I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

"....when the cops were called. One officer reportedly noticed the bills ran in sequential order " WOW !! I'm impressed ! Was he so INTELLIGENT or does he watch the TUBE too much ??

And it's not surprising this happened at best buy. Not exactly the best and the brightest running the show there.

Best Buy is not popular in our household. I bought one of their extended warranty plans that they push at the register for a digitzer pad I bought for my daughter. When it failed a few months later, Best Buy made me ship it to the manufacturer--who then told me that their agreement with Best Buy is that the customer can return merchandise directly to the store for a replacement. Thanks, Best Buy!

I was about to say the same thing. I hate Best Buy, anyway, they deserve to be sued.

Okay, everyone, now that we're on this pick on cashiers kick, the next time you buy anything, ask the cashier if they take Federal Reserve Notes.

I'd definitely be doin some lawyer shoppin! He could probably get a good one to take the case on a 15-25 percent contingency instead of the usual 33%.

This little episode is like winning the lottery.


About 6 months back, somebody handed me a ten dollar note that looked funny.

It says "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private AND MAY BE REDEEMED FOR LAWFUL MONEY AT ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK"

It's a ten dollar bill from 1951.

Thanks NEA. Your achievement ain't worth a $2.00 bill!

I meant you've been collecting the quarters for six years...

[ambrose]

Those Best Buy knuckleheads at that particular store are probably now so nervous that they'd accept these...

You mean Sacagawea?

I tried paying for a KFC meal with one of the old 20 bill and the pimplefaced pubescent cashier refused it because it was "fake". The manager, who looked to be a year older, said the same thing and I raised a ruckus that the police responded to. Cop looked at the bill and traded me a "correct" bill. I bought my lunch at Burgerville.

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."

That's honestly the LAMEST fareaking excuse I think I've EVER heard!

Post #25 had it 1000% right.

I'd sprain my wrist dialing a lawyer. There would be no reason to go cheap either. Too bad about Johnny Cochran, maybe Alan Dershowitz or Gerry Spence would be available.

Stupidity of this magnitude must be punished with all the might you can muster.

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."

9/11 has absolutely nothing to do with this incident.

I think Best Buy can expect a call from Mr. Bolesta's attorney.

Seems that little fact never entered the thought processes of the local PD.

I might just be able to understand the BB cashier, having been the common product of the current educational system, 8^) but one might think that the police had some common sense...

[Yo-Yo]

Yup, they do exist.

</sarcasm>

[Pompah]

LEG IRONS.!!!
Handcuffed to a pole is bad enough,But Leg Irons.! Come On.

[JOE6PAK]

The terrorists DID win!

[hillary's_fat_a**]

I'd like to pick up a stack of $2 bills and get arrested up here .... where can one get these bills today?
