      @@bohemianprince7944 Here's the breakdown:
      Ben got $80 (change out of 100 for $20 USB) + 50 (he gave 40 and got 50 and he profited 10) = At this point, he has $120 of his own money +$10 profit = $130.
      Note: It is important to note that he gave away his original $100 bill in exchange for the USB and received an $80 change. This is different from the $40 he gave away. The $40 turned into $50 ($10 profit) is not from the $80 change. Meaning he got $130 money during the scam.
      Then the 5 twenties for the whole $100 bill. He got his original $100 back, but technically nothing happened. Ben still got $130.
      @1:44 it starts to become tricky/complex/complicated but here's the breakdown of Ben's $130:
      1) Alan took away Ben's $100 in exchange for $150 = Ben's total money is now $180.
      2) Alan took Ben's $20 in exchange for $10 = Ben's total money is now $170.
      3) Alan gave Ben $100 but took away his $50 in exchange for $20 = Ben's total money is now $240.
      4) Alan took Ben's $100 in exchange for $50 = Ben's total money is now $190.
      5) Alan immediately exchanged $50 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $150.
      6) Alan exchanged 2 twenties meaning $40 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $120.
      7) Alan took another $20 and exchanged it for $10 = Ben's total money is now $110
      8)Lastly, Alan took $10 back = @2:14 Ben's total money is now $100
      Summary/ TL;DR: Disregarding the $20 USB, During the scam, Ben had $130 ($120 money of his own but profited $10) but after his change raise scam, he only got $100 back. This means Alan pocketed $20 through an exchange scam while taking back the $10 that Ben initially stole through a $40 to $50 exchange. Alan is an absolute Mad Lad!

      Instead of confusing exchanges, they usually just claim to have given you a bigger bill. Like give 50$ bill on a 30$ purchase, you hand out 20, they said, no I gave you 100. The thing is to never put their bill in the cash drawer, until the transaction is over. When they pull that one, you just say, no I still got your bill in my left hand right here...

    Also, I appreciate that the change raise scam was textbook right up to the point when Ben shorts Alan with 4 tens for a 50. To complete the scam, at this point he would add another 10 and the 50 he just got from Alan and ask for for the .100 back, leaving him with an extra 50.

    I mean the sad thing is these really do work and it's usually the minimum wage cashier that gets fired over being short. All I can say is what a friend in my first retail job said, never put their money in the register till you give them their change. That avoids the whole "I gave you a 20/100/etc" excuse when they gave you a 10 or something. Also if they want to further make transactions the first one has to be completed and put in the register.
    If they are speeding it up, slow it down. All else fails just say "sorry we can't give out that much change" if they try pull out a big bill. Or say "my manager will have to deal with that".

    • @heatshield
      @heatshield 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah they must work because this one store I go to every now and then is terrified of the scam. They have a hard time accepting any payment that isn’t just a large bill or two that’s more than the price.
      If you give them anything at all to make your change easier, they freeze up like they’re being robbed.
      Let’s say the total is $28.87 and I give them two 20s and four 1s, they won’t even type it in before trying to hand back the singles. It’s even worse if I include change. They don’t even have to do the math. The computer will do it for them, but they get so flustered they often insist. Type in whatever they want (40) and slide the singles back before even opening the drawer.
      Sometimes they’ll even hold the singles, not put them in the drawer, then get those mixed up when counting change.
      It is of course partly just innocent incompetence/ignorance but with a very obvious component of fear of being scammed. The looks I get sometimes are very suspicious bordering on hostile. LOL

      Note: It is important to note that he gave away his original $100 bill in exchange for the USB and received an $80 change. This is different from the $40 he gave away. The $40 turned into $50 ($10 profit) is not from the $80 change. Meaning he got $130 money during the scam.
      Then the 5 twenties for the whole $100 bill. He got his original $100 back, but technically nothing happened. Ben still got $130.
      @1:44 it starts to become tricky/complex/complicated but here's the breakdown of Ben's $130:
      1) Alan took away Ben's $100 in exchange for $150 = Ben's total money is now $180.
      2) Alan took Ben's $20 in exchange for $10 = Ben's total money is now $170.
      3) Alan gave Ben $100 but took away his $50 in exchange for $20 = Ben's total money is now $240.
      4) Alan took Ben's $100 in exchange for $50 = Ben's total money is now $190.
      5) Alan immediately exchanged $50 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $150.
      6) Alan exchanged 2 twenties meaning $40 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $120.
      7) Alan took another $20 and exchanged it for $10 = Ben's total money is now $110
      8)Lastly, Alan took $10 back = @2:14 Ben's total money is now $100
      Summary/ TL;DR: Disregarding the $20 USB, During the scam, Ben had $130 ($120 money of his own but profited $10) but after his change raise scam, he only got $100 back. This means Alan pocketed $20 through an exchange scam while taking back the $10 that Ben initially stole through a $40 to $50 exchange. Alan is an absolute Mad Lad!

