Uh oh. Someone’s having a counter fit…
Cold enough for ya?
I don’t believe in causality.
So, the counterfeit bills you see explode, set fire to buildings, and send people to the emergency room?
cool
I’m not good at colective reading.
<snort>
Seriously, what’s up with the new tens? Its’ like a normal ten dollar bill and a French frank got drunk and had a slow child.
Now, nobody enjoys a good laugh more than I do, except perhaps my wife, and some of her friends… oh yes, and Captain Johnson… come to think of it, most people enjoy a good laugh more than I do, but that’s besides the point!
Holy shit! :eek: That was my ACTUAL reaction when I saw the new bill.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD, WOLFIAN!!!
No but they could cost me my job.
It could be worse you could be a cashier trying to scan a UPC code that the scanner won’t read, and the customer says, “I guess it must be FREE!” :rolleyes:
Since when do I go to school to do this “homework” you speak of?
I think my dad is mad because most of my homework is now beyond his current knowledge base 
As a cashier? Still not topping my list of tragedies.
I’ll conceed, people are subjecting you to a stupid and trite joke. Guess how many times I’ve had freshmen tell me they’re going off to their rooms to shoot up heroin and do some coke off of hookers (I’m an RA). And then just this week?
Your definition of ‘sense of humor’ must be different from mine.
A françois?
If I really wanted to cause trouble for cashiers who use that stupid counterfeit pen, I would just spray my bills with starch. It would cause a false positive.
Rule 1. The Customer is always right. Well, maybe not always, but since without customers you wouldn’t even have this job, as far as cracking a old joke- then yes, they are right.
Rule 2. If you don’t think Rule #1 is valid, you have the wrong job. Quit now before you become bitter and humorless… oops, too late.
Rule 3. If this was a list, there’d be a Rule 3. 
I gotta try this, should be worth some amusing moments. hopefully not amusing enough to get me arrested.
Remember, coronation is not the same as casualty.
In Australia, the Supermarket Code Of Practice states that if an item scans at an incorrect price, the customer gets that item for free. If there are multiple examples of the same item (Say, three chocolate bars), the first is free and the rest are at the reduced price…
I hate customers at the best of times, but customers that crack lame jokes are a million times better than customers bitching at me about things out of my control. At least they’re trying to make my day a little better with a joke, or even an acknowledgement that I’m a human being and not a Servodroid 5000.
I have to admit I was puzzled the first time I saw people checking $20 and $50 notes with the detector pen when we visited the US. I asked the girl behind the counter what she was doing, and she explained she was checking to ensure the notes were genuine.
“Hey, if I was going to invest the time and resources into counterfeiting currency, don’t you think I’d be counterfeiting money I could use at home to pay bills with instead?” I asked her. She laughed and said she thought it was stupid, but her manager got upset if the “larger denomination” notes didn’t have the pen mark on them (Which begged the next question “Since when was $20 considered ‘Large Denomination’?”, but that wouldn’t have been a fair question to someone who was just doing their job).
I used to check watermarks on $50 and $100 notes in NZ (which were made out of the same sort of paper as the US notes, but with better security features), and on the few occaisons anyone asked what I was doing or if I thought the note was fake, I replied “No, I’m just admiring it, since I don’t earn enough to have any of my own”- which never failed to generate a hearty laugh from everyone in earshot.
So yeah, the OP might want to consider working somewhere without customers- or at least switching to Decaf. 
Same as in many States here, such as CA.
You would NOT pay bills with counterfiet cash, you’d be crazy to. Your bills have your identification on them. In fact, with cheap counterfeit cash, one of the most common ways of passing is at retail. Beware the dude who buys a cheap item with a large bill, or who is buying goods that can easily be resold.
