    Pesos Con Dollars.

    Once again I'm sick as as a dog with another cold...but it was fun yesterday telling customers I have H1N1 and watching them back off or take their purchases by the fingertips or just at me. Heeheehee.

    Scruffy woman comes up to my register and has a cell phone minute card. She slaps it on the counter. I ring it in and tell her her total.

    "Do you accept singles?" </bitchy tone>

    I hesitate a second because my till's already full up with ones. But I say sure.

    "OH, so NOW you accept CURRENCY? As opposed to what? PESOS?!?!?" </end super bitch tone>

    I say nothing.

    She counts out nice ones and slaps them down. I count them through and say I'm a dollar short.

    "WELL, I counted those TWICE!!!"

    "One, Two, Three..." Going through them again, right in front of her.

    "Fuck, you know what, fine. HERE!!!" *slaps down another dollar and huffs off*.

    There's a lady from <America's Bank Currently Dropping A Direction Of The Compass From It's Name> behind her and I say, "What is HER problem?"

    Lady says, "Yeah I get those too. They have the gall to say I'm rude when I'm trying to help them."

    Also, apparently said lady reads this site every so often, so Hi!

    Who what now? Why would she assume you don't take cash?

      As I said, I hesitated before I said yes I'll take her singles. But it's still a very random comment.

            Out of curiosity does your store not accept 50s or 100s? If that's the case she might have been told no on those at one point and is being snide about the singles. Bitchy either way, you take what you take.

              Here in my neck of the woods, it's chickens and produce.

              Personally I think that SC just needed a good piece . . .

                i'm thinking valium; there's a bit of tension and other that sex may not cure.

                  We accept 50's and 100's...kinda have to. But either way, she was a jerk.

                      "No, unfortunately the company has barred me from accepting this thing you call "currency". However I will accept the following: Souls, Japanese Candy, and anything related to Shin Megami Tensi. Anime is also acceptable....but so help you if it's dubbed."

                        Thinking back on this, pesos ARE currency. Just not American.

                          Maybe the wad of singles she brought in to pay with the last time was still oily from her, um, pole routine and they weren't accepted.

                            Well, in the US you can still pay taxes 'in kind' which means if you raise goats, you can pay your taxes in goats/goats milk/goat cheese, bee keepers can pay in honey.

                            I want a small llama herd so I can pay in llamas =)

                            It is an old practice dating back to subsistance farming, where you raised pretty much everything you needed and didn't have an outside job for cash money - got to love the barter economy of our past =)

                              So that means I can pay in chickens/eggs/meat if I raise chickens or zucchini (aubergine)/tomatoes/okra/carrots if I raise vegetables? Sweet!

                              I can just imagine the scene at the tax office if someone does do that, though.

                              "Here's a basket of vegetables."
                              "Um, we don't accept that."
                              "Yes you do! The US accepts taxes in kind, which means these vegetables are legal tender!"
                              "Um, no. We accept cash, credit, debit, money order..."
                              "I'm gonna call the police and report you for flouting federal law! *insert SC stomping around in a huff here*
