We had a couple of clowns in our store a few weeks ago. They picked out a $18.00 dollar frame and handed Mary a hundred dollar bill. It was well worn and crumpled. She called me out of the back, handed it to me and said she did not have the change for it. I looked in my wallet, and I didn't have the change either.
I told the fellow I would walk up to the corner and get the bill broken. He grabbed it out of my hand and said he would do it. They both left, got in their car and kept going.
Mary looked at me like I was nuts, she asked me why I did that. She said it was a counterfeit bill, that's why she handed it to me. I was in total la la land, didn't have a clue.
I, to my knowledge, have never been given fake money. It just does not seem to happen much in our industry. Heck, if I had had the change, I would have given it to the guy. Mary had plenty of change in the register. I guess I just don't have a suspicious mind. I completely blew that one.
How often has this happened to you?
