<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 4002464, member: 74863&quot;]This thread has made me think of something that happened about 44 years ago. Yes, I was young and I took a job at Christmas in a retail drug store. I learned a lot in that job. It was supposed to last no more than 2 months but I was there over 10 years. I became an Assistant Manager with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I worked as a clerk in my store in my first spring. I was stocking some items near one of the registers when the store manager came up and asked me about the cash register at one of the multiple checkout lanes, the one on the end closest to the exit door.</p><p><br /></p><p>Long story cut to the chase, someone had come in and stolen the register. No money was in it but they walked out of the store with the cash register and electric cord to operate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was reported and a police report was filed. A few months later in walked an individual with a sales receipt from that register. Being as the machine had not been cleared out in the closeout procedures the date was still set for the day it was stolen.</p><p><br /></p><p>The guy tried to return an expensive item with a receipt. He claimed he bought the item last week but the date was months old. A manager said he needed to call for approval due to the dollar amount to which the customer agreeded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the police department was less than a mile away 2 uniformed officers were there within 2 minutes. The manager had the paperwork filled out. The customer gave a phony name, address and phone number. Needless to say, he was arrested and pled guilty. Then the store got its cash register back.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure why this thread brought back this memory but it did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
