Not an ideal situation, but have you ever seen $1800 in 20's?

Yes, and its not even a full banded pack (100).. In fact, I held twice my entire college tuition in twenties, in one hand, on more than one occasion. Two thousand dollars to a bundle, five bundles to a brick, two bricks to the layer, three layers plus loose bundles. Over Thirty thousand dollars that fit in one hand. Nothing more depressing than realizing people spent more than your college tuition buying nachos in one day. In just twenties.

On another note, you can ask the bank to change a few hundreds for lower denominations, then come back later as needed. No rule saying you need to swap it all out at once.

My ex refuses to get a bank account, so he used to pay his child support (before I had his wages garnished) in $100 bills. Big pain in the butt for me, because I'd have to go into a bank to get it broken into something usable.

[Andara Bledin]

That's annoying. I think I'd have made him get a money order or cashier's check "for the protection of both parties." I'm ornery like that, tho.

The worst part is, many of the people who try to pay in hundreds don't NEED to -- I have seen many a story here where, upon being told that the store can't break them, the cursetomer whips out a wallet full of tens and twenties. I really would like to know who they thought they were gonna impress at a game store or fast food joint >_< Having worked at both, WE DON'T CARE. Get your damn [product] and GTFO.

re the nintendo image -- there's an animated GIF of it (or many of them ) out there, too ^_^

...have you ever seen $1800 in 20's?

Yes.

My bar can get REALLY busy during certain times of year or special events, and at the end of the night, we'll certainly have a shitload of cash. And I'm not just talking about the bartenders with drawers...when I was serving there, there were times when I would turn in that amount or close to it, most of it in twenties. Think about it....that shit was in my pocket! (In my bar, servers carry their own banks.)

4. Finally, Hold it up to the light - Look for the security strip AND the watermark to the right of the president's face.

Note, #4 sometimes offends customers or brings on the annoying "HUR DUR I JUST PRITNED IT THIS MORNING!" line. Don't worry, fuck em', you're doing the right thing.

I posted a story recently about a customer getting offended I follows my store's policy and checked a $50 in the light.

[Jester]

Hell, I have people get offended when I obey the law by checking their ID's or insisting that they have valid ID's when they are purchasing alcohol.

Actual conversation from a couple of weeks ago, when a Danish man and his two sons walked in and ordered beer. The man and the one son had ID, but the younger one did not. The man was polite enough, but the following amusing conversation ensued...

DANISH MAN: "In Denmark, if you are with your parents, you can drink."
JESTER: "Welcome to Florida."

DANISH MAN: "In Denmark, if you are with your parents, you can drink."
JESTER: "Welcome to Florida."

That's a lie. If you are under 18 you aren't allowed to drink alcohol in a bar or buy it at a store. The bar is supposed to ask for ID here too.
If your parents want to get you drunk, they have to do it at home.

[Jester]

Mikkel, I wouldn't know, having never been to Denmark, or within several thousand miles of the place.

I DO, however, know that in many countries, and even in a few States, that that is the reality....if you are under the legal age but with your parents, you are allowed to drink. Of course, at least in Texas, restaurants have the right to refuse that particular rule. Don't ask me...I only worked a few days in Texas, so I can't comment on it. (I was merely passing through.)

In Florida, no one is allowed to give anyone under the age of 21 alcohol for any reason whatsoever. Technically speaking, if a legally-aged adult gives a beer to a 20 year old in the privacy of their own home, it is a criminal act.

Yeah, my nieces have had drinks at my apartment. Ask me if I care.

[Eisa]

You hardened criminal, you.

My friend in UT let me have alcohol when I was 20...after I'd helped her move apartments. And it was just us. And then the next time I went down there for Thanksgiving break and finished my Nano. I can't write when I've had alcohol, I'm too busy giggling my ass off...
