It was all just a setup.
After spending several hours in the comic book store, leafing through a number of different books, I decided to make a purchase. I approached the counter and started to make small talk with the clerk.
“You know, this one time a guy didn’t let me pay for something. Can you believe that? Flat out did not let me pay. I had all the items on the counter and I was ready to pay him but the guy was adamant that I could not checkout. He was such a jerk.”
“OK, that’ll be ---”
“So you know what I did?” I continued. “I had his whole store shut down. They didn’t have a sanitation problem before I was there, but they certainly did afterward! I let tons of rats and other vermin inside the store and then filed a complaint with the health department.”
“That’s … nice. Your total is $17.99.”
I opened up my Nobo Soft Genuine Leather Bi-Fold Wallet and flipped through the slices of bologna I kept in the cash pocket. After counting off about five of them, I took them out and put them down on the counter.
“Uh, sir?” the clerk said nervously. “We don’t take bologna here.”
“So you’re saying,” I said, leaning over the counter some. “You aren’t going to let me pay?”
A few minutes later, I was walking out of the store with a new comic book, completely amazed that the trick I came up with actually worked.
