I remember when Canadians would be disgusted with such an action.
It was an obvious mistake and this guy took advantage of that mistake, then gloated about it.
I think it was all to promote a damn dicey business as well. The guy owns a business that "helps to find deductions for people" and claims that they routinely get people an additional "$9000" back.
So like an accountant, but not certified as an accountant. Seems legitimate to me.
Especially considering how he may or may not be promoting it by bragging about how he scammed the liquor store by capitalizing on an error and being a dick to customer service.
That proud grin in his social media pictures where he brags about how smart he was and shows off his ill-gotten gains was just outrageous.
I just thought "congratulations dickhead, a bunch of people are going to get fired over this shit but you're p. roud of yourself, aren't you? You total piece of shit."
Just disgusting behaviour. Whatever happened to being honest?
Oh yeah I remember when Canadians could logically accept why this is a good thing. Oh wait, I don't, Canadians are intentionally retarded !
At least 4 employees, plus a manager. Probably more.
At bare minimum there's the salesclerk who didn't check the order, then there's the warehouse worker who loaded it, the programmer who allowed the loophole, the customer service agent who gave up rather than escalation, and the manager of the store who didn't check it.
As for further people, the manager of the programmer, the customer service manager who didn't catch what was happening and intervene, the security guard who didn't intervene, the clerk who checks orders for the store, and the area director who was responsible for the entire affair.
Everyone involved will have their careers damaged at the very least and there will definitely be a few firings in the middle of a depression and people who are fired do not qualify for pogey. They'll have gone from having a solid job to being totally fucked in the middle of a depression, when they worked right through CERB as essential workers during a scary pandemic just a few months ago.
This guy's religion isn't the significant thing to note in the story, what's notable is that he talks about taking it up to his cottage. This guy's family is not poor, he's grown up quite privileged yet he feels that he is entitled to rip-off and fuck over retail employees.
He's such a piece of shit.
I've actually been in the middle of a scammer scenario at work and while I stayed clean, heads fucking rolled.
I can't detail how bad, or resourceful this particular scammer was for fear that someone else would try exactly what he did but when all was said and done, a lot of heads ended up rolling.
It was bad. It was so fucking bad.
For a company that size, a 1k loss isn't a big deal. There's absolutely no fucking way the warehouse guy filling the order gets in shit like you said they would. That would be abso-fucking-lutely retarded. Warehouse guy is there to fulfill an order, not do forensic accounting on it.
Back during my Quebec party days we discovered the "spin the tallcan in the pack" to scan the single UPC and drank hundreds or thousands of 4 OR 5-for-1 import beers!
Like that was the closest I'll ever be to $14 OJs, I really give no fucks about queer boomer moral relativism ..
Could in Manitoba in the past. Now there's a security door to enter, you show valid ID and it gets recorded, and a security guard lets you in.
Natives were going wild before, company had to protect their product.
