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.

Agreed. An extra euro an hour and that wouldn't have happened.

Nah, luciky there's no toilet brushes anywhere near where we get the water for tea & coffee.

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.

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 · 13-09-2012, 15:45

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
