The only other con job I remember didn't happen to me, but I heard about it on my very last shift.

For the last year that I was there, I worked only one shift a week (Saturday morning from 7-3, you only get light traffic, and the shift ends quick. Basically it was an excuse to get $50 a week for hardly any work.

As was my habit when opening the store, I would listen to the radio. The news came on and I heard the following report:
City police are telling people to be aware of a new scam. The con artist goes into gas stations with a lone teller and convinces them to give him all the money in the till because he is the station's new owner.
"Geez", I think, "how gullible can you get?"

A few hours later, Ray shows up to check on me.

"Have you been listening to the news" says Ray.

"Do you mean the con artist story? Man I would love it if that guy came in here, I would call bullshit instantly. I'd laugh in his face."

"I wish you were here last night then, it was our station that got scammed".

D'oh!
