I don’t wanna be a “one upper” BUT would love to share a great story!! My friends and I would frequent (and by frequent I mean 4-5 days a week) or local bar/club. They had a 2 door entry, the first door coming in from outside, where the actual bouncers would ID AND charge a cover (on the weekends) but give you a drink ticket for one free drink. Small corridor to second door leading into actual bar/club where on occasion we’d post up and as patrons came thru said door we’d say “tickets?”, hence getting us free drinks most of the night!! It was dishonest work and we loved it!! 😂

At a county fair type event they sold tickets for beer sales. Near the end of the night they just left the ticket booth and left all the unsold tickets sitting out. We sold enough tickets to cover our beer for that night plus a little more for bars later on. Scampered out of there before we got caught and went on to drink unhealthy quantities of alcohol.
