Texas police tell little girl she is in "big trouble" for buying school meal with $2 bill

[Grim_Beefer]

You’re telling me that the school - the place where kids get GOD DAMN EDUCATED didn’t know that a $2 bill was legal tender?

They shouldn’t just be fired for being inhuman monster assholes to an innocent child, they should be canned for being completely bad at their fucking jobs.

And none were even open to the idea that such a thing could exist, even though forging a bill of that quality would obviously cost more than two dollars and would be well beyond the means of most 13-year-olds

And none stopped to think that if one were able to counterfeit bills, one would hardly counterfeit a bill that doesn’t exist.

From what I understand.

Me too. I rarely use cash these days.

Well, you might be surprised there…

(From CBS News) Cops: Man tried to use $1M bill at Walmart

On the one hand, if you’re going to forge a bill that doesn’t exist you might as well aim high. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that a Walmart cashier would be able to make $999,524 in change.

Wait, exactly where do you swipe the credit card to tip the stripper?

[jerwin]

The answer is very, very sexy.

[9re9]

There’s no mention of the girl being detained or shot on sight. Is she white?

[Gutierrez]

Yeah right in her Square Reader!

Just don’t ask where she keeps the phone.

Strippers don’t like when you do the whole credit card thing down their buttcrack no matter how many times you see it in a hiphop video.

Edit: This probably tells you how long its been since I’ve been to one of these places (I’m 44…it was my 21st birthday last time I was at one)…and I don’t even know if anyone still makes videos!

That is crazy. It seems that “million dollar bill” was actually a flyer from www.WayOfTheMasterRadio.com, which means it’s conceivable the gentleman found it somewhere and mistakenly believed he had found a million dollars.

She did escape the bullet, but the second sentence of the summary above makes it clear she was detained.

@frauenfelder

An officer went to the school office where the girl was being held, scaring the hell out of her and calling her grandmother with dire warnings about federal counterfeiting crimes being committed.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

On the upside, she now has a much better two-dollar bill story than Peter Leppik’s old Taco Bell anecdote.

Two $$ is for Texas!

I am beginning to believe that Texas is the epicenter for stupidity.

[jerwin]

Two dollar bills are also associated with horse racing. (Though I’ve never been to a strip club, and I’ve never been to the track. I live a sheltered life.)

My college library used to keep a supply, though.

In either case he wasn’t the first or last person to try spending a megabuck at a Walmart. (And it always seems to be Walmart.)

The best part about the Tubman 20… we get to call em T-Dubs.

[Vert]

Heeheee!

tried to pay for the items with the fake [million-dollar] bill and even asked for change.

Wouldn’t you?!

[Brainspore]

Best part of the Tubman 20 is that they promote fiscal responsibility.
