Is it a violation of the law to alter/fake a receipt as apparently has happened at Anita's in Ashburn?

Forgery?

IANAL, but I'm 100% sure of this:

It doesn't have anything to do with the receipt. It has to do with attempted fraud. It's like your name: you can call yourself Kim Kardashian or Tom Hanks; that's fine, and you don't even have to apply for a name change. It only matters if you try to defraud someone using one of those names, then you're breaking the law.

Similarly, I can do whatever I want with a receipt; it's when I try to use it to return something I never bought, or to do something else illegitimate, that I'm in trouble.

Make sense?

We had several cases like this at Arthur Treacher's in Fairfax. Our legal council advised us to press charges in a couple of the more malicious cases. In those cases, the defendant was sentenced to probation and was not allowed to partake of the amazing fish and chips for a period of 1 year.

Wrong. It is against the law. Try it and you will find yourself without fish and chips if you do it at Arthur TReacher's.

Collecting money under false pretenses is illegal. She is going down.

Y'all are missing the point. The cases where folks have been charged are because they tried to use an altered receipt to defraud. The crime is the attempt to defraud, not the alteration of the receipt.

Now, it does appear (if we can believe the reports) that the Ashburn case did involve an attempt to defraud. If so, then yes, the law was broken. But the alternation of the receipt still wasn't the actual crime.

It's fine. She's a nigger. Niggers can do anything they want because they are "oppressed".
