Every now and then fate smiles upon us and presents us with a unique (and somewhat lucrative) opportunity to literally grab some quick cash. You won't get rich doing this but there's nothing wrong with a few extra bucks here n there. It adds up over time.
Identify a coffee shop that has one of those highly presumptuous tip jars on the counter. Visit toward the end of the day after the suckers of the day have dropped in cash. This one place I hit every 3-4 months or so (typical employee turnover time as they mostly hire naive U of T students) tends to have a payout of anywhere from 40-60 dollars come end of the day. Yeah! I know. I know. Customers are stupid.
Anyways, you wanna mozy on in about 30 minutes before closing time. You must ensure the place has no camera and that you are the only customer. Order a coffee and be ready to act fast. When the gal passes you the coffee you "accidentally" spill it all over her. Just make sure it topples toward her and gets her on her apron or pants. She will be distracted (run for a mop, go the bathroom to clean up, etc). You only need about 5 seconds. Grab a fistful of loonies, toonies, 5s (yeah, some people leave bills -- phucking morons!) and stuff em in your pocket. Always grab the bigger bills first (if any are available). If the scalded employee is out of sight, bolt like the wind. If she is still there, just apologize, act embarrassed and say you're so very sorry and will pass on the coffee. Calmly walk out.
