Riley Park Hell Funnies, Part 5
Feb. 21st, 2005 01:08 pmThe 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:
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!

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?"
