[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] So I was working tonight, running between the slap table, the cut table, and the driver stand, when an insider on till calls me over. A very irate elderly dude is holding a $50 bill, and promptly begins to assail our corporate policy on cash: we don't accept bills over $20, a policy which this very kind, sweet insider was trying to explain to him. Now, here's the thing. Lots of people try to pay with $50's, and while the sign says "Nothing Over $20", really, so long as the change back is less than $20, we're okay with it. And y'know, if he'd said, "Look, it's all I got, I'll never do it again, please?" I'd probably have said, "Sure, go ahead." Instead, he begins ranting and raving. Like most airheads, he assumes that since I am here, I set the corporate policy. Yes, I a lonely shift manager, has the ability to set corporate policy. I try to explain this to him, y'know, that a big Papa out in Kentucky sets corporate policy, but he's having none of it. He goes on a tirade about how a $50 bill is legal US currency, and how our stores' policy is a violation of his civil, constitutional, and god-given rights! He then threatens to have me arrested by the police (and Officer Green, waiting for his 50% off pizza, can barely control his laughter at this point), and tells me that if I refuse to accept the $50, he will contact a lawyer and sue me. So I look him straight in the eye, and I said, "Ok, sir, tell ya' what I'll do. I'll save you the trouble - I'll turn myself into the police for refusing to accept your money." And I look up at Officer Green, who is in the store two or three nights a week, and I said, "Officer, please arrest me for violating this man's right to have his $50 accepted." And Officer Green just bursts out laughing, as are most of the other customers in the carryout by this point. The old man gets fuming pissed, and shouts, "Compared to you, Osama Bin Laden is George Washington!" and storms out. Oh, bless his heart, the cute old stupid ignorant codger :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
