Idiots at Best Buy and Baltimore police.

[caver]

I attend a certain convention every year. One of the vendors obtains stacks of $2 bills and uses them as change. When people use them in town, it reminds them that we are there spending money.

I know Best Buy employees are stupid but the Fing cops just take the cake.

[Utilizer]

Could have been worse. He could have tried paying with SB Anchovy Dollar coins.

I might have been tempted to employ some pointed comments as well had he done that! I refuse to accept those abominations in any circumstances!

When they redesigned the 100 bills years ago I got some at the bank on the first day of issue. I tried to spend it at a restaurant and they refused to take it.

I had others that were the old style and used one of those instead.

[GEC]

This original story is 8 years old, not that it was justified then.

[SkyDancer]

Did he have a dog?

[ConradofMontferrat]

The fact that the little nazi snitch called the cops should chill your soul.

I have bunches of 2s.

Now, just to stick my finger in the eyes of the ignorant, I’ll use them.

When the SHTF, I’ll drag the dumb SOBs into court, and they will learn an a## kickin lesson.

MAKE THEM CRY REAL TEARS. Its the ONLY way to make them see sense.

Oh, BTW, I pay tolls on the PA turnpike with PENNIES.

I just ignore the hand printed signs that say, NO PENNIES ALLOWED.

I remind the toll booth guy or gal, PENNIES ARE LEGAL TENDER, YOU ARE OBLIGED BY LAW TO ACCEPT THEM.

They retaliate by making me wait while they count them.

Oh, I’m not in that BIG a hurry!!

LOL.

You should see their faces. Now that’s PRICELESS.

Those morons working at Best Buy have a hard enough time when you pay them in cash at all. I remember when I bought my iPad, I started to hand the BB employee 9 $100 Bills. He looked at me with the most puzzled look, and he stood there like that for a few seconds before taking it, as if he’d never seen currency before.

[Rome2000]

We had a saying in NYC, “that’s as phony as a three dollar bill “

Good thing he didn’t try using one of those!

[null and void]

You’ve never seen a $2 bill? Why officer, I would have thought your mom would have brought home dozens of them!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Didn't this happen last year as well?

I have a feeling a deja moo. (The feeling I've seen this BS before)

[formosa]

The level of stupidity in this country has become more than sad. It is down right scary!

[cva66snipe]

About 25 years ago I worked as a night clerk in a all night walk in store. We kept a $2 bill at the bottom of the $1 stack in the till. We had the serial number recorded. If we got robbed and the perp was caught with the money we had the proof. We were smart enough to watch for things like someone coming in with rare coins, silver dollars, etc. Of course we took it as tender.

If the cops were not trained well enough to at least recognize legal tender then Baltimore PD has a very huge training problem. Best Buy's training program is a joke as well it seems. The manager should have known $2 bills are legal. It's his job to know. He just opened up Best Buy to a false arrest law suit.

[yarddog]

Doesn’t everyone remember a waitress in Kentucky accepting one of the fake George Bush $200 illegal immigrant bills.

[Joe Boucher]

As a kid my grandpa use to give me $2.00 bills all the time.
Told me he made them himself.

Good mmemories.

[Kartographer]

I think I will head to Best Buy with a pocket full of two’s and let them pay for all my Christmas!!!!

[VeniVidiVici]

Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”

What? What an idiot. He may as well have blamed George Bush.

This happened in 2005. Does anyone know the “rest of the story” as Paul Harvey used to say? Probably any settlement is hidden behind a non-disclosure agreement.

It’s pronounced Balt-more, the “I” is silent.
