Just like the old trick of stuffing toilet paper into a pay phone's coin slot, this guy was doing it to ATMs. Weird that this is the first I've ever heard of it when ATMs have been around for decades now.
Cops Catch ATM Napkin Scammer (http://consumerist.com/2010/11/new-atm-scam-uses-napkins.html)
San Francisco PD have caught a crook using an ingeniously low-fi method to rip people off ATMs: napkins.
A merchant on Divisadero Street tipped the cops off after he spied the crook stuffing napkins up into ATM cash dispenser slots. When people tried to take cash out, it would get stuck up behind the napkins. After they walked away frustrated, the guy just strolled over, reached up into the slot, and dislodged the napkins, and walked away with their cash.
According to the police, the man who lived in the Tenderloin district of San Fran, is a serial napkin stuffer. He was charged with burglary. After they arrested him, cops found another ATM stuffed with napkins close by.
So if you go to withdraw money from an ATM and it doesn't come out, don't just finger around in the try, also reach up into the slot and see if there's anything stuck there. After that, try to take a cellphone picture of the ATM screen for evidence and then call the number on the ATM for service. (If the ATM is in a bank, you of course should just go inside and ask for help.)

I'm only angry because I didn't think of it first. In other news I got a job at 7-Eleven. I'm replacing a man who was basically shot to hell and back over a few dollars in the register he tried to fight and keep. Any tips on making the customers feel more welcome to cactus science?

Be Dante to their face. Be Randall as soon as they get out the door. I've been doing it for years and having a ball!

You know the sad part is I wish there was a friend of mine at the video store up the street from us just so I can perform a live action rendition of that movie for the rest of my life? It's a simple wish. But one that can bring years of entertainment.

You can always talk your friend into working at the video store. You do realize if the place burns down, you and your friend will have to work at a fast food restaurant. If you're lucky two drug dealers will give money to buy the 7-11. However you have to promise to let them hang outside anytime they want to and you can't call the cops on them.
The upside is you don't have to blow each other and go ass-to-mouth while they watch
You know what? You're not even supposed to be here today.

Just make sure that you NEVER EVER give any old Jewish guy porn to take into the bathroom with him.

Tonight was my first night working the night shift. It's what I signed up for. We had a couple of drunk Mexicans who speak enough English to tell me and another person to go fuck ourselves, and then we had this massive black guy and small tweaker chick who literally ripped the door off of one of our coffee islands to look for tin foil to make a pipe.
And besides. You never go ass to mouth. Never. But we do have the druggies who hang outside and one of them even has long hair. This is a promising career move.

I wouldn't go messing with the meth heads if I were you. Those guys are crazy. Not the fun kind of crazy either. The stab you with a knife and cut out your innards looking for the "prize inside" crazy.

true, however, if you can capture one of them and bring them home, they will clean your house like noone ever has before! Tell them that tweek has fallen all over your carpet and they will vacuum for days just to lick the vacuum dust collector! They can be really useful if you think outside of the box.

And an amazing amount of women will you show their tits in a heart beat for free food, too. It's like working in a shitty part of town isn't bad, I guess; but the quality of the tittage that freely flows forth from their shirts aren't that spectacular. 7-11 is officially the easiest job I've held my entire life. Now to work out getting free food like there's no tomorrow.

Everything I know about meth I learned from that chick in "Real Genius".
Also, won't it be hard to stuff ATMs? Only some models must be vulnerable to them unless the guy is stuffing in the napkins before the money slot closes.
