Don’t try to scam a store when you’re living in their bathroom. They probably know who you are.
lmao
Or where you live.. :)
And in their cupboard before that.
Hopefully one day we hear the story, how he got out of there.
@@StormflameMW He never did.
@yes it was a good day Report this bot.
Rowan's solution would be much simpler, a sign saying "No change, any extra is considered a tip"
+Greg TheReaper or he'd make Ben get "back" to work...
Here in Brazil, there's was a Groceries Store that actually did exactly that in São Paulo.
@@Vic_Chaos_ Rowan doesn't recognize employees who aren't in Playtech tops.
@@Vic_Chaos_ "Do you want me to dock your pay?" "But I don't even" "Zzzt..shh! Can you read the signs? Management decisions are final"
@@GregTheReaper tsk. Outrageous. Unbelievable. But then again, low socio-economic peasants, aren't they? So...
Bro started with 100 and left with 20 and a USB 💀
he actually started with 1 100, 1 10 (he gave alan 4 10s but received 3 from alan back for the change on the 100 at the start) and 5 20s
Yeah I think the math checks out
@@YSFmemories
🤓
He also forgot that free laptop
@@jotheunissen9274
Free laptop with every USB stick 😂
I'm a cashier. And someone tried to pull this on me. Because of this sketch, I was able to do what Allen did because I didn't even know this was a thing. Thanks guys! And if someone tries to say your sketches don't teach anything, show them this
So that was you?!
i still confused on what alan actually did
@Ave He pulled a change rate scam. The idea is you exchange a lot of money around with a cashier and trip them up with all the numbers and converting that you end up with more money than you initially started with.
@@DenisBalykin Lol no. I was the Alan in this situation. And yeah like @MoBeeLex said, someone TRIED to flip a bunch of numbers around me when it came to getting change. But I did what Alan did and just did the same thing but made it more complicated. My boss (who I'm friends with) tried to intervene when she saw what the customer was doing. I just gave her the hand. She was legit impressed when she saw what I did
I think if my math is right, it equals out so Ben never ends up gaining anything lol 😂
No heist is ever gonna be as perfect as the one Ellie's been pulling on playtech for the past few years.
that's not a heist, that's just being paid properly. always aim to be paid how much you believe you're worth, dont stay near minimum wage
Thats because of rowan, he is a very very briliant 🤓🧠 man in a mathematics
The gender wage gap is real
@@MrAlex173 yeah ok, unless she profits from favoritism, and that she does... actualy a lot.
getting the biggets bonus when she does nothing realy, and while others gets paycuts for dropping a pen, she does not, because of the double standards rowan has, and it is pretty obvious btw...
so yeah she profits over nothing just because she is a girl, and she god damn knows it well and takes advantage of it. so yeah no... there's a gap between being paid properly and taking advantage of the situation, which she does obviously.
@@icejohn94 imagine understanding the joke but getting offended
I pray for Alan's sanity everytime Ben enters the store.
I pray for a Crazy Alan scene whenever Ben enters the store...like when he tried to shop after they were closed, pure gold!
I just pray for his sanity.
Remember ya lick it ya keep it
@@MrShrimpnugget 👅
*Fair thee well Ben fair thee well hey hey hey goodbye"
If Rowan reviews the security tape, he'll probably end up giving Alan a pay cut, believing he lost money.
Or maybe he’ll see that Alan scammed the other guy and gave Alan a pay cut because of that, without realizing Ben was trying to scam.
You think he knows if they have security cams?
This hinges on the fact that Roman does his job. Alan is safe.
@@Evija3000 in another one of his other videos Alan tells Rowan to review the tapes to show that Ben stole a thing to refund it immediately after, and in one of his earlier videos, they do have webcams on the toilets that Rowan was looking at, so why not in the store?
@@RubyPiec because its a rowan thing to have cameras in bathroom but not the store
I knew Ben was in trouble the moment he walked in the store and Alan didn’t groan in aggravation! 😆
So now we know how Alan can still afford to live after all his pay cuts.
