Casino hallIf someone comes up to you and says “Yo, man, give me a couple thousand pounds, I’ll just hop by the casino across the street and win some cash and then I’ll return it to you”, your first response probably shouldn’t be “That’s a great idea, why didn’t I think of that!” Sadly, two workers at McDonald’s Oxford Street branch had to learn this important life lesson the hard way after being caught taking money from the safe and handing them over to friends, who proceeded to place high-rolling bets in the Genting Club across the street. After they won, they would keep the earnings for themselves before returning the original amount to be placed back in the safe, leaving no one the wiser. If you have even a little bit of common sense, you’d soon realize that this plan has one fatal flaw – once the casino players begin losing money, which would inevitably happen no matter how good you are, the entire scam would be uncovered. Surprise surprise, this is exactly what happened – once the two employees found themselves unable to return the appropriate amount into the safe, they were quickly caught by the van driver charged with transporting the amount. Hurray for security cameras, catching idiotic employees in the act since 1942!
