How To Scam Free Gas

(dignity not required)

1. Pump Gas.

2. Go into the store with a handful of change (nickles or dimes work best), and tell the cashier exactly how much you have. This amount should be about $1 less than the amount of gas you pumped, even if it;s not really the amount you have.

3. Act really upset by the fact that you don't have enough money to pay for all the gay you just bought.

4.  At this point the cashier will probably send you on your merry way and accept whatever change you offer as payment for the gas.

While you may have only scammed $1 worth of free gas, this amount will add up, and you will have that much more to spend on beer.

3. Make the cashier wait because "you might have the change", especially if you know you do not.