The fact Alan outplayed Ben got me the most lmao
Yes the power levels are not balanced
He should be promoted to assistant manager
@@GamIngDoge. hope this ain't serious lol. Who reads comments BEFORE watching the video? 😆 if you do that it's your own fault if you get spoiled lol
Edit: felt like I had to toss an edit because upon further inspection it seems that when on mobile sometimes the comment section does appear in the video.... only when you are already reading the comments and you switch to full screen though, so @Dead Russian Libral, your point is totally still moot lmao.
@@princealmighty5391 what if Rowan vs Ben on this scene?
As satisfying as the one time Hamish won against Rowan. I can't remember which episode but I'm sure someone else knows...
There is a very simple counter to this, simply inform the customer that this store is not a bank
You have no idea how happy it makes me to finally see Ben get he deserves.
Alan is such a genius, and I love how Ben thinks he won.
It was a strong move starting w/ taking 100 and giving 150. On the opening move it's in Ben's favor, and that lowered his guard.
@@bohemianprince7944 Here's the breakdown:
Ben got $80 (change out of 100 for $20 USB) + 50 (he gave 40 and got 50 and he profited 10) = At this point, he has $120 of his own money +$10 profit = $130.
Note: It is important to note that he gave away his original $100 bill in exchange for the USB and received an $80 change. This is different from the $40 he gave away. The $40 turned into $50 ($10 profit) is not from the $80 change. Meaning he got $130 money during the scam.
Then the 5 twenties for the whole $100 bill. He got his original $100 back, but technically nothing happened. Ben still got $130.
@1:44 it starts to become tricky/complex/complicated but here's the breakdown of Ben's $130:
1) Alan took away Ben's $100 in exchange for $150 = Ben's total money is now $180.
2) Alan took Ben's $20 in exchange for $10 = Ben's total money is now $170.
3) Alan gave Ben $100 but took away his $50 in exchange for $20 = Ben's total money is now $240.
4) Alan took Ben's $100 in exchange for $50 = Ben's total money is now $190.
5) Alan immediately exchanged $50 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $150.
6) Alan exchanged 2 twenties meaning $40 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $120.
7) Alan took another $20 and exchanged it for $10 = Ben's total money is now $110
8)Lastly, Alan took $10 back = @2:14 Ben's total money is now $100
Summary/ TL;DR: Disregarding the $20 USB, During the scam, Ben had $130 ($120 money of his own but profited $10) but after his change raise scam, he only got $100 back. This means Alan pocketed $20 through an exchange scam while taking back the $10 that Ben initially stole through a $40 to $50 exchange. Alan is an absolute Mad Lad!
@@kaki-8888 well played thanks for the explanation bro
you didnt beat ben, its all just a small part of a larger scam that Alan just doesnt even realise.
..or any of us realize, to be honest.. Ben is -80$ and +1 USB stick. I wonder where the scam part comes in. :)
@@dynad00d15 i think we re all aware, maybe Mikey meant this is part of Ben's plan to let Alan's guard down for another scam in the future
Playing the long game.
Of course, all the money he gave was counterfeit. He lost 60 bucks while legitimizing a few 100. And if cops start to dig around, he can always defend himself as the shop has tricked him and lying.
@@CemKalyoncu The benefits of polymer banknotes are that it's harder to counterfeit, unlike paper notes.
This happened to me once when I was working as a cashier. I have a thing about keeping people waiting, so when this guy started asking for all these money changes, I was so concerned about how long it was taking that I didn't put much thought into the math. By the end of it I think I costed us like $50-150. Felt terrible
Me too! I was a new cashier and it was Christmas time, so super busy. Got me for 300 bucks and my job. Trick is to have a policy that requires a manager (or disallow entirely) for exchanges like that and to immediately close the cash drawer when they start pulling the stunt.
@@leafandlore Damn, you lost your job because of it?? D:
@@platinum9825 yup, it was at a Dollar General. At the time they had like a zero tolerance policy over certain amounts lost. But that was like more than ten years ago.
