Hey guys, today was only about my 6th or 7th day working at Target as a cashier. I thought I would share my experience with a scammer today.
He only bought a pack of gum, worth 5 dollars or something. He handed me a 100 so I was instantly suspicious. I checked the bill, it seemed ok, so I thought he just wanted to break the 100. Right as I put the bill in the register, he told me really quickly that he wanted to pay with other bills. He talked really fast to try and confuse me, like: "waitwaitwait- i-have-different-bill-"
I told him sorry after I hit change for 100 I can't accept anything different. He said ok, as I was giving him his 95 in change he asked for a different set of bills or something again; I gave him the same reply. He walked out pretty fast.
I told my GSTL, he radioed to AP and some uniformed AP guy came and confirmed the bill was legit. Then he told me nice work, they had the guy on camera.
I'm pretty happy because I didn't fall for some cheap scam and because I had no redcards today, so that kind of made up for it.
Anyone else here have run ins with this scam?
