received a badly torned 5 Dollar bill when they recieved change from a cashier, that you would ask for another one. Am I right? This morning this Dunkin Donuts Cashier gave me a badly ripped 5 Dollar bill and when I asked for another 5 Dollar Bill she gets an attitude? Why??-lol Am I the only one who would have asked for a better looking 5 dollar bill?

I don't think it is that big of a deal to ask for a new one. I personally wouldn't ask for a new one unless it was like a half of a bill.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. I can especially understand if it was a one dollar bill, since vending machines don't accept chewed up looking ones.

Well it was getting to that point-lol it was ripped almost to the middle

Just use tape.

So basically what you are saying is u underdstand the lady's attitude?-lol

No, I don't think she should give you an attitude, but at the same time, I don't think it is that big of a deal.

If the bill was a mess, I wouldn't accept it. That happens very rarely, to me anyway. Most stores turn the ratty, worn out bills into the bank, who takes them out of circulation.

I really couldn't care less. Just a piece of paper. It'll be out of my hands soon enough.

I was trying to prevent it from tearing while it was in my wallet. So I normally try to keep bills that are in good shape

You should've accepted it and used it the next time you were in Dunkin Donuts and preferably with the same cashier.

The thing that gets me is when I get cash from a bank, and they hand over extremely worn and even torn/taped bills. It's the job of the bankers to remove these worn-out bills from circulation (they can return them, I believe to the Fed Reserve).

Guess I didn't think of that-lol

I usually pass them on to the next store I visit, so it doesn't bother me if they're ripped. But I know some people don't like to have them in their wallet
(my husband for one). He asks politely for an exchange & usually gets it without any trouble.

As a cashier I wouldn't care if you asked for a new one. I wouldn't give it a second thought. People are always wanting change for a dollar so there kids can have quarters for those little machines. I break $50's a lot too. It really isn't a big deal.

Back when I worked in a store I would NEVER give out crappy bills. We would just give them to the bank. It was rude of the cashier to give you an attitude. It could be hard to get rid of a bill that's in bad condition, the next store might not accept it.

I would have taken it, it'll spend just like the next 5. So it wouldn't have mattered to me. I doubt that I would have given it back.

I wouldn't ask for another one.

Well, I'm the banker in the bunch, so here's the bankish answer:

I'd take the money, and if it was really bad I'd just take it to work (the bank) and exchange it. Anyone can take destroyed/dirty/mutilated money to their bank and we'll remove it from circulation. The rule about torn money is as long as more than half of the bill is there, we'll count it as a full one.

A Dunkin Donuts can't remove currency from circulation, so I can understand why they'd be frustrated. Just take it to the bank peeps :wave:

I would expect Dunkin Donuts to put their tattered and torn bills aside and have those stinkers as part of their daily bank deposit. Seems like good business sense to me. :wave:

No one should be giving out half a bill anyways. :lol:

It wouldn't matter to me. Here, money is money. Not like some countries where if a bill is tattered or torn a little or even if you write on it, it is considered NO GOOD.

I'm with Irene. To me, money is money. Then I'll be spending it as soon as possible, so who cares?? Some people are so picky. :D

Solomon said badly torn, now, in Solomon's mind, it may have been "no good"...in anyone else's hand, it would have been good. :lol:

:clap Irene, you took the words right out of my mouth. That is BEAUTIFUL!! (sorry, Solomon.) :rofl:

If it was badly torn I would probably. But other than that it's not really a big deal to me

Solomon said badly torn, now, in Solomon's mind, it may have been "no good"...in anyone else's hand, it would have been good. :lol:
Solomon said, "badly ripped...ripped almost to the middle". I would laugh in a clerk's face if they tried to pass that reject off on me.

Too bad it's not true.

At that point you ask the clerk to tape it for you if you can't take it. If I took it (and I would have) I would have put tape on it myself. Not a big deal. Too many other things going on to have to waste my time on that.

