    Horrible advice. In many POS systems, the system enforces the refund policy. You have to input the receipt number, and once you do, the system tells you that a refund isn’t possible if it’s too old. And if the system allows it but protocol does not, it’s going to be real easy for management to find out who broke the rules and fire you for cause.

      Press the feed button on the receipt printer to eject blank paper, pocket their receipt. Call management over saying dudes trying to return something he bought last week, but the receipt printer musta fucked up cause it’s blank. Managers gonna hem and haw, pull em aside and say “cmon it’s just a sad old man prolly didn’t even notice he got a blank receipt”

      Do they not teach cons anymore??

          Exactly. Pocketing the customer’s receipt, then feeding out blank paper in order to lie to a manager would be so easy to determine with cameras. Anyone that’s half-competent in loss prevention would catch that.

          Seriously. Flip to another thread and it will be cashiers/servers/customer service workers complaining that cusotmers are such assholes because they are entitled to shit that they aren’t. This advice was just encouraging that.
