Used to rob thousands from a well known hardware store.
Full patio suites for your garden, Big BBQ's etc..


This all came to prices like :

499.99
599.99

and so on, this place also had no CCTV and their tills were programmed by Sean Sherlock so passwords were easily broke.

Basically you have a load of 1p's at the till, ring the item through the till without the receipt paper but wedge a piece of plastic into the printer so it thinks it has paper but doesn't.

This way you can put something through the till but it won't print.
I think when someone gets a receipt the till also has another roll inside which is duplicating the receipts, this is how they till count at night.

Ye - so basicaly ring it through, wedge in the printer sensor. Hand the customer 1p, close the till down and help the customer out to their car, help them pack it into their boot etc..

Due to this niceness they forget about the receipt. I go back to the till and pocket 499.99 or 599.99 ( punt days ) done this bout 6 times, made a fortune when I was 16 - that was a summer part time job as well.

Now I steal millions

Faolchu

worked in a now shut down fast food place in dublin that would take thw meat from the unsold burgers at the end of a night and then put them away. they would microwave them and sell them to the late night crowd the following evening.

also worked in an office with a lad that sharted while at his desk. god knows what that lad was eating but the bang of him was rancid afterwards. . he left a nasty stain on the chair too to his hoop must have really leaked. you use to have to rush in early to make sure you were not stuck with the stained chair every day until it was replaced.

Every second post/experience involves sh1t. Is sh1ting everywhere some sort of national tradition in Ireland, something like p1ssing everywhere for british?

All tills store sales on their internal memory. There is no duplicate receipt.


So... your story is all BS. As even if you stopped the till from printing a receipt. At the end of the night the till would still be down and thus management would be wide.

Old tills used to have a double till roll. One would print a customer copy and the other would record the transaction. Im not saying I believe the story but those tills did exist many moons ago

I see physical fights that result in injury (blood, black eyes, need stitches, broken bones) about once a fortnight.

The most shocking was probably what was basically a siege incident with 30 people barricaded in a room while others tried to talk down the lunatic outside who had already punched one person and who was roaring and screaming threats at someone else in the room.

I used to work in a shop were I caught the manager snorting coke, another manager would try and get one of the other girls who worked there into a corner and show her the porn on his phone.

Another girl that worked there was made climb ladders even though she was heavily pregnant only because one of the managers had a crush on her and hated her partner.

I used to work in a warehouse. We used pallet racking like the ones above to store pallets of 10'x5' sheets of aluminium weighing about a tonne each. They were stacked to the roof in 20' high bays about 12 pallets high and 4 pallets wide.

So one day I'm minding my own business and I hear what can only be described as a deafening roar. I actually crouched down thinking the roof had fallen in. I ran over to where the noise had come from and a whole four bay row of racking had come crashing down for no apparent reason.

The damage was unimaginable and we had to do a head count of the whole factory and warehouse of about 50 people. One of my colleagues said it had happened right behind him and he had walked right under that rack about 10 seconds prior. He said his ears were ringing. This was one of the busiest thoroughfares in the warehouse and if there were anyone under there it would have been instant death. The insurance company send a clean-up crew and it took them a week to sort out the tangled mess.

Imagine this headline; 'Overloaded racking collapses-no one injured'. It wouldn't make the news but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

It happened in the aluminium supply company I worked for in Little Island in 2003. My brother and a couple of friends still work there.

I walked passed a managers office one morning after going in a few hours early to leave earlier that day. There were rumors he was having an affair with a woman he worked closely with and I all but confirmed it with my own eyes as the office door was more than ajar and she was bent over the desk being seen to.

edit just to say I've never told this to anyone ever until today

No they were not related

Was working in very popular toy shop in Dublin a few years ago , Twas the year the Xbox 360 was released and there was a massive hype about it obviously everybody was looking to get their hands on one. Myself and another lad were friendly with one of the Polish workers who started with us as xmas staff, really sound fella. We went back to his flat one of the nights after we were out and as he was pissed and 'trusted' us he told us he couldn't be arsed working in the place and the only reason he was working there was because he was going to steal a **** load of Xbox 360's on one of the shipments. We thought he was just spewing drunk talk and that...

Forward two weeks later and a delivery of Xbox's 2 weeks before xmas , he goes to take them in on a large trolley with one of the other guys as he gets to the gate I'm standing on the other side of warehouse he looks back gives me a salute then all hell brakes loose , a van comes from around the corner shutter's go down and locked and they loaded the 360's into the van and off they went never to be seen again. Think they said he got 15-20 of them into the van worth some premium back then and that close to xmas.

He was far too sound a lad to rat out f*** the toy store wage was crap anyway.

I remember bringing a pint of Heineken over to this one traveller in a group of them. A pint up there was 4.80 btw.

The prick takes out two notes. One is a fiver. The other is wouldn't you know ... A 500 euro note. Hands me the 500 of course to pay for a measly pint and wants it broken at reception. I bring it to the manager, who lifts the note toward the light and straight away cops it as a fake.

Oh yeah, and this big russian security guard who used to out of boredom, just lift kegs above his head for exercise.

I thought he was giving you the 500 as a tip! Took me a minute to catch on to what has happening. People think you have to accept large notes or huge amounts of change, you don't.

Mat the trasher

If the pint has been consumed then you do.

You don't have to. Just its hard to refuse a sale when the goods have been consumed.

Mat the trasher

You have to accept a resonable offer to pay a debt with legal tender, if you can't change the note (500) then you can arrange for payment at a later time.
If the bill was 500 and you tried to pay in 1c coin then that is an unresonable offer to pay.

Pint on tray or table untouched = sale, possible to refuse any payment offer, and terminate sale offer.
Pint consumed = debt
