The $100 Sub
Waynesboro, GA
An unidentified man paid for his sub sandwich and then said he’d be back for it later.
According to a report filed by the Waynesboro Police Department, a Subway employee was conned out of approximately $56 on Tuesday, Oct. 3, by a man who identified himself as Mike Williams. Witnesses said he paid for a sandwich with a $100 bill, then claimed he had been shorted on his change. After the employee gave the man his change, he couldn’t wait for his sandwich and said he’d pick it up after work.
Before leaving, he gave a female employee $2, telling her that was so she’d remember him. The employees realized the register was short $56 at the end of their shift.
Security tapes showed the black male, with a tattoo on his right arm, accepting his change from the employee, stepping back from the counter while placing something in his pocket, and then handing money back to the employee.
No further information on the identity of the man was available.

And people keep falling for these scams…. I was under the impression that cashiers in these types of places were trained to recognize the old “quick change” and “short change ” scams. I guess someone wasn’t listening.

Mike, you realize that you’re talking about people who can’t make change without the computer/cash register telling them how much to give back, right?

No. Sly, we’re talking about people who 50% of have trouble counting out the correct change AFTER the computer/cash register tells them what it is.