As a matter of fact, today (like every Monday) I go count the weekend donations at our local church. I see on an average $4000.00 in one dollar bills and out of that bunch, maybe 20 are tattered or torn to the point I need to tape it, but overall, WE TAKE IT, because it is still legal and tender. Once the tape is on there, the bill is fine. Let the bank worry abt it from that point on when it gets deposited.

Take it to the bank. Riiiiigth, it's Solomon's responsiblity to take a bill that's ripped in half to the bank.

Ask the clerk for tape. Hellloooo, it's the morning rush hour at Dunkin Donuts. How about Dunkin Donuts doesn't pass out bills that are almost ripped in half. As if people would accept a bill that's almost ripped in half. Get real. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone here.

Exactly. If Solomon doesn't want that bill, he can take it to the bank. Why is that such an issue? I just don't get it. Surely if the clerk gave him a hard time and he has the time to fight over that crap, then by all means. I have received bills that are torn or tattered and I have been able to pass them on to a clerk with no problem.

My point abt telling the clerk to tape it was so that he could make the point to the clerk that the bill is "no good in his eyes"...maybe the way Solomon told the clerk (with an attitude) is what fired her attitude up.

I never knew Dunkin Donuts had Scotch tape-lol News to Me

She probably only gave attitude because most registers you have to make a sale in order to open it. That used to happen to me a lot at work, someone wouldn't like the bill I gave them. When its a popular place you're not really examining the bills, you just throw them in and then dispense them out to keep the line moving. It happens

Why pin this on Solomon? I believe his version of the story. He got a bill that was just about ripped in half. Nobody in their right mind would accept such a bill. It's simple, you tell the clerk you want another bill. It's not Solomon's responsibilty to take it to the bank or tape it up. He's in there for a cup of coffee, not to mend to bills for Dunkin Donuts or the U.S. government. My husband's rolling around the couch right now, lol. He really is. This is ludicrous. It's like debating if the sky is blue. Have a nice day. :wave:

I went back in Dunkin Donuts Later and asked her why did she give me attitude and she said because it was very BUSY-lol Still no excuse, you can't get a tude because of the morning rush.

Yea I agree with you. It's one thing if it was taped up but to have a bill that's vertually tore in half I'd be pissed too. The Customer is supposed to be right. I don't see what the big deal is....just give him another bill.

Five dollars usually only lasts a day or two with me, so I couldn't care less what it looks like.

That cashier was in a better mood because the store wasn;t crowded this morning?-lol

I really don't care to much about the money I get back, but as a cashier I don't get an attitude if someone want a better one. Lots of grandparents ask for nice bills for birthday cards. If a customer give me a really worn bill I always try to put it on the bottom of the pile. It could be worse though I had a customer who had just cut his finger give me a very bloody ten. puke: I turned that in to the cash office there was no way I was giving that to a customer.

I was reading some pet peeve threads this morning. Some of the same people saying they'd have no problem getting a bill ripped in half said they get pissed if a clerk doesn't greet them. There was a thread made about getting bills back facing in the same direction, and people complaining about bills that are crumpled up. Read the peeve threads. They're a riot. I can post them later. You people kill me. :lol:

I always go to the bank to get crisp bills for gifts. We know Solomon wasn't getting a crisp bill for any grandkids either, lol. Just curious, would you give out a bill that was almost ripped in half?

Yeah there are some stupid cashiers that won't greet you-lol especially in rite aid

I wouldn't bother asking for a new bill, unless it was really tattered and disgusting. (As a former cashier, I have seen quite a few stinkers. I just put them at the bottom of the pile.)

Semi-OT: One time I was at Dunkin Donuts and the woman ahead of me took her money out of her sneaker :barf: and used it to pay for her coffee. The clerk accepted the money and put it in the register. When it was my turn, I told the clerk she better not give me any of the money that woman just gave her as my change. That's one of the reasons I use my debit card as much as possible these days.

I use my debit card also, I NEVER carry money anymore. Every two weeks I go to the back and get rolls of quarters so that I'll have change for the Toll-way.

