The "giving coins" I did much the same thing at a gas station. Almost closing, $5US, gives me a $100US bill. We always kept a few banded $1US on hand just for this. Went through the whole "anything smaller" dance, but since the gas was already in the car, they waited while I counted out 95 $1 bills to them. Good times.
I'm a bartender, and when we start our shifts at the places I work, we always have that one customer who comes in close to opening who whips out a hundred for a $7.50 beer, and they always say the exact same thing. "Bet you've never seen one of those before!" they say smugly. One day someone said that, and I took a step back, pulled out my wallet, and pulled 8 one-hundred dollar bills out of my wallet. "Nope, never seen one before." Wiped the smug look off of that guy's face.
My cousin worked at an industrial machine shop making parts for major car industries. He made decent money for his area. His roommate was leaving on a trip and my cousin offered to buy him some nice clothes to wear. Going to a nice store they started looking around. Both my cousin and his roommate were in casual clothes. Looking at a nice tie, my cousin asked how much it was. The store salesman said "Oh, im sure you cant afford that" with a condescending sneer. My cousin opened up his walled and showed 8 $100 dollar bills and other smaller bills and responded "Guess I cant... so ill just shop somewhere that I can afford their merchandise... and the salesperson will be more helpful and really want to earn that commission!" And my cousin and roommate left!
I work at a gas station, and some clients regularly buy large amounts of gas ( I've seen some pickup trucks or high end luxury cars take as much as $150-$200). For that reason, most gas stations WILL accept $100 bills even if it's clearly posted they wont. If they abuse this "privilege", we tend to do the coin gag or we tell them we don't have the change at all and they'll have to wait until we get enough cash customers to get said change. My personal record for stalling a customer like this is 2 1/2 hours one stormy winter night. The guy REALLY wanted to leave bit I was holding the C-note. And before you express sympathy for the idiot, I SAW his wallet had at least 2 credit cards and a bank (debit) card.
One time, my family was stuck in an airport due to technical problems with the plane. Nearly every passenger was complaining, except us. My husband used to work with baggage handling, so he knows a lot about the possible issues, and how airlines can or can't communicate. The flight was was delayed over 3 hours. Even though 2 of our kids have ADHD, and the 3rd has global developmental delay, we kept them calm and mostly distracted with food and stories. When the flight was finally ready for boarding, we found out we had been upgraded to business class, possibly because we not only controlled ourselves, but also tried to calm down other passengers by explaining what we thought was likely to be going on.
The only time I’ve ever heard of someone being upgraded for free in the US is on these “entitled parents “ and similar stories where they upgrade the victim and sometimes Karen. The other case is when a plane is overbooked. A passenger can give up their seat and be upgraded to first if available or first on a later flight. Or United will just drag you off the plane forcefully instead of offering better benefits like a normal company.
An airline is not obligated to rebook a flight for free if u missed it due to ur own fault, and arguing for an upgrade falls under the passenger side of faults
Oh yes, that is the rule. Ha, I always wondered about that. Personally I just ignore the rule if I find a spill I leave it and get the stuff I need from a nearby pole. I timed it out once as I was cleaning it was about 20 minutes before someone else came by. He just wanted to show that manager up as here people just call the store phone to tell them if they don't have a walkie. Which I'm thankful I rarely have and yes I'm in maintenance but I guess our store cheaps out as we barely have enough for everyone thst feel needs one. A manager saw me putting my dead one in the charging doc, "Don't put it there, someone else will take it." I felt like saying And? I waited till she left and put it back hoping for just that. What do you know a few days it took but it was gone. Since then I rarely have one. I hate it with a bunch of management chatter
I had a giant cardboard box nearby so I just put it over the spill there's no way I'd customer wouldn't be able to see that box also apparently potatoes can rot so much that it looked like mashed potatoes my manager hated me I have no idea why but her response to what I did with the closest thing to her ever even remotely praising me
Problem is that 'exact change' buyers slow things down. A compitent cashier can give change faster than you can. So do them a favor, just give them the whole bill amount, rounded up to the nearest single or 5.
17:55 Actually, the airline crew in many airlines CAN upgrade random passengers at random times but they will never upgrade a karen. Nice people are those most likely receiving these upgrades.
I actually work at walmart and was listening to this on my lunchbreak. That is also a rule at my store. I was just told the other day to guard a spill of sugar. The problem was that there wasn't much to guard. By the time the spill was reported it was up and down multiple aisles...
