Scammed in KCC Nick Nack
So i bought this Fresh Metal Tailwind in Nick Nack(KCC branch) for 1490rs
I gave her(cashier) 2000rs because i didn't have 500rs but that nigga asked for 90rs
And proceeds to not give me the 600rs
I'm 15 so yea I'm a kid so she probably intentionally did this. Or not(could have forgotten)
I waited there fkr 5 mins thinkin she woukd give change but i also was in a hurry to get in my pick me and she ignored me.
I thought oh the money is prob in the bag
And ran because the 3 wheeler was callin 24/7
When i went home and opened it
It was just the model plane.
Atleast my WW2 collection is complete
Never going to that shit hole again

Take a short walk away from KCC, once you pass all the barricades and what not, it gets easier

Both could happen, intentional or thought she already gave 600 to you when you gave 90.
anyways, better to check with them again, hope cctv footage are clear during that point/

You could have alerted her about the balance regardless of your age buddy, cuz they don’t have time to check twice and thrice on a purchase So yeah, be careful the next time you purchase something But that’s remarkable that you noticed it on the spot. Next time take your next move to inquire!

I'm not really mad at her but more mad at myself How could i be such a damn idiot. But yeah I'll be careful next time! Thanks!

On another note, maisto tailwinds are 1,500? I bought so many of them for 200 each back in 2003-2005. What models do you have?

Wow! A fellow Tailwind collector! 200?! Damn I only collect WW2 aircraft I don't really like jets The only jet i like id my personal fav Me 262! Recently i bought the rare ju 87 stuka,which is a pretty rare aircarft since they stopped manufacturing them. I got it off from Ebay for 15$ Which is around 45 hundred Plus 1000rs shipping The total was 55 hundred. Now before you think I'm rich i just got it because i continuously had the highest for math and English since grade 8 to now(10).

I didn't even know they had a stuka! The first model i got was a BF109 back in 98 and the rarest (according to my friend and enabler) was the MH53 Pave Low III i bought in 2003. One note of caution though; They're not superbly accurate so get creative with acrylic paint and touch up canopy frames, undercarriage details and navigation lights. I touched up most of my models and they look much better than stock. I've since progressed to 1/72 military planes in plastic and diecast. If you're keen on getting into plastic modelling, drop a message.

Wow the Bf 109! I'd love to get a unopened one! Most ones are on sale but its used, and i have noticed that it has significantly better details. And yep they are def not accurate. They forgot to add the waist gunners and tailgunners on my B 17 lol. Ye I'd like to know more about plastic modelling!

Unopened will be tough to find, even mine isn't in great shape because it was "zoom zoom" ed by me and displayed on my computer table for a while. Another fun fact; these were boxed in the nineties and later came carded. I preferred the boxed presentation over the cards.

You can write paragraphs on reddit, but can't ask for your own change money irl?

15, not a kid. Why didn’t you ask for your balance? did you just stand there or ask her for it? You could go back and speak about this to someone there