I haven't been to a Dunkin Donuts since I was like 9 or 10 maybe. So I wouldn't know. But I still would have taken the torn 5, it's not like I was going to keep it forever, in the next few hours it would have been spent anyway.

No, if I had a badly ripped bill I would get some tape at the service desk and fix it first.

Yeah, I saw nothing wrong in those posts

Yeah, I saw nothing wrong in those posts
Yeah, if anything, I was stating how I was making it easier for the cashier BY ME PUTTING THE BILLS IN THE SAME DIRECTION. I am courteous to cashiers because I was once one. I know how hard of a job they have. I don't like rude cashiers, but my thread was abt giving bills in the same direction so the cashier can tend to my order immediately, to make it easier for them.

On whose part Bobby?



In that thread, you and Brieannas where whining about crumpled and balled up bills, and bills that don't face in the right direction. Yet, on Solomon's thread, you 2 are stating that they would accept a $5 that's ripped down the middle. Sounds kinda hypocritical. :crazy: :crazy:

Irene, you posted before that you were a manager in retail. Would you give your customers a bill ripped down the middle? If an employee did that and the customer complained, would you side with the employee?

I said that I hate it when the bills are crinkled up, I never said that I would ask for a nice new bill out of the register, I never said that I would give anything back. So I don't know how that's hypocritical. If I pay with money I take my change as I get it, I never ask for anything different. I take my money and leave. If it's ripped or crinkled it will spend like I brand spankin new one would, so why ask for another? It's not like I'm going to hang on to it for the rest of my life.

Irene, you posted before that you were a manager in retail. Would you give your customers a bill ripped down the middle? If an employee did that and the customer complained, would you side with the employee?
If you read the entire thread Bobby, you will see that I am backing up cashiers.

Bills facing in the right direction is how I AS A CUSTOMER HAND IT TO A CASHIER, not the other way around.

Also, you will see abt the rolled up, crinkled bills WHEN I RECEIVED THEM AS A CASHIER. I said nothing abt receiving them as a CUSTOMER. I was talking as the point of view as a cashier, someone who is trying to get YOU THE CUSTOMER, out of the line as quickly as possible. If I as a cashier am trying to unwrinkle, unball a stack of bills because the customer was too lazy to do that, then that is time wasted for the customer and for the rest of the customers in the store. Who likes waiting in line? I know I don't.

Also, I NEVER EVER GAVE OUT BAD BILLS. As a manager, I always made sure the bills I put in registers were in good shape, PRIOR to it going into the cash register machine. As a cashier, I always put aside "bad" bills that I received from customers. I never gave out torn or tattered bills.

HOWEVER, as a customer, I don't care if it is tattered or torn. I know I can always put that bill in my purse and tape it at home or put it in my coin/dollar jar at home that I have. At least twice a year I cash that jar out. No big deal.

So, where is the hypocrisy?

The hyprocrisy is this. You agree that employees shouldn't give out torn bills yet you give Solomon a hard time, even telling him to take it to the bank or to tape it. Even mocking and blaming him at one point. Do you agree that Solomon had a right to a bill that wasn't falling apart? A yes or no would be nice. Long posts make my eyes glaze over no offense.
As for bills facing in the right direction. If you expect customers to hand them to the employee that way, then I'm sure you expect employees to do the same.

Sticking to the point of torn or tattered bills, since you won't or can't read long posts, is this:

My point was that if Solomon has such an issue with the bill, then he, could ask for a new one, however, since he made a thread basically stating that most people would do this, then I was merely pointing out that I was the "one percent" that wouldn't. My pointing out abt the bank was to show Solomon that there was a way to resolve the torn/tattered bill since it sounded like the cashier wasn't giving him a better bill. That was my understanding, am I correct? Solomon was NOT given a better bill? If she didn't give him a better bill I was merely stating what he could do to resolve the issue.

Also, since Solomon went back to the place that same day, I believe, he could have talked to the manager, that would have worked.

WHERE DID I GIVE SOLOMON A HARD TIME? He asked for opinions and I gave it to him, the same way I always do it. If he doesn't see it as complaining, why should you?

Nice short post. :rolleyes: Where were you giving him a hard time? :lol: Just read your answers to him. You even blamed him at one point, laughed at him. Telling him to tape it up and take it to the bank. :lol: Why should I care?, because I'm giving my opinion because I'm allowed to. I believe Solomon did get a new bill but that's not the point. The honest reply from you, and not the usual ballbuster replies you dish out to Solomon would have been something like this.

Solomon, that clerk was way out of line. I worked in retail and never gave out bad bills. However if one of the employees working for me ever gave a customer a bill torn in half and then gave the customer a hard time when they asked for a better bill, they would be in big trouble. You have every right to a bill that's in one piece. I would call the store manager if I were you. That clerk was wrong. I personally don't care if I get a bill torn in half (yeah right), but you do care. If you get no results from the manager then call the store headquarters.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! He asked for a new one, which I've never done. I take the money as is, I could careless if it's torn or ripped. I've never ever in my life asked for another bill.

Saying the same things over and over to you doesn't help at all. You refuse to see my point. So I'm typing this one last time and hopefully it'll seep in. Yes I hate it when money is balled up and crinkled, it's hard to count that way. BUT I WOULD STILL TAKE IT and NOT ask for another. If it's ripped I WOULD STILL TAKE IT AND I WOULDN'T ASK FOR ANOTHER. I never said in my post that I would ask the cashier for another bill. The whole point of this thread was about Sol getting a ripped 5 and he asked for another one from the cashier. That's something that I would never do.

The whole point of this thread was about Sol getting a ripped 5 and he asked for another one from the cashier. That's something that I would never do.
You're the one having a problem getting something to seep in.

Yes or no. Do you HATE bills that are torn in half?

EDIT: Do you HATE bills that are torn almost to the middle?

I have never received a bill torn in half. I have received tattered or torn bills, but never have I received one ACTUALLY TORN IN HALF. Solomon says it was partially torn in half, that is different than TORN IN HALF. Torn in half is two pieces separately. I just don't get why if Solomon is an adult, two other adults have to defend him?

He made a thread and a few of us said we wouldn't care less abt the bill we received.

As for mocking/laughing at Solomon, that is nothing new. He doesn't take it personal, why should you? As Solomon has stated to me and Brie on numerous occasions, "you're my girl"...NUFF SAID.

Let Solomon say whatever he wants. I'm me and I'm posting my opinion. With me this has nothing to do with Solomon. It could be anyone that you and your shadow are ragging on. You think the two of you are the only ones who can speak your minds? Think again.
"Ripped almost to the middle" Happy now? Let me ask you this and please no books in return. Back in your retail days. If you saw an employee give a bill to a customer that was ripped almost to the midde, and the customer requested a different bill. If the employee copped an attitude with that customer. What would you do, as manager?
Do not go off on a detour here Irene, please just answer the question. It's a straightforward question and a straightforward answer would be nice.

My employees who worked under me NEVER gave out a bad bill. As I explained I never put bills like that in the register. IF THEY RECEIVED ONE FROM A CUSTOMER, they were instructed by me to put it aside or give it to me. No one who worked for me ever gave out a bill like that.

NOW, let's say for arguments sake that a customer did ask for a better bill, whether it was from me or my employees, THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED. No fuss or issue. It's too petty to argue over. No bad bills should be given to anyone bottom line.

What Solomon should have done was TALK TO THE MANAGER. Plain and Simple. How hard is that? Especially if the cashier is giving "attitude" as he stated she gave him. That is not right.

I am not arguing with you Cranky. Hypocrisy was pointed out and that is all I responded with, nothing else. This was taken elsewhere.

Bingo! It was like pulling teeth but I got my answer. Solomon was right and you agree. Thank you Irene.

Right, but the thread is abt how we would react in that situation. I wouldn't care abt the bill. That is petty, bottom line. I am in that ONE PERCENT THAT SOLOMON POSTED ABT.

Gotcha. But you agree that Solomon was mistreated by the Dunkin Donuts clerk with the bad attitude, he had every right to a bill not torn almost to the middle. As manager, you were against giving torn bills to customers. As manager, you would never tell the customer to tape up the torn bill or take it to the bank, you would politely give him a replacement bill, and I'm assuming the rude clerk would be in trouble. That's all I wanted to hear. Thanks again Irene.

Exactly. But as a customer, money is money, just give it to me so I can leave. It will end up in my purse all crumpled and torn anyways, so I could care less.

Obviously Solomon should have spoken up to the manager. No one should give a customer attitude, regardless if it is abt money, product or anything else. But that is not what Solomon was asking, he asked if WE WOULD REACT THAT WAY, nothing else.

Gee Irene I thought this was settled. That was Solomon's original question but you know it went way beyond that, way beyond "nothing else". Did you stick to the original question and nothing else? I was addressing the other comments made by you and others, blaming Solomon, telling him basically he was making a big deal out of nothing, telling him to tape it up or take it to the bank. Stuff like that. How many people just gave their opinion on what they would do in his situation? Not many. When people give opinions, they have to expect to get opinions back.

It was settled. I realized only after that I had basically repeated my previous post. I thought my first post didn't go through. I hate that, then you have to post again. :lol:

Then, I wasn't sure what I had posted or if I used your quote and something else came to mind as I was typing, so you can easily see I went on and on.

"you're my girl"...NUFF SAID.

I love it when they copy me!! Just goes to show how much they fantasize about me!!:D I'm gonna have to make a trip to Cali and look you up Irene!!! Maybe get you to wear the french maid outfit!!!

Man, are we STILL on this topic!? :rofl: I'm also :rofl: at the thought of Irene donning a French maid outfit. In a GOOD way, Irene!! *ducks*

Sorry I missed this debate, had to go to school. But Irene I totally agree. That's exactly what I've been trying to say.

And we wouldn't expect any less from you.:rolleyes: I wonder if independent thought is possible between you two.......:lol: :lol:

If you read my post you would see that, that's what I have been saying from the beginning.

Saying the same things over and over to you doesn't help at all. You refuse to see my point. So I'm typing this one last time and hopefully it'll seep in. Yes I hate it when money is balled up and crinkled, it's hard to count that way. BUT I WOULD STILL TAKE IT and NOT ask for another. If it's ripped I WOULD STILL TAKE IT AND I WOULDN'T ASK FOR ANOTHER. I never said in my post that I would ask the cashier for another bill.

Do you HATE bills that are torn almost to the middle?

Don't miss this one Brieannas.

I wouldn't mind it if the bill is torn half way in the middle (said that from the beginning). I hate it when Bills are balled up and crumpled because it's harder to read read them. I use to be a cashier in my teens and I've received torn, wet, pieces missing all kind of bills. But I hated it when people would hand me balled up crumpled bills.

You'll say anything during the course of a debate or a discussion. You expect people to believe that you HATE crumbled up bills (your words), but you have no problem with a bill torn almost to middle. That doesn't pass the laugh test. At least Irene was honest. I don't suppose it could be that you posted that you HATE crumpled bills because it was Irene's thread. Since you constantly harp away away at Solomon of course you had to be your usual disagreeable self on his thread. What a joke and not a funny one.

It's all because you're waiting for me to say something that YOU want to hear. I could care less if you think that I'm being honest or not. I've said the same things from the beginning and nothing has changed.

Nope just waiting for you to say something that's believeable but that's not gonna happen anytime soon. I think you were being honest on Irene's thread, but Solomon's thread, well anyone with a brain can see the deal here.

Brieanna's theory on money. Crumpled money, BAD. Torn money, GOOD. :lol:

My opinion, if everyone gave back a ripped bill, which someone would spend in five minutes anyway, that's a lot of money not being spent! It's all good money that poor people would happily choose.