      He came in with a 100, and five 10s (so he started with 150). The price was 20. He left with only two 10s (20 remaining). So he ended up losing 130 for something that only cost 20. We only need to see the beginning and result to know what happened.

    Ben starts out with 100.
    The USB costs 20, resulting in 80 he gets in one 50 and three 10s.
    He tries switching four 10s into one 50, resulting in 90 total.
    He then hands over five 20s for one 100. The result is unchanged.
    Ben then wants to give the 100 first in exchange for twenty 10s, which Alan don't have that many 10s for, so instead tries with five 50s. The result is unchanged, still 90.
    After that Alan takes control and takes Ben's 100 for three 50s. Ending with 150 for Ben for this calculation.
    He then takes Ben's 20 and gives him a 10. Resulting in 140 for Ben.
    He then gives Ben the 100 and takes the 50 for a 20. Resulting in 210 for Ben.
    He then takes Ben's 100 again, to give him a 50, he takes back immediately to give him a 10. Resulting in 120 for Ben.
    He then takes his two 20s for a 10. Resulting in 90 for Ben.
    He then hands over a 10 for a 20. Resulting in 80 for Ben.
    And finishes with taking one 10 back. Resulting in 70 for Ben.
    Math seems to check out. I was unsure if they reset it all when Alan took control, but if the math is to go with it all they must have.

    Back when I was a teenager and visiting Canada for the first time, I bought some snacks and thought I had accidentally scammed them on the change because I gave them an American twenty and got back a little more than twenty Canadian (and the snacks). Later when I looked at the exchange rate and actually did the math, I realized that I was the one that got scammed.
    They applied the exchange rate after the purchase instead of before.
    $20 -$3= $17 $17 + 25%=$21.25
    $20 +25%= $25 $25-$3= $22
    These aren't the exact figures as it was in the early 80's and my memory isn't perfect, but I remember that the exchange rate was really high at that time (maybe 28%) and I had lost a little over a dollar. Luckily it was a small price to pay to learn not to be a stupid tourist and exchange my money at a bank.

      In my part of Canada if they take American money at all it would be taken at face value. They’ll often outright refuse to take American coins so it’s a real pain when you accidentally get one in your change as you pretty much have to take it to a bank. No one has time to be figuring out exchange rates. I’m about 6 hours drive from the nearest border crossing, it’s probably different in border communities.

    Now that's a direct 110$ pay raise to Alan's pocket.

      Here's the breakdown:
      Ben got $80 (change out of 100 for $20 USB) + 50 (he gave 40 and got 50 and he profited 10) = At this point, he has $120 of his own money +$10 profit = $130.
      Note: It is important to note that he gave away his original $100 bill in exchange for the USB and received an $80 change. This is different from the $40 he gave away. The $40 turned into $50 ($10 profit) is not from the $80 change. Meaning he got $130 money during the scam.
      Then the 5 twenties for the whole $100 bill. He got his original $100 back, but technically nothing happened. Ben still got $130.
      @1:44 it starts to become tricky/complex/complicated but here's the breakdown of Ben's $130:
      1) Alan took away Ben's $100 in exchange for $150 = Ben's total money is now $180.
      2) Alan took Ben's $20 in exchange for $10 = Ben's total money is now $170.
      3) Alan gave Ben $100 but took away his $50 in exchange for $20 = Ben's total money is now $240.
      4) Alan took Ben's $100 in exchange for $50 = Ben's total money is now $190.
      5) Alan immediately exchanged $50 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $150.
      6) Alan exchanged 2 twenties meaning $40 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $120.
      7) Alan took another $20 and exchanged it for $10 = Ben's total money is now $110
      8)Lastly, Alan took $10 back = @2:14 Ben's total money is now $100
      Summary/ TL;DR: Disregarding the $20 USB, During the scam, Ben had $130 ($120 money of his own but profited $10) but after his change raise scam, he only got $100 back. This means Alan pocketed $20 through an exchange scam while taking back the $10 that Ben initially stole through a $40 to $50 exchange. Alan is an absolute Mad Lad!

    I love that Allen doesn't even give explanation at end to explain what happen. Just flat out says other was dumb for not even noticing his scam failing before his own eyes.
