Ripping Through The Economy

(I am getting a customer her change. One of the dollar bills I hand her has a small rip in the corner, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. I give her the money, and she just stares at it.)
Me: “Is something wrong?”
Customer: “Does this have a rip in it?”
Me: “Uh… I think it had a small tear–“
Customer: “Oh, no. I can’t accept that. [Store] makes so much money. They can stand to have some ripped up dollars; I can’t. [Store] just makes so much money.”
Me: “Would you like me to get you a different dollar?”
Customer: “Yes. [Store] makes a lot of money. They can keep this one.”