Long ago and far away (Seattle, early 90's) I worked in a Kinko's, before FedEx absorbed them. I had an "opening" shift one Sunday, and around 7am, a lady, dressed up to go to church enters, and asked me to break a $100. I politely refused. "Then I'll just make a copy, and you'll HAVE to break it!" she said. B&W copies were only $.06 each at that time. and she made a copy of nothing, just to "force" me to break her bill. I accepted the counter back, cleared it, hung it back up and wished her a pleasant day without asking for payment. "But... but you HAVE to break my bill!" Still giving her a pleasant face, I told her, "No, I do not. I only have $100 in my till, and there will be no one in until 9am to give me more change." At this, she accepted defeat, knowing that she should have planned better for making her tithe at church. This was nearly 30 years ago, and even now most places that aren't banks, grocery stores, or casinos break $100 bills readily, and without giving you grief over it. You have my permission to read this in one of your videos if you like.
Depending on country and region, it is against the law to refuse payment so long as the payment is legal tender, however, there IS commonly a loophole where the store can say 'we give a maximum of $20 change' etc.. so if they buy a $5 coffee with a hundred, they are not getting the remaining $75
I was a CSM at a Walmart and i had guarded a spill and called over my radio for multiple people and no one had shown up. I stood there for about a hour. Then my store manager and every ASM on duty had finally walked by yelling at me because I had long lines up front and every cashier needed assistance. So I had finally gotten to my cashiers, and I had ended up not finishing my work before I had to clock out, because we weren’t allowed overtime
In Australia if it is legal note you must accept it not allowed to say "no large notes" because it is illegal (can ask for smaller but can't reject if if you have change). Most places except card now and have no minimum (only small businesses have no card for under $5)
In all honesty, that store's management must've been super cheap if the didn't have "Caution: Wet floor" signs and made their employees watch over the spill instead.
According to The Australian Currency Act of 1965, what the clerk did is against the law. Effectively, more than ten coins of a single denomination are inadmissible as currency in a single exchange(In my country it's >100 coins). They need to just make a store policy, the whole situation is incredibly stupid. But people who wave hundos at minimum wage employees are the worst, like what's the thought process behind that?
If they were behind enough on a truck at Wally World, it becomes an all hands on deck situation and the manager probably did have to do some real work. They can't pull cashiers or other floor workers into the warehouse unless they have been trained.
I do the same job, in Australia. What is funny is legal tender comes into play and the person being given the change can simply refuse it and get the coffee for free. It usually works in the other direction. Legal tender is Australia is less then $5 in silver, or 20 $1 coins and 20 $2 coins. It is essentially there to stop people from pulling that type of crap onto people. So just do what I do and give them so many $5 notes. People don’t like that either.
That Wal-Mart thing is hardly an isolated incident. There were several times when I was a cashier where they refused to give me my second break, which they're by law required to give me, so at the end of my shift, I'd take a 15 and clock out late, forcing them to either cut the last day in my week (if I was on full time)--haha, yeah right, they'd make me take an extra long lunch, but still work till the same clock-out time, tell me how much sense that makes--or simply start paying me more (when I was part time due class schedule). Hell, one time they wouldn't even let me off though I kept signalling despite needing desperately to take a piss. I swear it took me at least 5 minutes to walk the less than 100 feet from the Customer-Service-near-till-loot drop off to the toilets. Damn cheapskates.
I am ever glad where I live we have cashless system where you just pay using various apps. No chance of getting robbed (you can set a pin for the apps) of all your money or having to deal with the awkward; “I’m sorry, this is the only change I have.” I still carry cash though, just in smaller bills and not much to be worth it for anyone to steal.
Not sure why the gas station doesn't put up a sign saying "no large bills" or something. Dunno how it is in Australia, but in the US, just because a penny or $100 bill is legal tender doesn't mean a business or individual is obligated to take it as payment.

OMG, here how bad public schools in my area are ok... My sister got a pizza it was like $9.20 she hands the girl at register a $10 and 2 dimes (dimes are 10 cents each) the girl looks at my sister and say "you gave me too much" This is why we some need calc and s hit like that, we need consumer math and classes on how to do taxes.
You're still liable in the case of a fall potentially (different locations are less ridiculous when the signage is clear). In these cases you put down the sign, get your supplies, clean, and then leave it there until it's dried. I was the head cleaner on a large site for a couple of years. I was the one who got called in for the majority of spills. Always hated them because it was a rush to the nearest supply closet before someone got hurt.
Yea, in my place cash is not king. Cards are. The only place you will sometimes be required to use cash is at the smaller fleamarkets, and pretty much only if they're private. At all public markets the stands are issued card terminals.
That 'spill' manager is really dumb. If you see a spill and you can get cleaning equipment within eye shot , it's it normal to just get equipment and clean it yourself? And, normally, if you saw your worker cleaning spills at your store, you should just kept quiet if you can't even offer a praise.
