Man I got scammed today at work. I work at Mickey D's and this one black guy came into the dirve through ordered something, I dunno what it was. And after I charged him he told me to give him his money back cuz hes gonna go somewhere else. So I give him back the 20 bucks he paid me with and he starts banging on the window saying that I gave him a 1 dollar bill, we were kinda busy so I didn't know if I did or not so I took the 1 dollar bill and gave him a 20 dollar bill. So he got an extra 20 bucks. Man there are alot of sick people in the world.

That's too bad.
On a totally unrelated topic, I'd like to order 100 cheeseburgers from you. I'll pick them up around noon on November 31st. :P Think of how much a prank order like that would cost! :) | |

That's an old scam. You should always go with your first thought in those situations. Even if it was busy, the likelyhood that you'd pull a $1 bill out of the drawer instead of a $20 is very very slim. The compartments in the register are on completely opposite sides of the drawer. You could probably make change in your sleep. If the guy doesn't like to hear that you're sure you gave him a $20, let the manager deal with it, then it's his problem.

Hehehehehe, this reminded me of an old joke I occasionally like to play. Go to the speaker - order a bunch of food; pull out of the line (before pulling to the payment window) and let the next guy pull up. Then, you go to the next window & BOOM! >_>

Yeah, as others have noted, this is a fairly old scam. It costs the person who pulls it very little, as (unless you can somehow establish a pattern) it's very hard to prove they're being intentionally dishonest.
A variation of it (along with many other old standbys) appears in Neil Gaiman's excellent novel, American Gods... one of the main characters of which is a very old con artist. | |
