[Chode]

and they actually thought the DG could break a $1MM bill...

the mind boggles

[joshua c]

if stupid was a crime...

[HighSierra5]

Whatever works.

The Golden Ticket. Onto Wonka.

“Sure, we can break a $1 million bill, but we’ll have to give you your change in pennies, plus four rolls of nickels.”

[dfwgator]

Floyd should have tried this instead of just $20.

I was asking for any half dollars in the till during the Great Recession. I could spot silver ones pretty easily. Kid working the register took out a Franklin half, gave it a good look and said “That’s a funny color.”

Stupidity cuts across all races and classes.

When Malcolm is flabbergasted, you know it’s bad.

[Wiser now]

Sounds like the cashier could have taken the bill and given her change for $100 and she wouldn’t have known the difference. But the attempted theft was OK, because they were making “care packages for the homeless”.
How can anyone be arrested for intended philanthropy? LOL

[Osage Orange]

Yep...old joke. But instructive...

[larrytown]

Guessing they weren’t purchasing toothpaste...

[Blue Highway]

It’s the Amish again... Definitely the Amish!!!

[adorno]

Well, a million dollars now isn’t worth what it was 50 years ago, and the million dollar bill should have been enough to purchase some candy and toilet paper and milk; not much else.

[SMARTY]

Is she dating Hunter?

[EandH Dad]

Memphis is the skid mark in the underwear of Tennessee.

[Kickaha]

From his stash?

[T.B. Yoits]

What's not funny about this situation is that someday in the not too distant future, the U.S. 1 million dollar bill will be in circulation due to the overprinting of U.S. fiat dollars.

Just look at Zimbabwe and their $100,000,000,000,000 note. Yes, that's One Hundred Trillion, and it was in circulation in 2008. With it you could buy a loaf of bread.

Making change from one register at the Dollar General might have been a problem.

DG couldn’t make change for a million dollar bill if they emptied out the registers of every store in Tennessee. What was the lady attempting to purchase, a pack of chewing gum?
