My encounter with the Burger King Twat.

You do realize that by the time you called that they had probably emptied that trash can and thrown the bag in the dumpster, don’t you? There is no way I’d have gone dumpster diving looking for somebody else’s wallet, so I won’t blame the BK people for not doing it either.

The point is that by that time, even the BK manager knew it was a “friend” that stole the wallet.

Eleusis, friends don’t let friends post drunk.

Where were YOU?

Ummmmmmmm, sorry… goodnight.

Why not?

Too late now anyway.

Just sayin’ that in your OP you still blamed the BK TWAT, but you already knew it was your “friend”.
That’s what set me off.

One more time: My apologies to all who read this travesty.

Oh, don’t apologize. Your soused soliloquies were a lot more amusing than the OP. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think we’re all forgetting the most important part of the story:

to wit: are you going to see that girl again?

Start dating her. At least that way, all your money will STILL be gone, but at least you’ll be hooking up.

And you won’t get the rolleyes and loud sighs when you go out LARPing.

I worked as a cashier at a cafe for a while, a few years ago. Once, a woman came in, paid for her and her companions lunches with a credit card, then went to eat. When she was done, she “realized” that she had left her card on her tray, and threw it away with their garbage.

So, wonderful employee that I am, I gamely snapped on some rubber gloves and proceeded to pick through the garbage can she remembered using. They had gotten a late lunch, so the can was quite full of leftover food, beverages, and the like. So I’m picking through the trash, and she decides that maybe it’s not there after all - maybe it’s in her wallet! Lo and behold, the card has been in her wallet the whole time!

She decided, without even checking her wallet, that she must have thrown away her card, and proceeded to get me to look in the trash for it!!

So, next time you ask somebody to search the trash for something, make sure it really is there somewhere - and not in your wallet, or in a friends (or friend of a friends) car. It’s not the fault of the employee that you’ve been careless enough to throw away something valuable, and technically it is not their job to help you find it. Especially if you called very near closing time (a busy time for ANY restaurant, even a fast food joint - things need to be cleaned, prep needs to be done for the next day, etc). The trash was probably already in the dumpster, and no longer in their store.

Yeah two questions.

What’s up with the girl, and what’s up with the missing dough?

You must have been looking in a mirror when you asked those questions.

So, answer them, lush.

Trash bags get changed pretty frequently at those places. Most likely it was already in the dumpster and I wouldn’t go digging for it either. Especially not at closing time when I’m trying to get out of there. You would be welcome to dig through the dumpster on your own but you’d have to figure out for yourself what bag it was (out of dozens). You would also be responsible for cleaning the garbage corral and making sure that all the trash is properly bagged and disposed of when you’re done.

Really, calling a place at closing time and asking them to dig through garbage for you is pretty damned presumptuous. I wouldn’t dig for shit.

Are you in the third grade or something?

Considering that your SS# and other data were there in the wallet for someone to take advantage of (identity theft and other fraud, for instance), I wouldn’t assume everything is OK. Best take precautions.

I should hope not.

Like flag your credit file so you (or anyone pretending to be you) can’t get any new lines of credit without your knowledge.

Mockingbird, I don’t know what your beef is with Eleusis, but it’s really annoying. Quit hijacking the thread with your petty little shit-flinging contest.

And to the OP: I suggest looking for some new friends, stat. I’ve lost my wallet and have had strangers find it a couple of times (don’t ask) and not once has cash been missing. From strangers finding it. If cash is missing after a friend finds it, that’s pretty sad. And it speaks volumes about those you hang with.

LARP’ers eh?

LIGHTNING BOLT!!! LIGHTNING BOLT!!!

But seriously, does this girl play a thief?

Agent Fox, I’d like to suggest that this thread fills out some context, for me at least, that might be relevant to another thread. I.e.: you hang out with some skanks, definitely not dating material; and you impulsively, and unjustifiably, call women twats. Just a thought, since it’s clear by now I’M not gettin any. :wink:

You generalize that I impusively and unjustifiably call women twats from one single post? Quite the contrary, I’m afraid. I’ve more respect for women than I do men most of the time. :wink:
