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.

Right, which can be separate from the business itself. I don’t need to own the machine even, if I am renting from somebody who owns the machine. I just have to have the ability for people to transfer their cash to a pre-paid card.
Nothing about the pre-paid card has to have to do anything with my business itself.
The nice thing about such pre-paid cards is I can make those cards only valid at my business. So, whatever you put on there, even if you are only spending a nickel at a time, the entire profit goes to the business. You can’t take that card anywhere else.
“Only to the pedantic is it really different.”
Stop digging ...
I’m pointing out the obvious. You’re a pedantic person without the ability to stretch words beyond their literal meaning. Those who communicate with you must be exact in their wording, otherwise you’ll focus on any inexactness that you find and you’ll create a never ending arguement over it.
“I just have to have the ability for people to transfer their cash to a pre-paid card.”
Yes. You have to have the ability for them to bring in cash for their purchase.
There are special pens that make a colored mark when drawn across bad bills.
To a machine that can issue a pre-paid card, that does not have to be part of the business. It just has to be onsite.
I can refuse cash in that situation and accept pre-paid cards, that are only good for my business, which forces the customer to have to spend the entire pre-paid card at my business.
“The nice thing about such pre-paid cards is I can make those cards only valid at my business. So, whatever you put on there, even if you are only spending a nickel at a time, the entire profit goes to the business. You can’t take that card anywhere else.”
Nope
Yep. Can you show me the law that says that I have to have a generalized prepaid card system as opposed to one just for my business?
You can faintly see 3rd ggfather’s signature forged on the left - H B Gibson. He had 2 railroads, the latter of which was merged with others to form the NY Central. Was on the board of directors for the first year, then lost out to Erastus Corning in board battle. Fascinating character. Didn’t want to loan money to people with whiskers.
“Yep. Can you show me the law that says that I have to have a generalized prepaid card system as opposed to one just for my business?”
The last time you claimed there was no law is referenced the law and you then misquoted the law!
I didn’t misquote anything.
You’re still being pedantic for the sake of being pedantic.
Or count change.
I'll bet most Gen Z'ers balk at the thought of handling cash at all these days. They want: "Tap your card, and get out of my face so I can go back to my phone!"
My dad does that a lot with the $2 bills. It’s lots of fun watching their poor little brains short-circuit when spending them.
The idiots here in the US had someone arrested over a $2 bill.

Sometimes I spend a Susan B. thinking it’s a quarter, sometimes I get a Susan B. in change instead of a quarter. I think I’ve about broken even over the years in that respect.
With the price of soda nowadays I’m a little surprised that there hasn’t been an increase in demand for $2 bills for soda machines.
That was the common complaint when Eisenhower dollars were phased out.
