>STORY:
>On my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold are a $50 bill and a $2 bill.
>
>I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get some thing to eat and not have to worry about anyone getting irritated at me for trying to break a $50 bill.
>
>Me: "Hi, I'd like one seven-layer burrito please, to go."
>Server: "That'll be $1.04. Eat in?"
>Me: "No, it's to go." At this point, I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny.
>Server: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back." He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within my earshot.
>
>The following conversation occurs between the two of them:
>
>Server: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
>Manager "No. A what?"
>Server: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
>Manager: "Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2 bill."
>Server: "Yeah, thought so."
>He comes back to me and says, "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?"
>Me: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"
>Server: "I don't know."
>Me: "See here where it says legal tender?"
>Server: "Yeah."
>Me: "So, why won't you take it?"
>Server: "Well, hang on a sec."
>
>He goes back to his manager, who has been watching me like I'm a shoplifter, and says to him, "He says I have to take it."
>
>Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?"
>Server: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change.
>Manager: "I'm not opening the safe with him in here."
>Server: "What should I do?"
>Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money."
>Server: "I can't tell him that! You tell him."
>Manager: "Just tell him."
>Server: "No way! This is weird. I'm going in back.
>
>The manager approaches me and says, "I'm sorry, but we don't take big bills this time of night."
>
>Me: "It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two dollar bill."
>Manager: "We don't take those, either."
>Me: "Why not?"
>Manager: "I think you know why."
>Me: "No really, tell me why."
>Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
>Me: "Excuse me?"
>Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
>Me: "What on earth for?"
>Manager: "Please, sir."
>Me: "Uh, go ahead, call them."
>Manager: "Would you please just leave?"
>Me: "No."
>Manager: "Fine -- have it your way then."
>Me: "Hey, that's Burger King, isn't it?"
>
>At this point, he backs away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner.
>
>I have two people staring at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this 45-year-oldish guy Comes in.
>
>Guard: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"
>Manager (whispering): "This guy is trying to give me some (pause) funny money."
>Guard: "No kidding! What?"
>Manager: "Get this. A two dollar bill."
>Guard (incredulous): "Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?"
>Manager: "I don't know. He's kinda weird. He says the only other thing he has is a fifty."
>Guard: "Oh, so the fifty's fake!"
>Manager: "No, the two dollar bill is."
>Guard: "Why would he fake a two dollar bill?"
>Manager: "I don't know! Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?"
>Guard: "Yeah."
>
>Security Guard walks over to me and.... ..
>
>Guard: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use."
>Me: "Uh, no."
>Guard: "Lemme see 'em."
>Me: "Why?"
>Guard: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?"
>
>At this point I am ready to say, "Sure, please!" but I want to eat, so I say, "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this two dollar bill.
>
>I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I 'm taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and he says, "Hey, Mike, what's wrong with this bill?"
>
>Manager: "It's fake."
>Guard: "It doesn't look fake to me."
>Manager: "But it's a two dollar bill."
>Guard: "Yeah?”
>Manager: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?"
>
>The security guard and I both look at him like he's an idiot and it dawns on the guy that he has no clue.
>So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too. Made me want to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail. You get free food there, too.
