Isn't that type of thing fairly common though, and been around for a while now? I remember reading about similar stories 25 years ago, where people who were too smart were denied cop jobs for the same reasons.

Even beyond the "getting bored" angle, kind of a rough cultural fit if you're smarter than 99% of people on the force, likely smarter than all your bosses as well.

How can a person not know their own country's currency?

There's, what, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 - that's seven notes. How can someone not hold this information in their heads?

They knew what a $2 bill was, the counterfeit pen just didn't work on it so they went after the adolescent that was obviously the head of a major $2 counterfieting ring. They're being retarded, but for an even more retarded reason than not knowing what a $2 bill was.

The treasury has been trying to fade them out for a while. That's why there's been such a push on getting people to use dollar coins.

Unfortunately, the treasury's efforts to get people to use dollar coins haven't been successful, while people still use the dollar bills.

I had someone do this to me when I was getting a coffee the other day. I paid with an old $10, and the lady looked for the watermark, then called her manager when she couldn't find it. The manager scribbled on it with the counterfeit pen for like 30 seconds before I just walked away because they had already handed me my coffee and my change. I was actually shocked into silence by what I had witnessed, and I'm pretty sure that if I had stuck around they would have tried to force me to give back my coffee and my change. It's not like either of the employees were that young either; at least one of them should have seen an old $10 before and known that it didn't have any of the newer counterfeit countermeasures :v:

I actually think the person who tested the $2 bill in the first place didn't know what it was. Because why the gently caress would you test a $2 bill? If someone hands him two single dollar bills does he test both as well?

I don't get this. Isn't it more expensive to make dollar coins, even if the idea is that your making fewer of them?

Haven't most people under the age of 40 already done this? I don't know a single person under 40 that uses cash anymore, it's all credit and debit.

Depends where you live. Not everything takes credit or may have a credit minimum. Some are cash only.

Too bad they're inconvenient as gently caress. Nothing makes you feel more like a poor than a pocket full of change.

It's getting better but nothing sucks more than being out in the middle of loving nowhere and the only store in town doesn't take cards but they have a ripoff $5/transaction ATM.

Yeah, but I'm in Canada and EVERYWHERE takes cards. We rolled out debit tech well before most countries. I've seen kids running lemonade stands that take cards (those little addon swipe things for cell phones). The last holdout business that didn't take cards probably folded a decade ago.

Like I said, it's getting better in the US. I went to a rave out in the middle of nowhere last weekend and was fully prepared to need cash if I stopped at any of the podunk towns on the way. Never had a problem.

Only thing is, like people were saying; if I'd wanted to buy :catdrugs:, I would have needed cash.

The only cash-only establishment I have ever been to was a deli on Long Island which I'm convinced was just an excuse to launder cash or underreport their earnings.

what is yall sayin?
Wait did we talk abotu Chris Brown yet?



And how in 2009 he beat the poo poo out of Rihanna while driving a lambo

Police Report posted:

Brown – who was charged with two felonies Thursday – allegedly tried to force his girlfriend out of the Lamborghini, and hit her head against the passenger window.

Rihanna then "turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand," says the paperwork. "He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand."



And then fans took to Twitter (and his concerts!) to loudly defend him. Oh yeah and he was subsequently denied visas in Australia and the UK.

Then this week he got into a stand off with the LAPD.

speaking of chris brown and ri ri - floyd mayweather should be in jail for decades but instead gets to make more money in a single fight than we'll make in all of our lifetimes combined.

quote:

Floyd Mayweather is a misogynist. And not just a misogynist, but a batterer, and a serial batterer at that. This is a statement of fact that you will rarely see or hear from the professional boxing media, many of whom remain hopelessly dependent on the reigning box office king’s goodwill for access. It’s certainly not one you will hear from any of the assembled talking heads on Showtime, the CBS-owned cable network to which Mayweather is contractually wed. And while it may be easy enough to guess why the boxing media has been so willing to cover for Mayweather’s sins, it’s less obvious why so many others are so willing to look the other way.
