'She was trying to steal': Scammy Karen tries to use a fake '99% off' coupon to swindle the cashier, gets pinched by the cops instead

It seems like we're always getting email promos for 10% off or 20% discounts to our favorite retail stores. Very rarely, you see a 40-50% sale and only when a store is going out of business do you catch anything higher than 75% off. That's why when one cashier spotted a Karen waltzing into their store with a 99% off coupon, they smelled something fishy.

'I just rage quit my waitressing job': Server finds out her boss was stealing her tips, quits on the spot and seeks legal action

Most people start a career as a waiter or waitress because of the money. It's no secret that servers make bank, but it's definitely not because of their minimum wage hourly rate, it's because the tipping culture in America says it's acceptable (if not encouraged) to tip 25%+ to the server on top of a restaurant receipt. So for servers who aren't making tips, why would you suffer the long hours, picky customers, and weekend enslavement? Exactly. You wouldn't.

'My stuff was more precious to me than her dignity': Girl steals $12,000 worth of watches and jewelry from her cousin's bedroom, gets caught in the act then offended when he goes through her bag

Your cousin may be buying fancy jewelry and accessories with their new-found cash, but that certainly doesn't entitle you to a piece of their diamond encrusted pie.

Either way, it is of paramount importance for the world to find out about certain (bad) things, so that individuals can work together to put a stop to them. We all play an…
