Reminds me of the lil punk-type kid who tried to ride the bus for free by saying "I only gots large bills." Bus driver pointed out the grocery store (with a money services counter) right by the bus stop and said "you can get change there, the next bus will be along in 20 minutes." He wasn't too pleased. She didn't care.

I absolutely cannot stand 'high rollers'. We get a lot of them at my store who try to buy a 50 cent bag of chips and pay with $100 and we always shoot them down. When they get mad we point out that our store is sandwiched in between TWO banks

Quoth CyberLurch View PostHe'll be fortunate if he isn't killed when it does.
But back to the $100 thing. For years, my grandmother always had a hundred in her wallet. It was easier than writing out a check for groceries. The only time she had more than that, was around Christmas--she'd give all of her grandchildren (10 of us) $100.
Then there's the time I was having some porch railings installed. It was either pay $600 in cash, or $800 by check. Naturally, I chose the cheap option. But, because the bank was closed at the time, I had no choice but to use the ATM. Putting a wad of $20s into my wallet soon draw the attention of one of the scumbags near the office. He tried to follow me back to work, before an oncoming police car made him go the other way. I could have been robbed in broad daylight Since then, I rarely carry more than $20 in cash.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Quoth AccountingDrone View PostI did that once, walked in with $20 000 in cash split between both BDU leg pockets. Place had a habit of selling cars to military by 'bargaining down' but really slamming them on the interest because they did the financing themself. If you didn't have to consider the interest on the loan, the prices were probably 10% lower than normal car deals. SO I did the bargain and inquire about a loan thing so I got the price as low as I could get it, then when we wrote the contract for the sale I got the price locked in, then he whipped out the loan form and I whipped out the cash and told him I decided I didn't want a loan *evil giggle* Sucked to be him =)"Sigh, I'm going to Hell.....but I'm going with a smile on my face." -- Gravekeeper

Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.
