Oh I hate it when Walmart can't break my million dollar bills. :-[



Considering the volume of cheap, counterfeit Chinese made goods that
they are probably selling they shouldn't
have had any problems dealing with the
$1 million note. (smile face here).

Oh, that'll work. "I'll just wait then". )


I'm reminded of those time safes at Seven Eleven that dispense $10 every
minute.

"I can make change, lady, but you'll have to wait 70 days."

And how would you handle a lunatic who insists it's real and refuses to
leave?


You tell her it ain't real, show her the wording that says it ain't
real and if she doesn't want to pay with real money, you can escort
her, kindly and gently, to the door.

Keeping in mind that she is likely unstable and agitated. Add in
that you are a large corporation that gets sued at the drop of a hat.


What's she going to sue over? "Honestly, yer honer, they should take
my play money - it's green and everything!" I wonder how far she'll
get with her lawyers, when she tries to pawn one off on them for the
fees.

Bless her if she really is retarded or something and truly doesn't
know better. But this smacks a little too much of Trample-me-Molly we
discussed a while back. Some people just need to be kicked out the
door on their backsides.

I work in a coin store. We sell novelty key-chains with tiny replica
notes inside (like 1/8th the normal note size). One day a woman came
into the store to try to buy gold coins with her miniature $1000 note.

It took us an hour and several clerks patiently explaining the
difference between reality and "just for fun" and why would would not
accept her "money." We even showed her the same keyrings in our
showcase with their $3.95 price tags. She left the store unconvinced,
claiming she had used them before in other stores without a problem.

People will do the darndest things because, perhaps, sometimes they
get away with it.

That's right, and that's what the police are for.

Let them decide if she needs a trip to the Ha Ha Hilton.

Suite? Not likely.

I'm just as happy we're in different area codes.
