Hey, hey, hey!
Amazing.
Polish counterfeiter: "Can you give me change for an $18 bill?"
Polish "victim": "Sure -- would you like three 6's or two 9's?"
A short change artist once tried it out on me. I made $35.
I assumed they just expected them to make correct change from actual cash.
In my youth while working at gas stations, con artists would try tricks but they didn’t work on me. I would take their bill(s), place it to the side on the cash register till out of their reach and then make change, counting it out on the counter. Too few kids count out money as change now, unfortunately. If the con artist tried anything, like saying they gave me a larger bill(s), I would point to their money still on the side of the till and show them I knew what they were up to. After they retreat, I stick their money in the cash register till. Sometimes I was working graveyard shift all alone, but had a .32 revolver under the counter to keep me company, given me by the boss.
“My aunt gave me that! She wrote happy birthday on it!”
Something smells fishy here. Would a wal mart cash register have enough cash in it to make the loss of $2,100 not obvious. That’s 105 $20 bills. I don’t think a register is big enough to hold that many 20s. And I don’t think they keep 20 Benjamins in there either. Either this cashier has a sub freezing IQ, or she was in on it.
They must be Congressmen.
Before I looked at the video, I was almost certain that the cashier had to be in on it, but he was very slick, repeatedly asking to break larger bills, confused the heck out of her.
The $2,100.00 was taken by two individuals running the scam on multiple transactions over a short period, as I understood the report. One register isn’t likely to have $2,100.00 in it at any given time, I don’t think.
This age old scam was run on my dad’s old business from time to time...they never got me, but from time to time they would nail one of our help....even though we would train some of those kids to watch for this situation.
Hey, hey, hey!
“Cash magicians”???
How about good, old fashioned con artists?
Sheesh, does EVERYTHING have to be PC?
Another widely practiced scam: “I am from the government and I am here to help.”

Entry level jobs don’t require the smartest people. I’m not saying anything bad about the cashier.
And the perp... He shouldn’t be too hard to find.
