not many places like that will take a hundred, the most common of counterfeited bills.

$20 bills are the most common, since most people don't think to check them with a marker.

But to the OP, next time you are at the bank, just stash an extra $20 bill in the fold behind your credit cards. I usually do that just to make sure I always have some spare cash in case of an emergency.

But as others said, you should have had a debit/credit card with you. So you can always fall back to that.

As far as saying they might not have the change, thats bullshit. All restaurants can break a $100, even small convenience stores can. If he was talking about a concession stand or some kids lemonade stand sure whatever, but this is a restaurant.

I think it's more an issue of getting robbed. Fast food joints put a lot of money in the safe, but keep enough on hand for change usually. A hundo would fuck up their system pretty badly and be risky in case of a robbery to keep in the register until safe deposit time.
 
Restaurants drop $320 in $20-10-5-1-change demoninations per register open. Retail stores do $120 per register. Fast food and convience stores also have their own amounts but i forget what they are.

It's an exact formula of making sure you have enough money to make change through the day, reducing PNL at the end of the day, and being robbed. Pretty much everyone follows it from mom and pop to large chains. Hell, it comes with the instruction manuals when you purchase registers.
 
On a side note pertaining to going to a bank to exchange bills. I've had banks that I do not have an account at refuse to exchange bills. If this guy is out in the middle of nowhere chances are his bank is not going to exist in that area.

Speedway gas stations, around 85 minimum, and around 110 on a weekend. 7-11, around 75, 50 if in a shitty neighborhood with mostly 1s and 5s and change (cuz 7-11 just seem to be begging for robberies, wife worked at one down in florida before we met, place got held up 3 times in a week).

My wife currently works speedway, they once got a counterfeit 20$ in, they didn't catch it til after the guy left, so her manager was like fuck it and gave it to a customer later as part of their change cuz they didn't want to deal with it.
 
We had a huge influx of counterfeit 20's hit our area after the last nascar race apparently. The girls did a carwash for girlscouts and when they went to deposit the money they had 4 bad 20's.

Bank said they were getting them left and right.
 
Whiny customers like you make me facepalm when I'm waiting in line somewhere. She said she wasn't going to take it, so drive off or pull out a credit card - arguing like a little bitch isn't going to get you anywhere.

The markers are a sham. They do not work. All they do is detect starch.

Want to guess what happens if you pocket a hundo in a shirt you sent out to dry cleaning and asked for the "extra starchy" look?

We only started a shift with $50-100 in the register back when I worked at a couple fast food places and convenience stores about 15 years ago. It wasn't possible to make change for $100 on a $10 order much of the time.
 
hehe... in Germany, there is actually a law that states how much in what denomination you HAVE to accept.

Base rule: Money is money, accept it.

One example: 1cent coins - up to 5 Euro.

But then how will I pay the police my $260 ticket in pennies as a protest? Fuck that law.

Yep, in UK, it's around £3 I believe.
 
Ever notice that you rarely get a $10 dollar bill. It's like they print 4 of them each year. I'm pretty sure I get a $50 bill more often than I have a $10 in my wallet. Yet, I'll still get a $2 bill back as change from time to time. Odd.

(this is for U.S. residents only..i'm not talking about a 10 Rupee bill or Lira or other currency with animals and fruit on it)
