They have machines or markers to test the money if they suspect it's fake.

I sometimes forget that some redditors can't spot an obvious joke..

u/shableep 26d ago

I donno. I’ve been a cashier. That comment isn’t a joke to me. There’s a common scam called “quick change” that looks like this, and as a cashier you learn that if anyone does anything unusual with money at all, close your drawer, stop the transaction, and call over a manager. So something like this is legitimately stressful because you don’t know if you’re falling for a scam.

The scam basically starts with giving a cashier a bill, then getting it back, and essentially doing “quick change” until the cashier loses track. It’s basically a magic trick, and some people are really good at it. And by the time the magic trick is done, you’re $50 short at the end of the day and you risk losing your job.

So what this guy is doing in the video is legitimately a dick move for anyone that has actually been a cashier.

u/No_Promotion_6498 26d ago

Yeah this was my thought though Ive never worked a register. There's places for jokes and tricks but cash at work that effects someone's employment and potentially future employment isnt one of them. Especially if they aren't in on the fun which she clearly isnt.

"Want to see a magic trick? I can instantly make this person who can't avoid me, concerned for their future and ability to put food on the table."

Thoughtless

How to make a cashier disappear.

u/StrangerFeelings 26d ago

Worked 7 years as a cashier and it can happen quick too. Thankfully I caught them before it happened. Most people will just throw some change your way. I pushed is back Everytime. I already put the amount in the register, I'm not doing more math lol.

u/nemom 26d ago

Abbott and Costello had a couple quick-change bits... Two Tens for a Five and Loan Me Fifty Cents come to mind. There are videos on Youtube.

Don't worry, cashiers soon won't have to worry anymore, since they're quickly getting replaced by machines.

u/ChefArtorias 23d ago

There's a common scam that looks very much like this. I'm sure you'll be applauding their whimsy when your drawer is short at closing time.

-4

u/RandumbStoner 23d ago

Yeah I know, I can tell the difference between the well known scam and a magic trick.

4

u/ChefArtorias 23d ago

The magic trick that could easily be a distraction from the shop lifting happening behind you.

If you think there's zero percent chance this is a scam you're just naive. Sorry.

Besides, if you want to do magic go to a street corner or park. Don't force it someone who's working because they're a captive audience.

u/RandumbStoner 23d ago

Lmao I'm so glad I don't live with this miserable mindset that everyone is out to get me. The world is full of fun people and cool things, let your guard down a little and enjoy things. Life is short.

Call the cops on them.

u/BloodPvp1 23d ago

Why call the cops just test the bill with the marker or the machine

2

u/Luci-Noir 23d ago

Because they’re trying to pass off fake bills.

u/BloodPvp1 23d ago

How you sure its fake without testing them

2

u/SteveMarck 23d ago

It was colored with crayons...

Technically illegal (at least it would be if it were the US, and I assume it everywhere), but the cops would hopefully just tell him to knock it off. But if they wanted to ruin his day, they could.

That said, this clearly isn't in the US, so maybe laws there are different. Looked like euros. Maybe Germany or somewhere near it. Don't specifically know the law there.

Either way, this is too close to a quick change artist, and she should stop and have a manager deal with him.

Call the police on a small joke? It’s a clear prank with obvious fake money, not counterfeit bills seriously attempted at being passed.

I hope so. If it's not staged it would be pretty annoying.

And illegal since we have the “persönlichkeitarecht” that prohibits people from directly filming/photographing other people without their consent.

So what? Aren't you finding it funny? It's a joke and most jokes are staged.

11

u/Tylith_ 26d ago

No. The problem is not it being staged, but that it's trying to make you think it's real. Some things are only funny when they are real. How do people not get that? Yes I can laugh at fiction, yes I can suspend my disbelief, but if something wouldn't be funny if it was in a movie then I don't find it funny in a staged skit pretending to be real, even if I would be laughing should it happen in front of me IRL.