Former Walmart worker here I can confirm Walmart is always like that I worked cap 2 team unloading trucks and deli department I almost always was the only 1 in my department have gone 3 hrs in the deli with 30 plus customers calling for help on the intercom not 1 person came when it came to close I kid you not 8 mangers came told me to clean and unload the truck I said I have worked 9 hrs with no brakes I am taking a lunch and going home they ended up doing everything
I'd just like to say thank you for always wishing us to have a good day. Even if it's not directed at me specifically, it's always nice to hear kind words from someone. Thank you, and I hope YOU have a really good day too.
I once got 2 cents more from the self-checkout machine, and when I asked the employee at the self-checkout about it, she said to keep it. (I put the two extra cents into the in-store Starbucks' tip jar)
Credit card fraud is handled differently in the US. If the credit company wanted to press charges against the server, they could, since they are technically who she would be stealing from. Not likely. Those sweet interest rates let them write that stuff off pretty easily unless it is on the hundreds or thousands.
What was up with the lunchbox from hell? Who in their right mind put heavy glassware in a lunchbox for a three year old? Montessori or not plastic would be safer.
Have you thought about how boring it is to stand by a spill for hours? The only reason OP did it was because he was getting back at his petty manager who wrote him up for cleaning a spill instead of watching a spill just days before. If you believe it would be a fun to watch a spill, then try it at home. Put a puddle of water on a hard floor surface in the middle of a room. Then stand by that puddle for 2 hours (you are not allowed to have anything a store employee could not have while doing this: no phone, no gaming device, no ipod, etc.). Remember, you are a Walmart employee guarding a spill. Let us know how much fun it is.
At least here in the US, there is no law or federal mandate that says that a business or individual is obligated to take any coins or bills as payment. www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages/legal-tender.aspx
The story took place in Australia, not the US. In the US, stores refuse to take anything larger than a twenty. It is legal to do that in the US. The law in Australia is that stores and gas stations must accept any Australian bill and cannot ban customers from paying with 100$AU bill. So this customer and others abuse this by going to retail places to break their large bills. Of course, they could go to their bank but do not want to bother to do so. I really like this malicious compliance. It will discourage the dude with the 100$AU from coming back to do the breaking his bill at that small store again.
@@PokemonProfessorTony I know and I am thankful for it because as you can see, forcing places to take 100s leads to abusive customer behavior. In the US, if you have a US $100, you will have trouble trying to break it at any retail establishment. Might as well just use an ATM to deposit it in your account. A pretty darn useless bill. Might as well be Monopoly money.
I don't know why anyone would have large bills in the first place when I'm at the bank if I want $200 I'm asking for it in twenties the only time I ever with you $100 bill from the bank was when I was messing with someone I knew personally I don't even remember the story now just that I did it once
@SirWonderousMary but where did the lady in the first place get the $100 bill that's what I want to know the only time I ever had a hundred dollar bills was when I was buying my roommates computer from him for $1,000 and there was no way to pay him with a card at least not that I know of
I live it when I go to Spain to visit my family because Spanish people just don't take any BS from anyone lol If you try to BS a Spanish person, be prepared for some next level pettiness and some very creative insults XD
It's one I used to help out with offline. If I had large amounts of change when I went to the servo I'd ask if they'd appreciate an exchange, towards the middle of shifts (especially the graveyard shift) some of the clerks look ready to kiss you for a swap of 20-30 in shrapnel for notes because they frequently can't access the safe until the shift change.
Okay everyone, repeat after me... Don't be a dick to gate agents. Don't be a dick to gate agents. Don't be a dick to gate agents. I know the airport might be stressful but your gate agents will help you to the best of their ability if you're nice, and they have a really stressful job. My father is an airline pilot and I'm pretty sure "Don't be a dick to gate agents" is his golden rule of how to behave like a proper human at airports.
In the US there are people that are advocating for dollar coins but this is exactly why I don't want coins at all and I would actually be okay if we had paper change even if paper doesn't last as long
You Always get ads with him, I got 7 a few days back, unsubed, unfortunately I work in special ed and use the reddit channels as last class if the students have behaved well and this channel is a favourite of some of them. Its annoying to put it mildly
Why do you keep saying $96.25 during the big bills story? (Start at about 11:30). The story keeps showing the right amount (a dollar less), but it seems like you're trying to correct a non-existent mistake.
The "giving coins" I did much the same thing at a gas station. Almost closing, $5US, gives me a $100US bill. We always kept a few banded $1US on hand just for this. Went through the whole "anything smaller" dance, but since the gas was already in the car, they waited while I counted out 95 $1 bills to them. Good times.
