LOL @ NotAl more than one of us gets a chuckle! Its the SC gift that keeps on giving!

[CorneliaMarieRocks]

and some SCs will expect you to go to the bank to accommodate them.
cos it's too hard for them to go, so the store employees have to be their personal bank-errand servants

aww HELL no!

thankfully, I never got anyone like that during my retail tenure but I guaran frigging tee you if I had they wouldn't have liked my answer which, for those curious, would've been 'NO! don't like it? you can KISS MY FAT ASS!!'

and that's my on the matter

Kid: Can you break my 20?
Me: Sure, if you buy something.
K: Uh...do you have anything for 25 cents??
Me: Nope.
K: *ends up rummaging around and buying a $1.50 soda*
Me: *gives him $18 in ones and 50 cents in nickels.
K: *stares at me*
Me: *smiles sweetly* Sorry, it's first thing in the morning, I did tell you I don't have a variety of change in my till...

I win!

Many years ago in college before cell phones my car would not start so I went to the common room to use the pay phone. The change machines were out of order so I asked the cashier at the campus snack bar if she could break a dollar. She said no so I bought a 25 cent bag of chips which I gave to her and used the 75 cents to call a tow truck.

I'm glad you weren't at my campus; I don't think the pay phones would take nickels.

Personally, I don't understand the need for people to have $100 bills other than to show off. I hate having even $50s. With debit cards, there's really no need to carry much cash, anyway.

I have hundreds when:
1) I just came back from vacation. I take some large bills on vacation and break them as needed so I’m not walking around with a wallet stuffed with smaller bills.
2) When I get a cash gift for a B-Day or Christmas it’s often a $50 or a $100.
3) When I am paying cash for a high ticket item or someone is buying a high price item from me in cash I will often use or receive large bills.

I usually break large bills at the supermarket but I ask the cashier first and if they don’t have a drawer stuffed with $20’s waiting for a manager to do a pick up then I pay with a debit card.

Can I have your family & friends? Mine must be cheapskates, I've never in my life gotten that much as a gift from anyone

I hate with a passion beyond words when people pay with a $50 or $100 bill for a small purchase and have the gall to tell me "I just got it from the bank!!" with a shit eating grin. Every bank I've dealt with has ALWAYS asked me what denomination I want my cash in. If you don't want big bill, just ask for small ones. Why is that so hard?

My bank will ask me if large bills are OK if I withdraw a large amount of money in cash, like I did a couple of weeks ago before I went on vacation. If the answer is yes, then I take them, if not I ask for 20's. Going on vacay, I prefer $50's because they are easier to carry around, and I planned to exchange them for local currency when I got at my destination anyway.

When I used to work at a local bank we had a cop who would come in to cash his paycheck and always wanted it in 50s.

It's fairly normal to get €50 notes (worth about $60 at the moment, used to be rather more) from a bank withdrawal over here, if you're withdrawing enough at once. However, I think there are also a lot of ATMs stocked only with €20 notes.

The trick of course is that if you're withdrawing that much at a time here, you're usually about to buy something big enough that making change for it is easy.
