Paying With A Hundred Dollar Bill? Prepare To Fill Out A Form

[bobbinville]

folks, you are amazing. I learn each time I am able to visit here.
Yesterday I bought gas for my car. i have taken to paying in cash, lawful money, for several reasons,but mostly
because I am given a 5 cent per gallon discount for said cash.

While my small car doesn't take all that much, the $100 bill i used to pay really threw the attendant a curve.
They clearly state they don't accept checks, so it was that or nothing.

Glad Walter hadn't made been there to voice the knowledge regarding making change.

I had never been told that before.

Its special to have a place where I can be pretty much assured I will learn something new with each visit.

I've asked some stores why they don't do this; and they say that they are concerned about losses due to counterfeiting -- color printers are getting better and better. I've seen instances where someone bleached out a $5 bill and then printed a $100 over it -- and those fancy counterfeit detector pens often don't work, because they react to the paper and indicate that the bill is genuine. Of course, that's an incentive to do as counterfeiters do in Canada, where the $20 bill is the most counterfeited note.
