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.

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.

Max Whittaker · 03-26-2007, 11:36 AM

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.

Dusty's Fan · 03-26-2007, 12:33 PM

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.

gilligan fanatic · 03-26-2007, 04:07 PM

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.
