Its very easy to get free burgers from fast food joints.

We used to go in, in the morning and look at a member of staff's name badge and appearance.

In the afternoon we'd go and collect the free food, we just told them that we ordered a meal to take out and when we got home to eat it, it was missing a burger and chips.

At this point they would ask if we remembered who served us and we would stitch up the poor member of staff from that morning :grin:

They are really dumb though, in most of them you can just walk in when they are busy and claim a burger was missing from your order (you don't even have to of ordered at all!) and you will get it.

another thing that could work is this, stand outside the drive through and wait till there is a big order.... wait till the order is picked up and paid for, and driven off.


then go in and say, hey i just ordered such and such, in the blue van in the drivethrough, and we were missing a burger.

Don't the fast food places ever ask for receipts?

It does  :wink:

My friend drank half his pint and then complained his glass was dirty and got a new fresh pint.

Also you can go in a restaraunt and pay only a penny for your meal.  Its a clause in the law which says if you are unsatisfied with your meal then you can pay whatever you deem worthy.

No need to run out!  Just tell them thats what it was worth - if they want to ring the police then let them.

I know soo many scams that's all I used to do. Here's my favorite, find some receipts to a store that are still good (I used to take them from my mom) and go to that store fill up the cart with all of the expensive stuff on the receipt and then push the cart right up to the customer service and return it. It works for real, and I was a teenager with spiked hair and facial piercings doing this. The receipts have to be cash too.

You can go to walmart, get one of those large totes.. stuff a ton of shit into it and walk right out. It won't be suspicious because nobody pays attention, and because it is a large tub you wouldn't have any bags. If they ask to see the receipt at the door, say no. For real they cannot make you show it to them. Just don't be a pussy and this stuff really works.

I used to steal graphing calculators, multiple fifths of liquor, anything. It takes balls though.. you can't be afraid or you will get caught.

AFOAF worked at subway and devised a way to get ~$7000 over the course of a year manipulating the system.

he would take home $60-120/night (5-hour shift) depending on how busy it was).

completly untracable, :-D

I stole from the registers at work more than once, today I got fired for no call no show and after they fired me I walked to the front of the store opened the register and took $45 out and left. There's even cameras but they are behind you so they can't see anything in the register.

Here's another little scam, find a store that does return w/o receipt.. steal a bunch of shit and return it for store credit. Sell the store credit on ebay, for 90% of the value. I have got thousands of dollars this way with my friends, no joke. (Petsmart works best, they don't suspect it at all) We would go on a round trip to about 8 different petsmarts and one of us would go in steal shit and the other would return it, then whatever was left we would return at the next one. You can get SOOO much money from doing this.

Khol's works good for this, steal wallets, ties, anything small and easy.

You can also take two items, for example two packages of T-shirts (different sizes) take it up to customer service and tell them you need to exchange. You will get it for free.. you just have to be good at it.

I also used to steal gas, but that doesn't work at most places. The first four pumps of Meijer (grocery store in the midwest) you can press "pay inside" and they will activate the pump, fill it up and just leave they won't notice you left until it's too late. I have stole thousands of dollars worth of gas this way, my mom would give me cash to go get her gas, so I'd steal it and then buy drugs HAHA.

You either take from the customer or take from the till.

Shortchanging customers is common in barwork. I used to take home an extra 20 after most 4 hour shifts just by taking 50p or a £1 here and there.

If you took from the till then you must of not rang it in or just pretended to ring it in?

At our store (Jc Penney's) you can do a change voucher to open the register, I didn't give a shit because it takes them weeks to realize that it's not there anyway.. anybody could have done it we didn't have assigned registers. At my old job they counted the till after each person was done on the register so this wasn't possible.

Well my stuff isn’t vary hardcore but it is as far as I personally like to take my hustles (if you could call them that)

So ive been doing this for about 3 years now and I get to upgrade key electronic components in my house for free.

My computer monitor, Costco has a 6month return on computer moniters.  And every six months I show up to switch it out with a new one.

A three hundred dollar investment three years ago bought me a 19” off brand LCD monitor, that initial investment now has me typing this on a 22” wide screen LCD and the upgrades didn’t cost me a penny.  After Xmas, ill be swapping this one out for a 24” LCD. :wink:

These membership warehouses are soooo damn customer friendly that they will literally take shit back way past the deadline.  I screwed up and kept one monitor for a full year, and I lost the receipt.  The guy told me I could only get the lowest price it had ever sold for.  I told him I payed $420 (I didn’t) and with no questions asked he gave me 420 bucks plus tax in cash.

Sams club has a one year return on all TVs.  So this year I decided to see how this scam works for them.  I picked up a 50” Plasma and hopefully I can turn it into a 60” by next year.


A laptop scam that a friend of my father has been doing for many years.

Buy a laptop and pay the extra money for the best warranty.  Right before the warranty is up, short circuit the main board and send it in; by this time they probably don’t make that model any more.  Demand a machine of equal value and warranty in case they try to give you some POS replacement.  Never pay for a new laptop again. :grin:
