  • Had to bite the bullet today

    So I went to gas up this afternoon and I gave the clerk some money. She back out telling me that my $10 bill is a counterfeit money. She said it outloud for everyone to hear. I went WHAT???

    She put a clear tape on it and pull it out. Sure enough the print came off. I was embarass. This was the first time this ever happened to me. I knew that if I took the money to the bank they will tell me that it was a counterfeit and I would have to bite the bullet and lose $10.00.

    I knew where the money came from. Because yesterday at 5:30pm I bought a medium size smoothie for $4.25 at Jamba Juice and I gave a lady a 20.00 bill and she gave me a 10.00 dollar and some change. That was the last thing I spent my money on before trying to buy some today gas.

    I went to Jamba Juice and them told that they gave me a fake $10.00 bill. They run their magic marker on it and told me it's real. Then I said to them exchange it then for another $10.00 bill. They said no, unless if I want to buy a smoothie then they would take the bill. I said no way, I want this exchange.

    To make a long story short I got into a screaming contest with their manager who thinks I'm a liar. I told her to review their video and see for herself that her clerk gave me a fake bill. Anyway, she's not going to do that she takes no responsibility for it. She said that other customers have come up to her and told her that they got fake bills for change. I told her that's not my problem. It's got nothing to do with me.

    To top it off, since I was upset she wants to give me a free smoothie. I just said no. I want my real money back, but it wasn't going to happen. So I left upset and told the customers their to check their change. And I left the fake money with her.

    I don't know what I would do in your case , probably buy the drink and cash in the $10 since they would take it , so I wouldn't be out the $10.

          I know... thank god for that. But even if I did buy a 99 cent gum they would still know that I gave them a fake bill.

            I thought about that too after I left. But it's the principle of things that got me. They said it's real, then exchange it for another 10.00 and they can keep that.

              The way the manager explained it was that she's done this before where her customers claimed they got fake change back. So I figure this must be typical of them to be giving fake bills for change.

                  I'm pretty sure it's a federal crime to knowingly pass counterfeit money - the last thing you want to do is try to pass it back for a stick of gum. I would file a claim with the secret service and get this business to be more responsible with their cash policies.

                      I would have been pissed too. I wonder how that cashier is getting them and if she keeps doing it she must be making money off of it somehow. I work at a bank as a teller and people try passing fake bills all the time. Haven't gotten me yet :)

                        Well I would have probably done the same thing by leaving it there with the manager. It shows that you were being truthful imo. I bought some oil from autozone recently and it was a 5 quart jug and got home and it was used, black burnt to sh!t oil and I tried to return it and they said I was lying. I didn't undertake it cuz I went in there all the time. The manager was a douche so I went back the next day with a different manager in shift and exchanged it. I wont shop at auto zone anymore needless to say.

                          how do they make money from it?

                          you hand them a 20 for 10 bucks worth of food. they give you a fake 10 so you have to come back and spend it there. say you buy 5 bucks worth so that you don't lose 10 bucks and they give you a real five back. they have now managed to keep 15 of your 20 bucks, when you intended to only spend ten.

                          i would go to the police, secret service, whoever, and ask for an investigation since it seems to happen a lot with them. maybe call a local new station and have them interview the owner about it. if they are smart they will stop to avoid the bad press.

                            Sorry to hear about you being ripped off, it's enough to piss anybody off.

                            Out of interest, how much gas did you get for your 10$. It would only buy a little over a gallon here lol.

                            Cheers

                              If you were embarrassed about anything, it should be your spelling. I understand not everyone has the best grammar / spelling on the internet but my god... I got a headache from reading that. :rant:
