It seems this column always ends up with a focus on crime. I can only expect that to become more common as the holidays approach and crime rates rise. This week’s stories are not only about crime, but the general stupidity of those who commit it. These people pictured themselves as modern day D.B. Coopers only to find themselves caught. A word to all criminals: If you are not smart enough to talk yourself out of robbing a restaurant, you are probably not smart enough to get away with it. When you are caught, you can count on me to enjoy mocking you in the hours I am not working hard at an actual job.

We have received several phone calls where the person wants to order 300 cheeseburgers, but wants our email address so they can send the request. Then they will pay for the food, but we need to reissue them a check through Western Union. Uh…what??? They always call during a time when we are busy as shit and they go through a TTY operator so it takes f.o.r.e.v.e.r. I hang up on them.

It is not an uncommon scam. It stinks for people who actually use the TTY for legit reasons. It is still better safe than sorry, especially if they make requests like sending money back.
