Years ago whilst paying for a pair of shoes a cashier opted to challenge me using the various Dollar coins. I told her I’d have Treasury on the line if she refused to take my monies. She called her Store Manager, who I could hear tell her in no uncertain words to take my monies. LOL
When I shop or tip I prefer to use cash and enjoy using the $2 bills. There are many waitstaff who have started to save the $2 because they simply like the way they look. I told them that’s a great idea because when you get to a point where you really need to get your piggy bank out you’ll have funds.
Years ago my husband used a Kennedy .50 piece and it took a McDonalds Manager to tell the drive-through cashier to take the money. This was not actually just years ago; it was actually decades. LOL
Still, amazing how so many folks cannot recognize legitimate monies.
I like when the cash register is broke, and they stand there looking at the change, that they don’t know how to count.
