I'm so special. I have a large bill.

[Mildew]

Don't you hate assholes who decide to pay for a small priced item with a $50 or $100? Especially when they obviously think having a large bill makes them important.

The other day, two kids (no older than 13) walked into Starbucks and ordered a Frappucino. Ok, that'll be (something to the order of) $3. They put a $100 out in front of them, wide shit-eating grins on their faces, like they just stole it from someone and they want everyone to know. They were obviously thinking "We're so cool, we can pay for a small cup of coffee with a $100 bill. Damn, we rock"

I stared at them for about 20-30 seconds and said "...Do you have any smaller bills?"
They shook their heads no, all the while keeping their stupid grins on their faces.

I rolled my eyes at the kids and went to get the keys for my drop box so I could give them their $97 back. Of course, I took my sweet time, as there wasn't anyone behind them.

XD When people bring in big bills, I ususally just laugh in their face, and tell them its a convience store. We don't have the change.

Oh, how I wish I could do that. Really I do.

[chainedbarista]

i've also refused them; most of these idiots show up on a weekend, when we're low on change (inevitably, someone always forgets to get change when they go to the bank); i'm not going to lose several sales over one, because i broke their large bill on a piddling purchacse. go get the change your damn self, idiot; if you leave and don't return, i won't miss you, and neither will my till!

[Necromancer]

I've gotten 6 of those 100's in one hour

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

I was especially fond of those wonderful customers who would buy less than $5 of stuff and whip out that $100 FIRST THING IN THE MORNING making it necessary for yet another trip to the bank for change right off the bat.
This happened a lot at the Dollar Tree.

Or the exact opposite where someone would come in right at opening with a huge cash return. Yeah, that's gonna happen. How 'bout coming back when we've actually made a few bucks, what say?

[greensinestro]

While you were at it, did you think about smacking those stupid grins off their faces?

[powerboy]

My boss wants us to accept $100's & $50's, but whenever someone comes up to me with one, I tell them that I cannot accept anything over $20. Unless I did happen to have the change in my til. But since the idiot owners doesn't want anything lower then 15 bucks in all the time They said that everyone is going to be using a CC, and that is why we don't have much cash in the til....Everyone is paying cash, and only 2 people are used a CC.

Yeah, sure, it was probably from his grandma's birthday card

[Sofar]

Listen, I work a minimum wage job part time, but even I could probably scrounge up a hundred dollars, go to the bank and exchange it for a hundred dollar bill. I don't know why these people think it makes them so impressive. And when does anyone really need a hundred dollar bill these days? Use a check card.

Fortunately, because we have no safe we always have plenty of twenties in the drawer.

[DesignFox]

I work in the mall, and luckily, we usually have enough traffic that I can break big bills....but I'm a dick about it. If someone hands me 100 on a small purchase- so long as I have 50s in the till, guess what bills they get back?

[ArenaBoy]

When I am a cashier for whatever event is taking place, we are given a bank of $100 for us to hold on hand. I've had moments where after I've had two cars and I have $40 in $20s my bank is usually reduced to to nothing more than $30. I've actually had times where I would get nothing but $50s and $100s in a 30 minute timespan.
I also agree with the OP on the grinning like an idiot part, when I was working a WNBA game the first guy I get pulls in. His car is a black Escalade, tinted windows, leather seats, and the works. I tell him the parking fee and the first thing he does with that annoying grin is whip out a $100. Through the whole ordeal of me counting his change he's still got that grin. A $100 is never going to impress me at all, like Sofar said anyone can go to the bank and get one.

Oh, how I wish.

[Maevis]

Gah, I hate $100 bills.

But what I hated the most was when someone would come in to rent a movie, and I would tell them they had say, $5 or $10 in late fees and they would whine and simper on and on about how broke they were and they couldn't afford it, and blah blah blah, and I would be like, "fine, I'll just put a note on the account that you will take care of it on your next visit" and then they would pull out thier wallet and want to pay with a hundred dollar bill.

Sure, that may be all they have for the next month, what do I know? But, c'mon...

[Myra]

Oh man. This reminds me of this douche I had to deal with at Claire's. He was the FIRST customer of the day. His daughter picks out like eight bucks worth of stuff. He goes to pay for it, and hands me this $100. Now, it's a Saturday, I'll be the only keyholder in the store, so I cannot leave. The change I got, has to last me til Monday. So I do what I normally do in this situation, I politely apologize, but say I do not have the change for a hundred. I then kindly tell him the St. Louis Bread Co. next door does, as I get change from them often on weekends. Most folks will go grab a couple drinks or head to the bank downstairs and have no issue with it.

But of course, I wouldn't have called him a douche if he was nice like everyone else.

"I don't believe you don't have the change. Just take the bill. I need it broken so I can give her her allowance."

"Sir, you are my FIRST customer of the day. If you remember me unlocking the gate as you and your daughter walked up. I won't be able to make it to the bank today, and obviously the bank will be closed tomorrow. I apologize for the inconvinience, but really, I cannot break it."

"I don't want anything from the Bread Company. Just take it and give me my change."

"Sir, they are the ONLY store in the mall that's been open longer than ten minutes. They're the only ones besides the bank that can change that. If you are a Bank Name customer..."

"NEVERMIND if you just want to be stubborn!" he yells, then leaves. The daughter is whining behind him. Half hour later, he comes back. She's holding a St. Louis Bread Co. soda cup, and he has a smaller bill to pay with. Wow, was that so hard?
