Walking out of my local coles, and as I get to the crossing, spied a 1 dollar coin on the pavement. Bend down to grab it.... Some smarty had glued it down...they got me! Lol Dumped my groceries in the car, and grabbed my army spade. Walked back over, one quick push of the spade, the one dollar is mine :) Wonder if they were doing a youtube prank? Funny how nobody seemed to notice, or care about, what I was doing.
 
Hilarious Jaros, business mustve been really slow to think up that one. Wonder if they ever made a return on their pocket money investment selling the footage to friends?

I used to moonlight when in the RAAF at a local servo back in the 80s near Newcastle. The owner araldited a 10c piece on the floor of the shop, you'd be surprised how many bent over to try.

I did the 6pm to midnight shift, one night a 30s something woman poked her head round the door near closing time and asked "can I come in dressed like this?" She then rounded the doorway dressed in nothing more than bikini bottoms.

I replied "sure, but don't expect me to look you in the eye, or get served too quickly" (I did know her as a customer)

I didn't need Clint Eastwood to "make my day" on that occasion.

You'd be shocked at just how long it took me to serve her with a bottle of coke and a packet of cigs........ :eek:
 
Love it. I always get a bit of a chuckle out if that gag. But you showed them. Must've been satisfying.

And not surprising no one batted an eyelid. I personally would have chucked on a hi - vis vest or something though to guarantee no one bothered me. It's amazing what you can get away with just by wearing hi - vis.
 
My kids put a few $1.00 & $2.00 coins in a new cement path by the back door. It often catches people when they visit. I reckon he kids got given too much pocket money.
 
This actually ended badly at my local supermarket. The weekend duty manager (we may or may not be r3lated) glued a $2 and $1 coin on the brick entry path just to give the checkout staff a giggle. Couple weeks pass by and upon opening the front door for Sunday trade there was minus two bricks. Said manager then had to put up barriers and fill out incident form.

Very bloody inconvenient, but hats off to the determination of said brick retrievers. Where there's a will....
 
Free money RKT, I like it. The oldies(any onlookers) were probably wondering why you were trying to dig through the cement (quick toilet emergency probably crossed their minds on that occasion {ha} ).
