Unfiltered Story #192302

I work check at a grocery store. As a rule of thumb we are allowed to accept $2 bills, but we don’t hand them out as change since most stores don’t accept them. At the end of the day we just hand them into the manger on duty.

Me: And your total is $9.43
Customer 1: I’ll give you $10

He opens his wallet and counts out five $2 bills. I in return give him two quarters, a nickle, and two pennies in change. A customer behind him remarks;

Customer 2: I did not know you guys take $2 bills.
Me: We do (and I explained to her our polices).

After I already closed my drawer and started scanning the next customer’s order the gentleman beforehand turned around.

Customer 1: Excuse me
Me: Yes?
Customer 1: You gave me a Canadian penny. I can’t use this anywear. It’s only with a third of a cent. Can you open up your drawer and give me an American one please.

Both me and the next customer had a laugh at the irony of this.
