It's a very common scheme, so AMC. 161 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.040 It's so funny because the biggest, the biggest complaint I 162 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.800 get on my videos is the host talks about himself 163 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.519 too much. Let me go, let me go. 164 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:03.319 I want to know. 165 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.720 Okay, Okay, here's what you do. Okay, when you're stealing 166 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:13.079 from a place that is places that sell soda generally 167 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.160 don't inventory the soda or the popcorn. They can't, you know, 168 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.079 sixty five kernels he lost. So what they do is 169 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.319 they inventory the bags, the bags and the cups and 170 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.600 everything else. Now this shows you how old I was. 171 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.120 A large soda was like eight bucks and a small 172 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.679 soda was five bucks. So if you hand them a 173 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.840 large soda and they're paying cash, and they hand you 174 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.720 eight dollars, your drawer is now three dollars over. Now 175 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.480 you do that ten times and your drawer is now 176 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:49.039 thirty dollars over. Now your friend comes up and buys 177 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.480 a soda and you give him thirty dollars too much 178 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.879 cash back? Wow, and your drawer is even. And their 179 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.240 inventory is fucked to shit because they're going, we have 180 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.039 no small cups and we're supposed to have sold all 181 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.759 these large cups. Yeah, yeah, we have. They called us 182 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.440 into a theater. They called the whole whole crew into 183 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.879 a theater and go, guys, whoa, guys, we're having a 184 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.279 problem with inventory. It seems like we have no small 185 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:24.000 cups around here anymore. And I'm just sitting there with 186 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.519 like my two other friends that are also doing it. Again, 187 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.879 I've reformed.
