Con artist

I think each and every one of us actually con people on a daily basis. I vaguely remember an interview at the beginning of class with Nase and Prof. Baldwin. They were talking about games and how Nase was playing a game with Prof. Baldwin.
Nase did not read the play we were supposed to read and Giselle exclaimed that Nase was good at playing the game with Prof. Baldwin because you couldn’t see it in his face and he didn’t seem nervous at all. In truth, Nase was good at the game and was in fact a good con artist.
In truth we all con people. For instance, in class we discussed how customers con people who work pink collar jobs. In reality this is a completely valid statement. I have had many experiences at my job-Whole Foods- in which people try to return products that are almost completely eaten and say that the food the purchased was expired or went bad. The thing that upsets me the most is that we actually give the customers their money back as if it is a reward for their cunning ways. So, do we really reward con artists in society?