@@leafandlore Ahh well of that was the known policy then I guess it's understandable. I was pretty lucky, my manager and coworker were very lenient and understanding of my numerous mistakes, it's a wonder I never got fired
Instead of confusing exchanges, they usually just claim to have given you a bigger bill. Like give 50$ bill on a 30$ purchase, you hand out 20, they said, no I gave you 100. The thing is to never put their bill in the cash drawer, until the transaction is over. When they pull that one, you just say, no I still got your bill in my left hand right here...
As a fan of The Real Hustle, I loved this just for the framing device.
Also, I appreciate that the change raise scam was textbook right up to the point when Ben shorts Alan with 4 tens for a 50. To complete the scam, at this point he would add another 10 and the 50 he just got from Alan and ask for for the .100 back, leaving him with an extra 50.
Damn Ben vs Alan never gets old 😂

This was actually brilliant. Had absurd parts, cool parts, funny parts and meta parts. Great work
Rowan's gotta be happy with Alan's USB special, an extra $10 a great deal for Playtech.
Especially after the time Rowan gave away laptops for a usb stick and headphone “samples”
I counted an extra 60? He was short 10 from 4 10$s for a 50$, Then managed to swap 100$ for 30$ The usb was already paid for so 100-30-10=60
The math is fuzzy because we don't know what was done "off camera" but if he walked out with only the USB drive and $20... he definitely got absolutely destroyed lol.
ye that's why he showed the money in the end
He came in with a 100, and five 10s (so he started with 150). The price was 20. He left with only two 10s (20 remaining). So he ended up losing 130 for something that only cost 20. We only need to see the beginning and result to know what happened.
@@oyoo3323 Didnt he come in with five 20s as well?
@@PiikachUwU_OSRS i don't think so, he came in with the $100 and exchanged that for 5 $20's
The real scam - 20$ for a USB Drive
Ben starts out with 100.
The USB costs 20, resulting in 80 he gets in one 50 and three 10s.
He tries switching four 10s into one 50, resulting in 90 total.
He then hands over five 20s for one 100. The result is unchanged.
Ben then wants to give the 100 first in exchange for twenty 10s, which Alan don't have that many 10s for, so instead tries with five 50s. The result is unchanged, still 90.
After that Alan takes control and takes Ben's 100 for three 50s. Ending with 150 for Ben for this calculation.
He then takes Ben's 20 and gives him a 10. Resulting in 140 for Ben.
He then gives Ben the 100 and takes the 50 for a 20. Resulting in 210 for Ben.
He then takes Ben's 100 again, to give him a 50, he takes back immediately to give him a 10. Resulting in 120 for Ben.
He then takes his two 20s for a 10. Resulting in 90 for Ben.
He then hands over a 10 for a 20. Resulting in 80 for Ben.
And finishes with taking one 10 back. Resulting in 70 for Ben.
Math seems to check out. I was unsure if they reset it all when Alan took control, but if the math is to go with it all they must have.
You are overanalyzing this. It is simpler of you go like this: Ben put up $210, walked away with $40 of cash and merchandise. Net loss=170
@@TheHomelessDreamer I'm not overanalyzing anything. I was writing what they did bit for bit. Most people in the comment sections are asking for the math and I was wondering about it too. So ended up doing this to solve that issue.
Yep, pretty much it.

They're currently under review from HR, and need to lie low for a bit.

I actually did have a customer try to run a change scam on me once. I simply wouldn't let him interrupt me counting out the change. "You can ask for change after I count this out."
Yeah I do that too. Not even in case of scams, I just know I could fuck it up pretty easily and have to make extra sure I’m counting it right. It’s why people who get impatient with me counting their tens of coins piss me off. Maybe next time bring dollars and not 10 dimes and 20 nickels?
One of the best skits ever.

@@RenYso nah man he just watched it faster
Indeed
Ben enters store...
Ben comes up with a plan on how to steal money
Alan : are you sure about that?
I mean the sad thing is these really do work and it's usually the minimum wage cashier that gets fired over being short. All I can say is what a friend in my first retail job said, never put their money in the register till you give them their change. That avoids the whole "I gave you a 20/100/etc" excuse when they gave you a 10 or something. Also if they want to further make transactions the first one has to be completed and put in the register.
