David Hill posted an account of an ordeal on Facebook, explaining the unexpected chain of events he was met with when he wanted to spend some time with his buddies at an unnamed Texas restaurant. After deciding where to meet, Hill and his friends headed to a local eatery to enjoy some conversation and a few laughs. However, things would take a turn when it was time to pay the bill.
“Unknowingly, the $20 bill I had in my wallet had ‘Trump Lives Here’ written in permanent marker on the White House,” Hill explained. However, those three words were all it took for all hell to break loose with the employee, who was none too pleased to see what was written on the bill.
(Snip)
Before Hill could respond, the cashier piped up with a bold accusation. “This man is attempting to pass counterfeit currency which has been defaced, and I’m not accepting it,” he told the officer. Of course, the cop demanded to see the bill, but the cashier didn’t get the reaction that he had hoped for after the officer took a closer look at the money.

Deranged goof of a cashier. Bet his boss didn't appreciate it.
What a fag.
Biden should hire him.
No, wait.....
Good story.
Genius! I am putting “Trump lives here!” on all my 20s.
No name of the cafe
No manager involved
(I read the link)
ALL the 20's I passed during POTUS Trump's term were marked Trump Lives Here with arrow to the Whitehouse.
Libs are so easy to kid.
The customer was wrong. Plain and simple.
The bill was marked up and defaced.
Has nothing necessarily to do with Trump.
I can find a guy with this name in Amarillo, TX with a quick search.
I tried to prompt for a reaction with my marked 20's...Just poker faces if anything.
Though I did not try this in S Dallas (Texas y'all).
“Genius! I am putting “Trump lives here!” on all my 20s.”
I just did that to the five 20s in my wallet. I will use them tomorrow when I go for lunch near the ultra-liberal, liberal arts college in my town. I have no doubt that Barbara f/k/a Bob at the the coffee joint will freak-out, and perhaps even dash into moving traffic. Or maybe I will go to the tofu bar where Obama’s photo still hangs center on the wall and the owner has wet dreams from merely hearing the word “marxist” or communist.”
“ The customer was wrong. Plain and simple.

You just can’t let it go can you? You posted your BS misinformation on the other thread on this subject. As the cop said, there are millions of bills floating around with writing on them. It was valid. You are full of crap.
According to U.S. code 18 U.S. Code § 333, it’s technically only illegal to deface money to the point that it is “rendered unusable.” Since this was only written on and the bill could still do its job, it was legal tender, meaning that a cashier would have to take it.
Bank personal write on all sorts of dollar bills. Working in a store my grandma would write on the top bill in each stack to keep track of it.
Please find name of restaurant and town.

What exactly was the customer wrong about? The bill may very well have been ‘defaced’, that doesn’t make it illegal to spend, or counterfeit.
“The customer was wrong. Plain and simple.

Wrong, did you read it? The codified statute is clear. I have taken bills that were ripped in half and taped back together. As long as both halves have matching serial numbers the bank would exchange it for new or take it as deposit with no problem. It is then exchanged to the treasury for destruction. I was a common situation back when cash was king.
It is virtually impossible to read that comment without imagining a lisp.
That said, I'm not sure I believe this story really happened.
