not worried about that. I am friends with most of the local cops. When we called the cops today, they were there within a couple minutes. That is the reason we sell them all their stuff at or below cost...never hurts to have friends that are cops

BEST QUOTE EVER!!:D

I liked the "damn its a sh!tty day to go to jail" quote myself...there were a few of us around and we all started cracking up. One guy blew the kid a kiss and the kid was all screaming that he wanted to press charges. The cop looked him dead in the eye and said "felons dont get to press charges"

Could be a twisted Master Card commercial.

Big screen LCD screen....$X
Passing a bad check...bad idea.
Getting thrown in jail because of a crack pipe on a beautiful day...priceless.

How noble of you.

the kinda sad part is there were two girls with these guys....you could tell that they used to be pretty. But now they just look run down and nasty...why would you even want to try something like crack???

ROFL! felons don't get to press charges, if I heard that as a bystander I'd have died laughing right there!

ok...so today the cop that arrested the guy came in to check on us...turns out the kid faked a heart attack when he got to the jail. So the cops hauled him down to the hospital and waited something like four hours before they finally said oh well...they PR bonded the kid and he has court on the 21st.

A couple minutes after he left I got a call from the courts. My boss and I have been subpoena'd and have to appear...this should be fun. They ended up charging him with four different felonies.

When I worked at a coffee shop I had some dude come in and buy a coffee drink with a credit card (not a sin, I do it all the time). Except that this was a guy and the ID said "Rebecca" or something like that. I asked him for his ID and was like, "Ehhhrr... Uhhmm.....it's my girlfriend's card....she's waiting in the car. Can I just get my coffee?" I just told him to have her come in so she could sign it. He glared at me, walked out, and never came back.

Stupid f%$#ing crackheads. Anybody knows if you're going to commit check fraud you should first make a decent-looking fake ID with your photo instead of the other guy's. What's scary though is that they've probably done this before a few times and had it work.

which ones?

1 - Carrying last year's crack pipe model. (with no Type-R sticker, to boot)
2 - Poor impersonation of a 42-year-old Asian
3 - Poor impersonation of a person who's dog was killed
4 - Syntax error from arrest count+++

it's suprising how few people check IDs for credit cards....i only do if it's for a fairly large purchase or if it says check ID....most peple say "wow thanks for checking" in suprise, .....glad i still don't have a CC
