in highschool my friend bought his girlfriend a led zeppelin box set at best buy. when she opened the shrink wrap it was literally empty, like no disks at all. he tried to return it and of course best buy was like 'lol sure buddy'. anyway he decided he would get revenge on them, so that summer our entire group of friends would cycle through stealing playstation memory cards (which weren't locked up or tagged) and returning them for store credit. good times, he probably got them for $500 less the $40 or $50 he lost on the original gift. anyway now he's dead, rip dave, you were a chill and righteous dude

One of my buddies in college was a full-blown klepto. He had a few thousand dollars worth of stuff that he'd stolen from campus. Ended up getting banned for life from the local Best Buy 'cause he got caught stealing video games one too many times He was a good guy though

in high school the skater kids with those enormous jnco jeans would stand next to the drink cooler in the cafeteria and drop bottle after bottle of iced tea and gatorade into their pockets. we aren't talking about one or two either, they would drop 7 or 8 bottles into those pockets and you couldn't tell, like the reverse of watching those clowns get out of the tiny car. the secret service also staked out our school and busted some kid for passing inkjet $20 bills in the lunch line. he would have gotten away with it if he only did it once or twice (or at least spaced it out), but when counterfeit currency showed up in the bank deposit for two days in a row they knew something was up, called the secret service and started discretely hitting anything larger than $5 with one of those pens. i also had a friend who used to steal cds from walmart. the joke was on him though because at that time walmart would commission special censored versions of music and games, so all the gangster rap cds he stole had half of the lyrics missing.

lonely/horny people is serious businessquote:Bumble alleges Match Group stole trade secrets through “fraudulent” behavior and hurt Bumble’s chances of selling an equity investment, or the company altogether, by filing its own patent infringement lawsuit against Bumble earlier this month. Bumble’s suit described Match’s legal action as “chilling the market for an investment in Bumble.”

I assume this would have been back in the 90s ish and yes, at that point it was basically just linen paper with green and black ink on it They've added a few security features since then but it still doesn't compare to e.g. Canadian plastic money with holograms and cutouts and poo poo

Not really but the cashier who handles dozens to hundred of bills a day probably goes on autopilot and isn't, like checking the paperfeel of each bill Besides which they are not paid close to enough to confront someone about it

We have a few of those in our SF office. theyre lol. I've used one tho just for the novelty, its fine. here in the new denver office w have uhh 15 meeting rooms and average 10-12 people that actually come into work on any given day, so its super cush. sometimes i book two rooms for one meeting on opposite sites of the building in case the climate control in one of them is being weird

Imagine a Canadian going to the US and trying the same thing  e: though it's also endlessly entertaining when an American comes into a Canadian store and gets indignant that they won't take US money because "everyone else around here does it!"
