No more $50 notes please

[StanFlouride]

Less than 5 minutes and no customers later SC returns and buys a $4 drink with the other $50, not in the mood for an argument I do the sale

I'd have just gone into slow-mo mood, "Sorry, I have to call someone to change this." And then held onto their $50 while I took my time getting cash until they remembered that change they'd just received.

I hate the people hat think, hey..." I'm getting $60 from the bank, i get a $50 and a $10 so I look cool." Just get the $20's sheesh.

I usually get $40-60 in cash from the ATM when needed. Unless I know I will need large bills, very very rare, as long as it is the correct amount, I really don't care.

I just saw a rather interesting twist on this.

Was just in Starbucks, and the chap in front of me was telling everyone he'd just won the lottery. He had a stack of £50 notes in his wallet the width of my thumb. He handed over one of them to pay for a drink, and the girl behind the counter asked if he had anything smaller.

He looked down, reached into the tip jar and pulled out a fiver.

Just as everyone was doing a , he dropped the 50 into the jar. He paid with the 5 and told her to put the change in the tip jar.

I guess if you'd just won the lottery, you could afford to be generous.

Awesome.

I hope he didn't advertise the fact too much though...hate for the chavs to have got him.

I've related this story once before, but being too lazy to look it up, I'll tell it again.

One day at the wholesale club, I was working an opening shift on the Express register. A coworker (who worked an overnight shift that day, but has worked as a cashier before) comes through with a gallon of milk, which at the time was something like $3 or so. She hands me a $100 bill. She was my second customer of the day, and the first customer had paid with a credit card.

J2K: "Do you have something smaller? I can't break a hundred."
CW: "That's not my problem. Gimme my change."

She was copping an attitude about it. So I call a manager over to go into the cash office to break the $100 so I don't drain my till of all my $10 and $5 notes. I was irritated as hell that she-- who knew full well what a hassle it would be-- decided to be a hassle anyway.
