I don't believe in the no-win scenario
I recall a funny story about a fellow at the mall trying to buy tacos. This was probably 30 years ago but the manager was a similar type it appears. The man had a 2 dollar bill (a very real but rare American currency). The cashier looked at it funny for a min and called said young manager over. Manager is just as puzzled. Asks the man if he has any other currency on him. The man tells him he has a 50 dollar bill, but the manager would have to make change and was now uncomfortable opening the safe with this man in the vicinity. Finally, manager ask the man to leave or they will call security. Man asks the manger to go ahead and call them.I once basically got accused of doing this lol.
I was at the small-store version of a big supermarket in the UK (I think a Sainsbury's), and I was doing the usual post-work shopping on the way home, picked up some milk which had an attractive new bottle, went to the counter, and they rang everything up except the milk, which they couldn't get to ring up, got the manager to come and help (as one does), then the manager (who must have been like, all of 23, and clearly with serious social issues, god knows how he got the position), looks at the milk like its the devil, and starts going on a rant about how they don't stock that kind of milk, they never have, and starts trying to quiz me about what kind of trickery or scam I'm trying to pull here, and then even threatened to call the police, before I think realizing what he'd just said and that he'd lost his mind and just going and getting a different 4-pint of semi-skimmed. I'm still mystified to this day as to how I'd have scammed them by buying milk. If I was returning it for sure.
Damn whatever CN trickster created that situation!
Security arrives and ask about the situation. Manager explains what happened to him. Security asks why somebody would "fake a 2 dollar bill of all things?" It finally donned on the security that this manager was unaware a 2 dollar bill even existed. To the managers credit, he gave the man a taco and drink on the house for his ignorance on the issue.
