Confession
 

Ok,I have a confession to make,as a kid,I will go thru my mother handbag which she has many,look into the coin purse and STEAL the change.
As a kid,back then I did not get any allowance,this is a treasure cove,dimes and nickels and fifty cents .
She never find out.

I am only interested in enjoying a coke,a chocolate bar,a donut,etc

Re: Confession
 

I wouldn't go through my mom's purse or anything - I would go to the store itself and regularly apply my five finger discount hah my techniques were fluid for chocolate, gum, cards, candy, etc

Yes,you can get a can of soda while you shop and leave the empty can behind on some shelf before checking out.
Some would put frozen lobster tail in a package which said edame!
Oh,with busy buffet,one can leave by making excuse to go to bathroom and just leave without paying,
Remember Abbie Hoffman ,he once wrote a book called StEAL THIS BOOK,in the book he suggested finding a restaurant with 2 dining areas,order a big meal in one,get the check,go to the bathroom,come out and sit at the other room coffee counter ,order a cup of coffee.
Get up,go to the cashier and pay for that cup of coffee only.

I once went to the ATM and there was a £20 note in the dispenser the previous customer had forgotten to take, I took it and bough me and my friend lunch.

But I've also found wallets a couple of times and posted them back to the owner, at my expense.

Morals are fluid.

Oh, I've got a cool money one :lol: I bought a sketchy $10 bill for $5 when I was 16. Had an adult friend of mine buy me a pack of cigs with it and got $5 change back.


I felt like a life hacker but never did anything like that again.


Now the same pack of cigarettes is like $12 and it hasn't even been that long.

I do enjoy watching that show "American Greed" - not to emulate but just in awe of what ppl get away with...for a while...

Re: Confession
 

Hope you didn't build towards Ebay scams

Re: Confession
 

Always loved American Greed (it's taught me a ton about business, tbh). I wish CNBC would've kept the show going in the crypto/AI era. We have Coffeezilla which is decent but the production value just isn't the same.

I didn't know they had ended it - that's a shame.