If they are speeding it up, slow it down. All else fails just say "sorry we can't give out that much change" if they try pull out a big bill. Or say "my manager will have to deal with that".
Alan is radiating the energy of a workplace senior that already have his job figured out and now is just spending the absolute minimum amount of effort in working.
Nice job Allan you destroyed him. It's been long since I laughed this much. He was played like a fiddle

Turning the tables on Ben. It's all I've ever wanted and needed! Another win for Alan. He really has come a long way on that front.
Imagine without these music and film separation it is not like that so magical and maybe a little awkward with fun😂☺️
I've had people try to pull this on me and it get awkward for them when I keep the money separated and counted correctly. Good scam for them unless they meet someone that keeps math equations separate and doesn't want to lose their job.

I've seen all your videos. This is one of my favorites. Just Ben's face is the best. Great skit !
Best monday ritual ever, always starting off the week with a new vldl
The part at the end was so confusing, all I know was Ben ended up with $20 when he started off with at least $110 maybe more.
Alan got 20 extra outta Ben lol. Ben did end up gettin 10 extra for swapping the 4 10s for a 50, but when he tried to get change for the 100, Alan took the 100, gave him 150, then took a 20 for a 10 which makes 140, gave him the 100, back for a 50 then gave him 20 back which leaves Ben with 210. Then took his 100 back for 150 which would’ve been 260 but he immediately swaps that for a 10 so now Ben’s got 120 instead. Then he takes back 2 20s for a 10 so Ben now has 90 but then Alan swaps another 20 for a 10, which leaves Ben at 80 lol
I was high as fuck tryna figure out the math so I broke it down 😂
I thought Ben brought $240 cash (1x100, 4x10, 5x20) and left with a $20 usb and 2x $10. In that case he’s down $200.
@@RobertJordan7 nah I doubt he’d be down that much lol they prolly just showed what was in his hands to make it look a lot less
I got the math to work out to Ben paying exactly $20. Though I did watch it about three times to follow it. Your math works too, except for accounting for the cost of the USB to be paid for.
This was nice and dynamic! It felt like a preview to an action comedy with a surprisingly deep meaning xD
I can't believe nobody is calling out the amazing homage to Ocean's Eleven (and 12, 13, 8)! These scam/wannabe heist videos are some of my favorites. Thanks VLDL for making my day!
Back when I was a teenager and visiting Canada for the first time, I bought some snacks and thought I had accidentally scammed them on the change because I gave them an American twenty and got back a little more than twenty Canadian (and the snacks). Later when I looked at the exchange rate and actually did the math, I realized that I was the one that got scammed.
They applied the exchange rate after the purchase instead of before.
$20 -$3= $17 $17 + 25%=$21.25
$20 +25%= $25 $25-$3= $22
These aren't the exact figures as it was in the early 80's and my memory isn't perfect, but I remember that the exchange rate was really high at that time (maybe 28%) and I had lost a little over a dollar. Luckily it was a small price to pay to learn not to be a stupid tourist and exchange my money at a bank.
[laughs in leaf]
In my part of Canada if they take American money at all it would be taken at face value. They’ll often outright refuse to take American coins so it’s a real pain when you accidentally get one in your change as you pretty much have to take it to a bank. No one has time to be figuring out exchange rates. I’m about 6 hours drive from the nearest border crossing, it’s probably different in border communities.
I'm just confused why they would accept America cash in Canada and proceed to give your change in Canadian dollars. If they were going to accept American cash then they should have given you change in more American cash.
@@kurtisf3366 in the States I have a keen eye for Canadian coins. They accidentally get slipped in sometimes and I just refuse them. We've even seen them in coin rolls from the bank and in that situation I just switch them out with extra change we have lying around pocket the Canadian coin as a souvenir.
Hey be glad that they even did an exchange rate, usually if you bring American money 1 of 2 things happen. They refuse to take it or they treat it as though it's just the Canadian bill/coin.
Ben - Master of Maffs! And now imagine if Rowan was to handle the exchange xD
Rowan can go either way, since he is just personified chaos. He might either scam ben by accident or get fooled into handing over playtech itself.
