. I was mad but I just kept driving. So I went back today and ordered the same thing. The same guy was at the 1st window. Once again, he gave me $0.50 too little. I called him on it and he tried to blame the register. He asked me how much more money he owed me (more proof that teens at fast food places can't count). I told him $0.50. Then he magically handed me $0.50 without opening the register. Now he knows I've got his number. I wonder how many people he does this to each day.

Because they know most people won't both driving back to complain. Especially at night, when only the drive thru is open.

And by the end of the night, he had enough to at least buy a pack of cigarettes and a drink or something. No one really believed him because he talked about it so openly. He eventually got fired though. It'll always happen sooner or later.

Yeah, I was going to say that it can definitely add up if he makes a habit out of it. It's probably easy at drive-thrus, especially busy ones, since customers most likely don't count their change...at least not while at the window.

That had me a bit confused too ....anyway I am sure a lot of people who work at McDonald's/Wendy's or places with a high frequency of customer try that. Always keeping small amounts of change ends up being a good chunk of money and people rarely count the change.

I'd say that's pretty good. Even if he takes a quarter from each person, that's still $25. And hell, $25 is $25, dinner and a movie at least. Geez.

A few of my server friends used to do a little scam thing, it's confusing, so bear with me lol. It would only work if the people paid cash for their dinner, and it depended on the computers they had, so it wouldn't work at every place, but say you have a 4 top and they all order sodas it's like 1.50-2.00 each depending so the would be charged for it on the bill, but after the table paid, you change the soads to water (which was free) and keep the cash from the sodas. It added up to about $20-$30 a night.

So they could tack on an extra .50 and I wouldn't notice. That's definitely going to change after this thread. I'm going to learn how much things cost, scrutinize my bills, and count my change/always get a receipt. I swear, are there no more honest people in this world??

He would keep $0.25 here, $0.50 there and sometimes even a $1.00 depending on how much change per car he had to make. Think about how many cars go thru a toll in an 8 hour shift. The man made a killing. Even if the driver figured out he was given the wrong change there was no way in hell he was going to get off an exit and turn around to go back to the toll booth.
