Default HalFrauds!

Returned a tool to my local branch as it was a load of rubbish yesterday and the guy didn't have any £5 notes so I gave him the £7.01 and he gave me a £20 note as a refund. Job done. Or so I thought

Went to buy fuel last night at the FS meet only to find the £20 was a fake. Shall I say the conversation was an interesting one this morning as the doors opened . The lad that did the refund was there and denied giving it to me until I produced the receipts. Little fooker tried to deny the note came from there and said he gave me 2 tenners. He didn't seem at all surprised when I told him the note was naff though He wasn't going to give me a replacement until I offered to make him eat it then he had a kind change of heart

Apologies to MadMac for bitching about it for half of last night

steve why dont ya speak to people who know there system first ya gimp

there cctv is on the till drawers and can zoom in and see exactly what comparment the money came from, thus confirming what money was given out, all the cctv in halfords stores is more to do with staff theft rather than general theft

if they get really arsey ask for chris hoskins mobile and complain to the welshman as hes there head security guy, hes a total wanker but fook me is he good at catching people stealing, with what he knows i recon hes a former safe cracker, hes fooking shit hot and is the guy who gets all the cctv and theres not a scam he hasnt thought of or delt with yet

I know mate but I know the guys in that Shell quite well as I always fill there. They even let me leave and pop back once the missus appeared.