Ben: Can you change a hundred? That will be 19x10 dollar.
Rowan: I don't have that many
Ben: Oh crap, just throw me two Air Books in and we're fine..
Rowan: Great, that will be 4000 for the two bags
@@ignispurgatorius5297 damn i would like to see that episode that ben would actually just enter in the playtech and say he own the place now xD

@@johnschmidtz5337 I think your ears have been chopped off buddy, might have to go see a Doctor.
Here is the math in case anyone is interested.
original cost 20
change for the 100 note was 80
so they are even
Then ben gives 4 10s for a 50 Alan is now at -10$
then ben gives him 5 20s for a 100 changing nothing.
Alan takes back the 100 note for 3 50s Alan is now at -60$
Alan takes 20 and gives a 10 Alan is now at -50$
he gives him back the 100 Alan is now at -150$
he takes a 50 for a 20 Alan is now at -120$
then takes back the 100 Alan is now at -20$
he then gives him a 50 but swaps it out with a 10 so only gives him 10$ Alan is now at -30$
He then takes 2 20s for a 10 They are now even
he then trades a 10 for ben's 20 Alan is now at +10$
then he takes a 10 Alan is now at +20
Clean.
If he traded a 10 for Bens 20 that would put Alan at +10 and then taking another 10 puts Alan at +20
@@ssgoku103 Good catch

@@joshpun5910 You really are going to make me count all those transaction aren't you? Okey here we go USB stick Price=20 Dollar. and Lets count Ben's Starting capital as 80 (since 100-20(USB price) was a legal no scam transaction). So 80+50-40-100+100-100+150-20+10+100-100-50+20-100+50-50+10-40+10+10-20-10 = -40. So Alan scammed BEN for 120 dollars. I think the math checks out.
"So then, I put one of the 20's in the register, for the USB, and the rest in my pocket, as a bonus, for protecting PlayTech from the scammer."
Little did Alan know, this was actually a reverse heist to give Playtech more money. Rowan suggested it to Ben at their last mediation meeting.
That acting of Ben is somewhat BRILLIANT in every little gesture. Epic stuff.
So, he lose $60 on the initial change but also lose bunch of other paper money that looks like it is worth more than $200. 😅

Ah man this was brilliant! I laughed so hard at the end! Good job :)
Love it. You guys are expanding your creativity wow!
It's nice to see Alan get a win. I'm happy for him.
Yes I love this! Ben is perfect at this!
Idk how embarrassing it is for ben just randomly winking
This is one of my favorites yall have done!
Ben is just outrageous
After going through the math: Yep, everything checks out. 20$ for the stick and some money switched
best one - and the sound desing fits soo good. Catches up with that Genre very well!
Thanks for making this monday better!
I wonder what would've happened if Rowan was there instead of Alan
ofc ben would pay for the plastic bag.
Sorry, no change. That's an $80 tip.
He would have given away the entire cash register
Now that's a direct 110$ pay raise to Alan's pocket.
Here's the breakdown:
Ben got $80 (change out of 100 for $20 USB) + 50 (he gave 40 and got 50 and he profited 10) = At this point, he has $120 of his own money +$10 profit = $130.
Note: It is important to note that he gave away his original $100 bill in exchange for the USB and received an $80 change. This is different from the $40 he gave away. The $40 turned into $50 ($10 profit) is not from the $80 change. Meaning he got $130 money during the scam.
Then the 5 twenties for the whole $100 bill. He got his original $100 back, but technically nothing happened. Ben still got $130.
@1:44 it starts to become tricky/complex/complicated but here's the breakdown of Ben's $130:
1) Alan took away Ben's $100 in exchange for $150 = Ben's total money is now $180.
2) Alan took Ben's $20 in exchange for $10 = Ben's total money is now $170.
3) Alan gave Ben $100 but took away his $50 in exchange for $20 = Ben's total money is now $240.
4) Alan took Ben's $100 in exchange for $50 = Ben's total money is now $190.
5) Alan immediately exchanged $50 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $150.
