Fresh fives

[Geek King]

I lost count of the number of customers who tried to stick a new bill in the changer— several times— and were amazed when I went over to assist them, and the first thing I did was crumple their bill up. Absolutely new bills are sometimes just a hair too long, or short, or something.

Or too slick, and will cause the gripper wheels to slip, making whatever kind of reader it has think the bill is printed funny. Ah, all the old tricks learned from my youth in the arcades, both as a player and employee.

I despise "fresh" bills.

They just don't feel right.

Gotta be a bit crumpled, ya know?

If my father gets brand new notes the first thing he does is screw them into a ball, it bugs the hell out of me, I'd rather have new ones than crumpled any time!

What a lazy weirdo! When I used to work a register, I always hated the people who expected us to give them change like a bank. Do people not understand that cashiers have a limited amount of change?

[RetailWorkhorse]

No no, you've got it wrong. We have an entire TREASURY under our tills. Think of Scrooge McDuck's money room. We're here to give out exactly the change the customer wants, down to the serial number. /sarcasm.

Why in the world would you go to a retail environment for fresh bills? Isn't it obvious those would most likely already have been handled?

I thought you said he chews on them the first time I read it. I really gotta stop speed reading at 3 am...

I hate receiving new bills. I hate how they stick together

O_o, he may be odd but not quite that odd!

And yet you're not even allowed to bathe your feet in it. No wonder retail workers tend to snap.

Yeah i hate that too. i had a customer complain that I gave her bills that were stuck together. She wanted 10x the value of the bills. They were two twentie, so that would've been $400. There's is just no pleasing SCs.

I'm confused: you had a customer seriously suggest that because you gave her two bills that stuck together, she was "entitled" to 10X their value?

Seriously? Really?

(Please tell me I misunderstood your post.)

I once had a woman demand the freshest fivers we had for birthday presents in cards. Naturally, she was proferring the scrattiest tenner going...

I remember this one guy who bought a $9.50 ticket with a $100 bill and then demanded that we give him his change in twenties. Unfortunately, the floor manager at the time had already done her drops so the bigest bills we could have given him would have been tens and fives, so he then has the balls to ask us for a refund. Why on earth would you skip a two hour movie just because you couldn't get twenties?!

I've heard of people collecting coins, but $5 bills? That's a new one to me!

I only have the $5 in my collection because it is a silver certificate, and it was given to me by my wife's aunt. She tried to spend it but the cashier pointed out its rarity and suggested she keep it.
