Let's be honest

What would you do if you went to the store & the money-teller/grocery-store clerk and ask for ten $ 100 bills in exchange for a solid G-note ( $ 1,000.00), yet because the money-teller/grocery-store clerk wasn't paying attention & serving you attitude while s/he was on the cell-phone, s/he accidently gives you ten $ 1000 bills in exchange for your G-note? So now you you have $ 10,000.00 instead of only $ 1000.00 in change. Please let's be honest people.

Would you attitude be something similar to:

A.) Oh My God, I feel bad, let me return this. If I was the money-teller/grocery-store clerk, I would want someone to be rightous & help me out so that my boss/supervisor wouldn't fire me & accuse me of stealing. I don't care if I'm homeless, that is wrong. *crys*
B.) HOT DAMN!! $ 10,000.00 dollars. Well, it's not my fault s/he should've been paying attention & not on the phone, especially the cell-phone. Look, I have bills to pay, my baby needs milk/diapers, & my student loans/credit-card needs to be paid off. People get paid to work & not to be pussy-footing around & making personal calls. You see how Gos punishes the wicked? S/He gave me straight funk attitude..*shrugs* Oh well?*sings* I'm off the ?Lizard', the wonderful ?Lizard Lounge' (

I: Went out to car, discovered it & saw it in dis-belief, went back in the store, searched for the teller (but she had customers & STILL on the phone), call for the Manager, pointed out that one of his employees made a HUGE mishap, gave him the money, then he called the cleck, sercurity, & I in this little office-esque room, questioned the clerk & me, called for another employee to bring the money-tray, he counted the money AND the money I returned, thanked me/gave hand-shake, gave me my correct change w/ a $ 20 dollar girt-card, wished me ?Happy-BirthDay' & let me go.



But I was thinking: Leaving as quick as I could so that the bank-teller/grocery-store clerk wouldn't pick-up on her mistake. Go to another store in a different location to see if there was another grocery-store clerk not paying attention, on the phone, or stressed out & repeated it.

"store clerk not paying attention, on the phone, or stressed out & repeated it."

Yeah this would be a bad idea. It would have screwed you over, managers would call managers I am sure as a simple security protocol as it is not too likely the teller/clerk would have immediately fessed up that it was their fault the store just lost 9k.

If your going to take it, scan the area. Make sure you don't spot anyone that knows you or a relative, when you book hope that your car is parked deeper in the parking lot so the security guard that gets the panicked info doesn't run out the door and see your car description and possibly license plate number. Once your in your car and off, take a differen't route home than you are used to and DON'T DEPOSIT THE CASH. EVER. And lastly, you can't ever shop at that store again.

Is it worth it? Not really, in a small or even large town if it happened in your neighborhood it will likely come back to you. They would have called the cops had you not been their and a panicking supervisor could easily report it stolen to cover her ass.

If you could pull that off then have at it. Most people can't, even most people who think they could as the normal person is more suspicious when they are trying to be sly. If I was out of town and the only stop I made in the store was there and I didn't notice any cameras then what you do is when she hands you the money and you realize what happened as your counting the change you make NO gesture of anything being off, tellt he teller thank you and to have a nice day, or ask directions for somewhere to get the money off her mind and head strait out. It is still risky, and I believe it is a crime. And anything over 2 grand in most states is a felony, which means federal prison if things don't go your way. The average person if they got away with it, it would be out of dumb luck adding up in a lot of different directions such as:

The teller not noticing it at all until the drawer is counted.
The teller not paying attention and remembering nothing about you.
No cameras.
No familiar faces.
And a panicky manager firing the teller to save her own ass so she can tell her boss that she located the issue and took care of it.

That is a lot of iffs for money that can only ever stay in cash form and needs to be well hidden.

grocery stores don't carry that much money in the tills.

LS that is what I was thinking but I don't know where they live...they might. I don't know if bank branches in grocery stores have access to that kind of money without opening a vault or some sort or process.

Hello?? Is this a gemini relating this story?? Repeat after me, "grain of salt". Really gem can you come up w. any other kooky stories to amuse yourself with??
