Show posts MenuQuoteThe following is a true story. It amused the hell out of me while it was happening.TL;DR These guys don't know about $2 bills and think that its counterfeit.
On my way home, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my wallet is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. So I went to order something that's $2 or under.
Me: Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito to go, please.
Server: Is that it?
Me: Yup.
Server: That'll be $1.04 please.
I open up my wallet and give him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and...
Server: Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back.
He goes to talk to the manager. The following conversation occurs between the two of them.
Server: Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?
Manager: No. A what?
Server: A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me.
Manager: Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2 bill.
Server: Yeah, though so.
He comes back to me and says:
Server; We don't take these. Do you have anything else?
Me: Just this $50. You don't take $2 bills? Why?
Server: I don't know.
Me: See right here where it says 'legal tender'?
Server: Yes.
Me: So, shouldn't you take it?
Server: Well, hang on a sec.
He goes back to the manager.
Server: He says I have to take it.
Manager. Doesn't he have anything else?
Server: Yeah, a $50. I'll take it from him and you can ope the safe to give him change.
Manager: I'M NOT OPENING THE SAFE WITH HIM IN HERE.
Server: What should I do?
Manager: tell him to come back when he has REAL money.
Server: I can't tell him that, you tell him.
Manager: Just tell him.
Server: No way. This is weird. I'm going in back.
The manager approaches me and says:
Manager: "Sorry. We don't take big bills at this time of night. [Its was 8pm and the store was in an indoor, well lit mall with a 100 other stores.]
Me: Well, here's a two.
Manager: We don't take those, either.
Me: Why the hell not?
Manager: I think you know why.
Me: No, really, tell me why.
Manager: Please leave before I call security.
Me; Excuse me?
Manager: Please leave before I call security.
Me: Why the hell for?
Manager: Please sir.
Me: Uh, go ahead and call them.
Manager: Would you just please leave?
Me: No.
Manager: Have it your way.
Me: Isn't that Burger King?
Security comes in.
Security: Yeah Mike, what's going on?
Manager: this guy is trying to give me some... funny money.
Security: really? What?
Manager: Get this: a two dollar bill.
Security: Why would he counterfeit a $2?
Manager: I don't know. He's kinda weird. All he has is the $2 and a $50.
Security: So the $50 is a fake?
Manager: No, the $2 is.
Security: Why would he fake a $2?
Manager: I don't know. Can you talk to him and get him out of here?
Security walks to me and says:
Security: Mike tells me you're trying to fake money.
Me: Uh, no?
Security: Lemme see 'em.
Me: Why?
Security: you want me to get the cops in here?
Me: I'm just trying to buy a burrito with this $2 bill.
I show him the bill. He takes it and flips it over a couple times and asks:
Security: Mike, what's wrong with this bill?
Manager: It's fake.
Security: It doesn't look fake to me.
Manager. But it's a $2 bill.
Security: Really?
Manager: well, there's no such thing.
The security guard and I looked at him as if he was an idiot and not only did I get a burrito, I got a small drink and those cinnamon things for free. Makes me wanna get a stack of $2 bills and get a lot of free stuff.
