I was almost fired when I worked as a parking lot attendant.
How the process worked is, the lot served a community college and there was only one way in the parking lot. It was a flat rate, so the customer would pay the 2 bucks (or whatever it was) I would hand them a sequentially numbered ticket that they would put on their dash and they would park.
At the end of the shift I would fill out a deposit slip that had a entry for what ticket number I started with and what ticket number I ended with and I put all the cash and that slip in a plastic bag that would seal up and I would deposit it in the bank. Typically the daily deposit amount would be around 350 bucks.
Well one day the boss calls me and says that they can’t find a deposit and I have to come in and explain why. I went in and told them that I made the deposit at the end of yesterday’s shift.
I get suspended.
About a week later the boss calls me and says the bank found the deposit and my suspension is over. I had already found another job so I just told him that I am resigning.
What to know the really fucking up part? Every now and then a driver would give me back the ticket as they left the parking lot. I would just throw it in the trash. Well one day a driver handed me his ticket as he was leaving, and another driver was coming in so, I just reused the ticket.
You see what is coming, don’t you? I started making a point of reusing tickets and keeping the two bucks. I would STEAL the money. I would steal odd amounts, 16 bucks one day, 22 bucks the next day.
I figure I must have stolen at least 1000 bucks from that place when it was all said and done.
