la fitness :people usually pay 35 a / 150 to start without knowing they can get the sales person to go as low as 20 a month/0 to start...

cell phone kiosk:most of these guys renew ur contract without even telling u and no one usually finds out...they are really good at lying too and will "add" and accessory for "free" when its costing u some and hes making good commission on it

vitamin world-you can buy something, use almost all of it, and then return it and do this as many times as you want........there are no cameras there, so its easy for a customer to steal shit....i couldve stolen countless objects since i was left alone many times, but i dont know why i never did......any shit that is returned, doesnt go back to the shelves. its usually thrown in the garbage, or the workers can take it home

I used to work in an electronic applicances shop and the stuff I could have done had I had the desire to is frightening. During credit buy applications, I had ALL of a person's info, enough to completely credit card fruad them with almost zero chance of getting caught. On their application form was every single thing needed for ID, all their work info, personal info, credit card info, bank info, salary info, spouse details, everything, and after they signed it it was up to me to file this away. I could have had a photo copy of their signature as well as photo copies of their passport/driving licence and a recent bill or bank statement which had all of their bank details on there. There was nothing stopping me walking to a photo copier first and keeping a huge file with 100's of these docs, they never checked the cameras in the shop and I must have handled over 5000 of these in my time there.

Something to bear in mind next time you apply for interest free credit or something.

I would never do that to someone, but makes me wonder in that company how many people did go somewhere with it. Its an absolutely dire system.

Heat it up and mix. That's it. The Chili is official business, and come to think of it so is everything else in Wendy's. No microwaves for the meat or anything like that.

If the meat is on the grill for over 10 minutes then it gets thrown with the chili meat or just thrown away. There used to be this lady that would come in every night and buy the unused meat for her dog.
huh! this was surprisingly interesting.

Wendy's is delicious, the only fast food I really enjoy.

This reminds me of my uncle. One time at a Target YEARS back he took a microwave off the shelf and went and returned it to the front. Another time, he walked in, took a NICE mountain bike off the shelf, walked it out, then peddled like hell.

Something really similar happened in a shop I worked in before, the one mentioned above. I wasnt there the day it happened, but a guy walked in and walked over to the combi tv and video section, pulled one down off display and walked over to repairs with it, calmly asked "do you repair these here?" to which the answer was no, said "fair enough" and walked back out the door with it. Genius. Have a number of similar theft stories, some of them are genius.

Mayve it was my uncle?

My uncle also use to say that he made more money in jail selling drugs then he did on the streets.

the best coke isn't the whitest, its the kind which is similar in colour to coffee stained teeth... kind of beige. also, if its nice and chunky and kind of pasty and smells like.. potpurri (i guess, the smell is noticeable either way) thats how you can gauge how cut or uncut it is. the best stuff would be in a block, really pasty looking, beige and smelly.

SUVs are not safer than cars by and large, the safest cars are ones with a good balance of safety features and handling because you won't die if you don't get hit. Also, unibody cars as opposed to trucks or truck frame SUVs are safer pound for pound because they have crumple zones where the impact is spread out across the car's panels (which is also its frame).

its possible to spoof caller ID, including name and number with pretty much any cell phone. the catch being that it'll get you 10+ years if you get caught, no doubt.

a piece of porcelain will go right through a piece of glass, particularily useful if you're looking to 'borrow' someones car.

Most of the buildings you see in movies are total facades with no rooms or anything, but sometimes the crew will make one room for a "building" thats only like a few feet deep to show the sembelance of something going on in there, a fire, a flash of some sort, whatever.

Oh, yeah. You know those security systems at the entrance of every tech store (Best Buy, Circuit City, Blockbuster etc.)? Well, they have a weakness. If you run a magnetized object (any item with a security tag), at high speed through the towers, they won't go off. They can't detect things going through at high speed. At high traffic times, you could just "punch" the item through the towers and they won't know shit. Looks a little less obvious than running or holding the object high over your head to avoid the sensors.

Also, to open those security cases, all you need is a strong magnet. I find empty security cases in the back of our store all the time because some douchenozzles just bring magnets in and bust open the security cases to get to the cream filling. Bastards. So easy to rob any establishment. Plus, we as associates aren't supposed to physically stop you. We can tell you to stop, but that's about it.

Oh yeah, and all the no receipt stuff is 100% true. You can get gift credit for most of the non-expensive items in any store.
