Screen all money from stores for fake bills

Posted in General by Bes on Aug 18, 2006

You know how different stores use a marker to verify bills when you hand over a big bill to buy something? Like when you hand over a 50 dollar bill to buy a movie ticket, or a hundred dollar bill to buy an ice cream? The staff takes out a marker and puts a big line on the bill, and then holds it up against the ceiling light to clearly show you that you are not being trusted. Instead of wondering how to make them stop doing that, try doing the same thing to them.

Try carrying a marker with you at all times and whenever someone gives you a change back at any store, use the marker to verify it, or at least pretend that you’re trying to verify the bill. Whether it’s at the bank or at a movie theatre, do this slowly and make sure the staff member who handed you the change watches you draw marker lines on the bill. You can even draw a penguin or car on the bill and then hold it up high to verify it against the ceiling light. Compare the look on the face of the store staff with the look they have when they do the very same thing to you.

You’ll find the difference to be very beautiful.

    LOL, wow, I’d like to try that! Too bad I don’t have that marker to do that with… Hehe, it’d be funny to see how the worker reacts to that!

    Chau, If you can’t get a real currency marker, try any marker, just for the heck of it and to see “their” faces.
