Surprisingly, she gets arrested!
You’d think a woman who was a millionaire three times over would, at the very least, start shopping at Target. I wonder how she thought the cashier was going to be able to give her change. I guess that’s something little people–non-millionaire people–are concerned about.
And people think Wal*Mart associates are morons.
I have no comment for this other than ‘haw haw’!
The full story can be found here.
Yea, I read that too. People have pulled lame scams before but this is lame beyond lame! You don’t suppose the (ahem) “con artist” is … er … mentally challenged? I mean, seriously … this is along the lines of trying to use Monopoly money!
“Yes, Your Honor, my client would like to plead ‘Not Guilty’ on grounds of mind-boggling stupidity.”
I can’t tell from the story whether she is extraordinarily stupid or she thought Wal-Mart clerks are. Probably a little of both.
Going by her picture, I’d say she comes from a long line of inbreeders. She probably got the bill from her cousin/brother/husband as payment for the coon dawg washing she did last weekend. 
I wonder if she received these bills in payment for something and thought they were real. Is anyone really that naive?
Nice picture.
Am I the only one who finds this really sad?
Well, it worked for Henry Adams. Maybe she thought it would work for her too.
Realistically, you have to go with “mind-bogglying stupid”. Even if the clerk thought it was a real bill, there wouldn’t be enough money in the store to generate change.

Bet that was always going to be a loooong trip
Yep.

First post to the SDMB!
I saw this article and had to comment. Except all that came to mind when I read it was a few strangled sounds of disbelief that someone could be THAT stupid.
But then I stop to reflect on all the customers I have had in retail and customer service and it becomes much more believeable.
welcome aboard 
Nope. That woman is obviously so far gone, she actually thought those bills were real? Seriously, that IS sad.
believable even.
Thanks, APOC After lurking for months, I decided to sign up.
Glad to have you, tangochick. Stick around, you’ll really like it here. There’s a great mix of people on these boards.
“Can someone please help me carry my change out to the car?”
Who’s picture was on it?
Nixon?
Bill Gates.
No, you are not the only one.
Thanks, htns. It’s nice to find a place to get away from the inane parts of life.
I’d love to see someone bring ME a million dollar bill. As a teller I’ve seen counterfeit 20’s and 50’s and 100’s. Some of them you wonder how they even got into circulation they’re so obvious!
