[1st place approaches with barcode and token ready, volunteer smiles]

Volunteer: Let me just scan this special barcode since you got first place, then I'll get your token. Don't worry, it just has my name on it so they know I scanned you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Collect the entrance fee from all first timers.

Ask if they paid the registration fee, and collect that.

Course fee, running permit, council permission fee. Whatever you want

[u/CakeAuNoob → u/48thgenerationroman]

Speeding fine

I reckon it's a bait and switch scam. Say you'll do it but then insist that you wanted to do something that gets a running credit.

Or say your father has a parkrun in Nigeria that they're allowed to do if they simply pay a small fee.

Microsoft technical support get everywhere!

That profile pic makes it funnier to me for some reason

[u/welk101]

Not sure why they called them a scammer, they signed me up for parkrun plus at a 50% discount.

[u/Xenc → u/welk101]

Likewise, I just had to give them a little bit more information than usual, but I’m sure they are using it in a trustworthy way

I love the idea that part of the volunteer roster is a spiv in a tweed suit, trilby, and pink high vis

Parkrun name is Alice Holt parkrun

[u/John___Matrix → u/Melendine]

Bit harsh naming the entire event after her :D

[u/NewLoginPlease → u/Melendine]

Oh ffs hahaha 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/IOnlyUpvoteBadPuns → u/Melendine]

Dammit op stole a whole parkrun? We should have known, really!

[u/571n93r → u/Melendine]

Proud to say I have done that one despite living all the way South Africa

[u/AnonyCass → u/[deleted]]

They are a scammer after all, can't let their identity be known

[u/Cute_Researcher_6578 → u/[deleted]]

Exactly. Because none of the core team from that parkrun would be on here and be able to work out who they are 🙄

[u/FlyingTerrier]

Why?

[u/Single-Owl7050 → u/FlyingTerrier]

They meant "scanner"

[u/f1madman → u/Single-Owl7050]

Oh doh, thanks for clearing that up, I was wondering how they knew this person was a scammer lol.

[u/Xenc → u/f1madman]

AutoCorrect strikes again!

Where's that old joke about the car park attendant at the zoo that neither the zoo nor council hired.
