Keep an Eye on Your Customers' Hands

Zane, programs:"I'm 17. I found this job on Craigslist, it's a pretty good gig. During the summer I work every day, and during the school year I do it when I can. I watch everyone walking by, and if I see them touch their wallet, that's a good clue they're going to buy something. Sometimes I get played, though, because it turns out they're just going for their ticket."
