Gen Z cashiers are infuriating their bosses when they take cash from customers.
According to reports young workers are deeming some bills counterfeit when they are in fact legitimate.
According to one boss of a frozen yogurt shop in Florida, teenage employees had to be told that the bills they had refused to accept because they were fake, were actually 'just old.'
Sam, 22, told Newsweek that the £10 and £5 notes that were confiscated at the store were 'pre-1999 as far as dating goes, so at least 25-30 years old.
'The $5 is even older, maybe from the 60s' the assistant manager explained.
Sam acknowledged that some of the confiscated bills were older than the employees themselves and that as a generation they are probably unused to handling cash.
'It's a digital world nowadays,' he told the publication.

And they can’t tell time on an analog clock.
A quote from the article.
Also, if a business has a device to transfer cash into a prepaid card, it can also refuse to accept cash. However, the device can’t charge a fee, can’t require a minimum deposit of more than $1, and the card can’t expire.

If there is an error, the error is not mine.
Your latest: “a device to transfer cash into a prepaid card”
Your first: “The loophole in the law is that the business can refuse cash if they have a device to accept pre-paid cards instead.”
“If there is an error, the error is not mine.”
Yes, the error was yours.
You first referred to “ a device to accept pre-paid cards” which is incorrect. Two different devices. One takes cash. One takes an electronic payment.
The error is not mine. I paraphrased the article.
I can have a business that refuses cash in Colorado, as long as I have a device that accepts pre-paid cards. The device does not have to be part of my business but a separate operation, just on site.
But go ahead and argue semantics, Mr. Aspergers.
AND WRONG
“I can have a business that refuses cash in Colorado, as long as I have a device that accepts pre-paid cards.”
That is not what you said earlier.
Yes it is what I said earlier.
Not wrong.
“But go ahead and argue semantics, Mr. Aspergers.”
Words have meaning. Devices have names. Laws have words. Laws name devices.
Is a device that accepts cash the same as a device that accepts a pre-paid cards?
Nope.
“as long as I have a device that accepts pre-paid cards.”
Can you quote the law on that? Nope.
I did make a mistake. My mistake was not writing a response a thousand pages long that included every conceivable variation of my response and then not submitting my statement to 1000 scholars to go over my statement, because somebody like you doesn’t have it in you to be flexible in thinking. If the statement is not exact, you’ll zero in on the inexactness and argue over it.
I already quoted an article that talked about this law.
As long as I have the ability to accept pre-paid cards, I don’t have to accept cash.
I will quote the article again, just so you can argue over a misplaced comma or something.
“Also, if a business has a device to transfer cash into a prepaid card, it can also refuse to accept cash. However, the device can’t charge a fee, can’t require a minimum deposit of more than $1, and the card can’t expire.”

I just have to have the device on site. It doesn’t have to be part of the business per se.
That is pretty cool!
That’s right. You’re arguing semantics at this point, which are useless arguements. The only way to avoid an arguement of semantics with somebody prone to creating arguements over semantics is to spend years of my life devoted to writing a response with every conceivable point that I can think of and then submitting my response to a committee to pour over my response and tear it to shreds so it can be re-written, so somebody like you has no basis for creating an arguement.
I’m not going to do that. If it makes your day to create an argument over semantics, go ahead. It’s your day.
Your first and your #44: a device that accepts pre-paid cards”
Your last and the law: a device to transfer cash into a prepaid card”
Two different devices.
“Use my debit card for everything.”
I have too many friends and family who’ve had their bank accounts messed up because of debit cards. We have them, but never use them. I know there’s a PIN attached to them but have no clue what it is.
For large purchases we use credit card; for small things and restaurants it’s only cash.
Only to the pedantic is it really different. Most people, since you are the only one making an issue of this, would not see a difference large enough to make an arguement out of it.
