Yep, always amazed me. My Father in Law ran a sheet metal company for years, he said two months after tax season was like Christmas for him. His employees would get a big tax check go spend it all on things like TV's and guns. A month later when they are busted again, they pawned the items off. He would then go in an buy the pawn ticket for near nothing go claim the items and sell them for full price again. I told him he had quite a racquet going on and he just laughed, said it was like clock work every year.I owned a deli and my employees did the same thing. And they couldn't wait for their W-2 so they could go to one of those instant cash places and take the money and spend it on stupid shit. I'm talking about part-time employees who worked maybe 20 hours per week, making a little more then minimum wage. And they would get thousands back more than they paid in.
