We take 100's typically because we have the lottery and a lot of people paying with twenties for the lottery. So if we can break the hundred, we break the hundred. However, it's still annoying when we get wiped out of twenties and then we have to turn away the person who was lucky enough to win a hundred/two hundred on a scratch ticket because someone couldn't bother to go to the bank that's almost right next door.

I can't help you there. At my bro's office, someone often leaves the central heat/air on overnight when nobody is there...And of course, it's always "somebody else" that did so --

Same concept . . . does me no good, as I'm usually coming in around 6 a.m (5 am. on Wednesdays) and the night crew I hardly ever see (add to the fact that most people at my store work flexible shifts) so it just adds to the frustration.

And I can tell it was used after I leave b/c I've gotten into the habit of making sure it's turned off when I leave around 3 in the afternoons . . . so you know somebody went back there and made a pot later in the day.

One of these days I'm going to show up to see fire trucks in the parking lot b/c somebody did a Randall and left the damn thing on all night long again . . .

Can you put up a sign that says you don't take $100's?

Many stores (especially those that do NOT deal in lotteries) have signs up saying that they are not allowed to accept anything larger than a $20 bill. Certain SC's seem to take this as a challenge >_>

Now if I could teach my co-irkers to turn OFF the coffeemaker in the breakroom so it's not on overnight . . .

At the last place I worked, it wasn't just the coffee maker people wouldn't remember to turn off. I saw one guy making a pizza in the toaster oven when I was getting ready to leave on a Friday afternoon. It only had a timer for toasting, not for baking, and wouldn't shut off on its own if baking. You had to turn the temperature knob to "OFF." I came in on Monday morning to find a note from the cleaning company saying that when they came in on Sunday, the oven had been left on. Basically, we had a freaking programmer at a tech company who couldn't work a toaster oven properly.

They do that coffee crap where I work too.

Try this one.
Someone wants a 60 cent item and only has a $100 at 2 am in the morning.
FU even if I did have the money to break it no way at that hour. What are you going to do? Go find 60 cents then come back.

Oh yeah past sunset on to morning? No way we have the money to break a big bill. If we get up to that much in the till we automatically drop it into the safe to not have that much money.

It's a way to keep the cashiers safe because we broadcast it all over that we do NOT keep a lot of money in the tills. Robbers are less likely to hit the place when they know it's not worth it.

We only break hundreds when we have the twenties in the till to do it. We refuse if we don't have at least $60 (in twenties) if they buy more than $10 of stuff, or at least $80 (in twenties) if they buy less than $10.

Boss doesn't want us to feel forced to empty out our lower dollar amounts just for a $2.00 purchase.

AW - I can also see it as a safety issue, which they do seem to cover by broadcasting the fact that you don't keep much in the tills...I can see a robber going up to a register and saying "Hey, if I buy this, can you break a hundred?" - Cashier: "Sure" - Robber pulls out a gun and smiles "Good..."