That's one of the reasons why at most stations nowadays you cannot get gas without paying first. Card or cash or the pump will not be authorized.
I'm a bartender, and when we start our shifts at the places I work, we always have that one customer who comes in close to opening who whips out a hundred for a $7.50 beer, and they always say the exact same thing.

Great way to get overtime if your not allowed to leave a spill, get a friend to drop some water around the store

Oh, once the store closes, the spill does not need to be guarded anymore because the customers are gone.
You can't put up a sign saying no large bills because they argue that it's "legal tender! you have to accept it!"

In the US, if you have a US $100, you will have trouble trying to break it at any retail establishment. Might as well just use an ATM to deposit it in your account. A pretty darn useless bill. Might as well be Monopoly money.
The only time I pay with large bills or lots of change is when I use a self service machine
I don't know why anyone would have large bills in the first place when I'm at the bank if I want $200 I'm asking for it in twenties the only time I ever with you $100 bill from the bank was when I was messing with someone I knew personally I don't even remember the story now just that I did it once
@SirWonderousMary but where did the lady in the first place get the $100 bill that's what I want to know the only time I ever had a hundred dollar bills was when I was buying my roommates computer from him for $1,000 and there was no way to pay him with a card at least not that I know of
@SirWonderousMary the only time I was given the death glare by a customer was when they were paying with $100 bill and I couldn't make change
Good thing the man left that coffee because you were about to give him an extra dollar in his change. :D
The coffee was $4.95 , the change was $95.25 that adds to $100. remember this is Australia no hidden sales tax you pay the listed price
@@geraldgrenier8132 l agree but OP said the coffee was $4.75 and he was counting out $96.25 in change
Why didn’t they just say they don’t have change for it?
I live it when I go to Spain to visit my family because Spanish people just don't take any BS from anyone lol
If you try to BS a Spanish person, be prepared for some next level pettiness and some very creative insults XD
i like all the stories in this vid, but i think the coins one is my fav, esp since i hate having so many coins in my pocket/wallet.
It's one I used to help out with offline. If I had large amounts of change when I went to the servo I'd ask if they'd appreciate an exchange, towards the middle of shifts (especially the graveyard shift) some of the clerks look ready to kiss you for a swap of 20-30 in shrapnel for notes because they frequently can't access the safe until the shift change.
That is also Nonstop Dan in the thumbnail - "Emirates NEW 777 FIRST CLASS Private Suite Review"
buy something small and paying with a big bill to get chnage is common counterfitting trick
Okay everyone, repeat after me... Don't be a dick to gate agents. Don't be a dick to gate agents. Don't be a dick to gate agents.
I know the airport might be stressful but your gate agents will help you to the best of their ability if you're nice, and they have a really stressful job. My father is an airline pilot and I'm pretty sure "Don't be a dick to gate agents" is his golden rule of how to behave like a proper human at airports.
BS, Walmart doesn't give a rats ass if a customer falls
I was taught to stay next to spills as well lol.
It's not just that Wal-Mart it's all walmarts
She threw a lunch box why the fuck would you ask if they’re ok haha
In the US there are people that are advocating for dollar coins but this is exactly why I don't want coins at all and I would actually be okay if we had paper change even if paper doesn't last as long
my walmart punished us for watching spills
I normally pay by card. I rarely have cash
Thanks for uploading! Cant wait to hear all the stories
FJ! FJ! FJ! FJ! FJ!👏👏👏
All good stories! Thank you Jake!
For a second I thought this was a nonstopdan video because of the thumbnail...
I enjoy your uploads but holy shit slow down the ads felt like they kept coming
You got ads?!? I didn't get any and I'm not using ad-blocking software.
You Always get ads with him, I got 7 a few days back, unsubed, unfortunately I work in special ed and use the reddit channels as last class if the students have behaved well and this channel is a favourite of some of them. Its annoying to put it mildly
@@callmeishmael2415 I have the Enhancer for RUclips add-on and I have never, NOT ONCE EVER seen an ad on his pages. B*itch to YT, not the poster.
@@boba4 I have, read comments I'm not the only one. And I get it on two different cells and several computers, so I don't know what it is
Seriously, an ad with 50 seconds left in the video... This is an issue, and you get a downvote every time it happens.
Or you could be intelligent and install an ad blocker if it really bothers you that much.
Can you imagine hiring human wet floor signs.
In the thumbnail why does standing for 3 hours make you change race?
Love the last story lol.
‘Hook up lines’
Quick make a comment! Lol
Why do you keep saying $96.25 during the big bills story? (Start at about 11:30). The story keeps showing the right amount (a dollar less), but it seems like you're trying to correct a non-existent mistake.
👍👍👍👍👍😊
