When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have ‘2 for $x’ specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item.
People would often not want to buy 2, but I would ring up 2 in the till for the special price and charge them for the single. Then when the next person did the same, I would charge them for the other single.
So over the day, I would sell 10 energy drinks at say $4, but ring them up as 5 ‘2 for $6’ specials. This would put the till up by $10, and then I would use that $10 to have a free meal.
Anyone else do anything like that?
It won’t be off though. Every bottle is accounted for. I sold 10 bottles for $40 but they are added to the till as 10 bottles for $30 at the special price.
Still illegal, at the absolute least it’s tax fraud.
Not saying I care, just speaking as a matter of fact
If you never mess up, they’ll probably never catch you. But you are committing a felony and if you do get caught, there are consequences. I wish you the best, truly. But you are taking a risk.
A risk 20 years ago when I was a stoner on minimum wage. It’s all in the past now.
Felony? I think it’s more of a misdemeanor.
Depends on how much money they take over the long term I assume.
It probably totaled less than $100.
