Today at work towards the end of lunch I received a manager call, nothing unusual about this. I take the call and it's our stores bank calling. The teller proceeds to tell me that I need to get to the bank within 15 minutes to replace the 50 dollar counterfeit bill that they had received in one of our deposits yesterday! I asked, being ignorant of the fact, if we were responsible for a counterfeit bill, and indeed we are! I'm not a money expert, I had no idea what a counterfeit 50 spot looked like! So I had to drop everything and leave the store and go take care of our 50 dollar debt to the bank. They actually were acting as if I was personally responsible for giving them a fake 50!! I asked if there had been a rash of counterfeit money coming thru and the teller said no. The bank had to file a report about the counterfeit money. I asked if I could have a copy or the bill since I had replaced the money, with the real thing, that was out of the question.
So we now I have to go pick up this simple little $4 dollar marker that actually can detect counterfeit bills. I have no ideal why we haven't gotten one before now, who knows. Crazy stuff happens like this all of the time, it's actually quite ridiculous at times.
