I cannot believe you come up to my place of work and steal MY filled tip cup! No one was in the front of the store at the time and I was cleaning and happened to look up and see you run off with my tips missing. It’s bad enough I see you almost every single day, pretending you can’t talk, asking people for spare change. I made the mistake of deciding to walk home from work and giving you my bus change one day. Then you go and steal my money that I work my ass off for? You make me sick. —Keeping a Close Eye on My New Tip Cup

If the government spent more money on funding for the arts, things like this wouldn’t happen so often.^^
Seriously OP that sucks but chalk it up as a reasonably inexpensive way to learn that you never turn your back on a skell.
Perhaps a chain would work better than your eye.
Is that the guy who crosses the road whenever, wherever? I can’t fucking stand taht guy.
I heard on the radio this morning this guy had stolen a charity box of money at this store and ran off and as soon as he ran outside he was hit by a bus. No one was chasing him, either.
He’s now in critical condition.
I’m not one for karma but…. this is pretty darn close to me believing that karmic things do happen.
Pretends he can’t speak? Yep, another one who seems to know where the well of endless pennies is located. Do like the Tims staff and stick the jar behind the counter, preferably in view of a camera.
He’s the one who’s tongue’s always sticking out of his mouth, right?
I think he plays shit up because he just seems way too entitled to be really mentally disabled. NGF told me once these asian people didn’t give him money when he was panhandling and he pulled the sides of his eyes back when they walked by. If he was mentally disabled, I doubt he would’ve be cognizant enough to do that.
One of these days he’s going to get hit by a car/bus… and come that day I won’t necessarily be shedding a tear over it.
If you knew who it was why didn’t you call the police. And if you’re not at the counter hde your tips and lock the till.
I think you and I are thinking of 2 different people PK. The tongue guy I have no issues with, he is good for bus fare. The guy I refer to is bearded, pretends (I think) he’s deaf and rolls cheap smokes when he’s on the bus. I haven’t seen him since I stopped driving the 80 on Sunday nights and that was 2 years ago.
So who’s the little doofus who sits on the bench by a certain Barrington St. candy store? If you don’t give him something, he gives you the finger after you pass by. I’ve also seen the little slimeball prancing around the northend with a case of beer under his arm a few times.
String some jingle bells around your tip cup, OP – that’ll give you a heads up next time this scumsucker comes in and tries to rip you off.
Ooooooh ok.
The tongue guy bothers me because he’s constantly harrassing the same people over and over again and gets pissy when they don’t give him any money. And he walks out in the middle of the road like cars/busses can magically stop to accommodate him.
And while it probably wouldn’t affect my life if he did end up as someone’s hood ornament, I would kinda be pissed off that he did that to some poor schlep who’d have to live with the fact that they hit someone with their vehicle even though it wouldn’t be their fault.
You ever experienced the pug dog lady? She goes around with piles of cash in her pockets, will put 40 cents in the fare box and then expect someone to pay the rest for her. One time someone gave her five bucks for fare (some poor guy on the bus) thinking the driver could give him change. Then someone gave her a the rest of the money and she tired putting the guy’s five bucks in her pocket! She usually gets on the bus on south park and’ll grill people on why they won’t give her money or a cigarette when she asks them for one… when I’ve seen her take piles of 20s and 50s out of her pocket. The lady who refused to give her a cigarette told me and NGF that she gambles and that’s why she’s always bumming money.
She’s the pug dog lady because her face literally looks like a pug dog’s face.

I’d totally have no problem with her if she wasn’t a frigging scammer. She’s got piles of 20s and 50s yet tries to keep some nice guy’s 5 dollar bill. And not in an entitled way, in a sneaky way.
I can’t stand sneaks.
Can’t say I’ve experienced the PDL, but she’d probably go well with Dartmouth’s version of Mr. Moneybags.
This bitch happened to me once. Haha. In fact I posted a bitch here about it ages ago. The man was banned from our store (he limps around Halifax and he used to carry a cane with him; has a bunch of scars) for other reasons, and he came in and demanded he get something and my co-worker went to go call the cops on him because he wouldn’t leave. When he did, he grabbed a handful of change from our tip jar and took off.
I’ve yet to run into him. But since then I’ve just been waiting for it so I can say, “No, you owe ME money!”
sounds to me like a job for,”hoboman”. faster than a speeding garbage truck, more powerful than fetid food. able to jump turnstiles in a single bound, to get free rides.
either get him o.p., or call the cops. you said you see him everyday, so you know his hangouts, don’t wait for this karma bullshit. she is getting banged by the four furies.
and if he can’t help you, then help buddy not walk at all. a little straight hard kick to the front of the knees, works wonders for those just pretending.
hm… possible market for electrified tip jars? Just give a nice surprising sting like one of those old hand buzzers, not a jolt or anything that could be actually troublesome.
OP, got security cameras? Call the cops, it’s theft under $5000. Sounds like some beggar, panhandling asshole leech of society. Throw him (or her) in jail and melt the key.
*holds out his hat and mumbles “ollar!”*
I HATE the guy with the tongue. We call him Cane Guy because he used to always have a cane. He’s stolen stuff from my shop a few times. Tips, juice, and even though we tell him he’s banned, he keeps coming in anyway.
ummmmmm……if they are begging for change, I highly doubt it that they are reading your bitch, just saying…….
