Horrible advice. In many POS systems, the system enforces the refund policy. You have to input the receipt number, and once you do, the system tells you that a refund isn’t possible if it’s too old. And if the system allows it but protocol does not, it’s going to be real easy for management to find out who broke the rules and fire you for cause.
Nah just play it straight-faced and be smart. Lay your groundwork, cover your tracks, and do your follow-ups. I scammed employers (the big ones) out of tens of thousands over the years using whatever leeway afforded to me to reward the nice customers.
I can’t believe there are people out there just doing their job straight, while the excess value of their labour just goes into the pockets of some investor whose biggest contribution to society is, like, a blog from 2018 on the best altitude to take a power nap.
I think one should leave high school with the bare minimum of social skills required to manipulate a manager to give a old fuck free shit from a ma-hoo-sive company.
Old people have like zero money and rapidly declining health they can’t afford to address. Yeah, they’re easily manipulated by nonsense “news” and shit, but, like, they’re people, help em steal $50 of cheap appliances
Occasionally. My retail experience was brief. I’m speaking mostly from experience on the phones. For some reason I was given more discretionary power there than in person
Press the feed button on the receipt printer to eject blank paper, pocket their receipt. Call management over saying dudes trying to return something he bought last week, but the receipt printer musta fucked up cause it’s blank. Managers gonna hem and haw, pull em aside and say “cmon it’s just a sad old man prolly didn’t even notice he got a blank receipt”
Exactly. Pocketing the customer’s receipt, then feeding out blank paper in order to lie to a manager would be so easy to determine with cameras. Anyone that’s half-competent in loss prevention would catch that.
Seriously. Flip to another thread and it will be cashiers/servers/customer service workers complaining that cusotmers are such assholes because they are entitled to shit that they aren’t. This advice was just encouraging that.

I might not be stealing money from work, but I am definitely a proud time thief.
It’s not theft really. It’s going above and beyond
You had nice customers?

Camera’s everywhere have put a damper on things.

Everyone’s entitled to anything at Walmart, ShopRite, etc.
Be fuckin cool, pay it forward
Tell me you’ve never actually worked retail without telling me.
