I accepted a dime from bermuda today. I said:
"OH that's not even Canadian" and she looked at me all sadly and said "but it's the only dime I have" and I said "okay i'll take it!" and then in the cashier's office I switched it.
I really don't care if the bill is ripped, torn, washed, etc. What really pisses me off is when somebody makes me take the stack of singles out and find them the "cleanest" ones.

I do too, but I don't like paying for purchases under $10 with my debit card if I have cash. One time I went to Sonic and the idiot girl swiped my car for $8xx.xx dollars, saw the mistake and recredited it back to my card. Little did she know that it takes a few days for that credit to reimburse my card and it wasn't pretty when I had several checks out for rent/utilities.

It was well worth it if she had to pick it up off the ground...I'm guessing she didn't but that woulda been cool. Or even better, reach over and put the 1 dollar bill on the ground near her feet and say "You keep it...you need it more than me".

Comes up to $2.50 so I just reach in my wallet and use cash since I just got change from dinner. I hand her 3 $1 and one of them was missing about 15% of the dollar as if it got torn off. She was like:
Her: Enh eh, this ain't gone work.
Me: What do you mean, it's a dollar isn't it? I just got that from Taco Bell as part of my change.
Her:
Nope, ain't gone work.
Me: (hands her another dollar from my wallet and take back the one that ain't gone work)
After that, she reaches to give me back my change (50 cents).
I take it and throw it back on the counter..
Me: Nah you keep it. (walks out of store while she looks at me speechless)
I swear they hire the most ghetto fab people around here. No customer service skills whatsoever. My ex worked at a bank and she told me before that its acceptable as long as you can see the face on the bill, one whole serial #, and at least half of the other.