6) Alan exchanged 2 twenties meaning $40 for $10 = Ben's total money is now $120.
7) Alan took another $20 and exchanged it for $10 = Ben's total money is now $110
8)Lastly, Alan took $10 back = @2:14 Ben's total money is now $100
Summary/ TL;DR: Disregarding the $20 USB, During the scam, Ben had $130 ($120 money of his own but profited $10) but after his change raise scam, he only got $100 back. This means Alan pocketed $20 through an exchange scam while taking back the $10 that Ben initially stole through a $40 to $50 exchange. Alan is an absolute Mad Lad!
I love it when Alan outsmarts Ben.
I've been watching VLDL for so long that "Ah! Hello adventurer" is starting to feel like a hearty welcome home. I'm not just being hyperbolic, but... well, I guess I am. It's only been like 6 years, and I've never been to New Zealand, let alone met any of you.. But honestly, these days when I see a VLDL video pop up, I genuinely sigh with relief. It's so refreshing to know that all I have to deal with over the next 3-36min is Rowan being a model and/or threatening pay cuts. Or Bodger giving someone the middle finger as a gift. Or Johnny picking fights. Or Arthur quick-drawing everyone within a 3-mile radius while trying to administer first aid. Or an invader who was forged in the fires of the roly poly. Where do you find all these people?! Seriously, though, I appreciate all of you and your hard work. Rowan tends to take center stage, but Alan, Adam, Ben, Ellie, Britt, Hamish, Byron, John Callen have all delivered lines that gave me pause or made me laugh uncontrollably. In a perfect world, I'd get to fish with Baelin, help Greg find his wayward sheep, take a "smoke break" with Ellie, and save Adam's family (oops, wrong franchise) from the most accommodatingly slow fire in history. Then maybe Ben, Sunbro and I could go fight a boss together. Hamish and Adam can come, too, but they really gotta limit the holy novas. Britt, I'm still not over "I will never forget you..." And speaking of not forgetting things... wasn't it someone's birthday? Shame, I can't remember who. I'm immensely grateful for the years of humor, nerdiness, and often genuinely dramatic performances.
Ben when he finally realize he got scam: ...OUTRAGEOUS
_-Mission fail, we'll get 'em next time._
Rowan: The boss
Alan: The big brain
Adam: The coward (in a good way)
Ellie: Girl
Ben: The silent criminal
Hamish, the victim.
Byron: The forgotten
I think everyone is a bit sus watching them over the past year or two haha
It's always an interesting day when Ben enters the store 😂
The editing of this video is so on spot! :D
All cashiers everywhere (myself included) can only dream of being as epic as Alan😂
Ben is literally my favorite 😂
Outrageous...
@@----Jay---- this comment is symbolically my favorite!
@@----Jay---- but seriously, this is fantastic comment, dude
man this is awesome please keep doing these ben sketches they're insanely good no homo i love you ben
Ben's American accent sounds like Nicholas Cage
I need help with the math. Did Ben get his scam? Did Alan counter it well? Did Ben pay $20 for the USB in the end? OMG I need help
Haha same, it went so fast I am confused what happened in the end. They better did some kind of counter where we can see what goes to who.
Ben got scammed for about 60 dollars.
Ben paid for the USB and he got twenty in change. it is mean he lost 60 in cash.
Ben should have gotten 80$ change because he payed with a 100 but ended up with only 20$ instead
He originally gave 100, the price was 20, so he should’ve gotten 80 in change. But by the end of it, he holds 20 in change. In other words, Ben got counter-scammed into paying 80 in stead of 20.
Wow 11 seconds after upload
That suss head nod Ben gave us at the end is honestly making me think if I check the new videos I might end up with the wrong change…..ahhh stuff it they’re too good not to click!
Alan outsmarted him like my 100th time watching this
Did someone manage to keep up with the math? Did Alan just nullify it as an Honest chap? Or did he get more money out of Ben?
you don't nullify a scammer, you give him karma.
Love it when Alan wins🏆
Love how this clerk try to save face at the end while he didn't even realized he got hit
The prequel weve always wanted, Oceans 1.
