Think BIG...

Man Jailed for Trying to Pass $1M Bill
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Change for a million? That's what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.

I mean, any idiot can fake a $20 or even a $50. But if you're gonna set yourself up to do hard time in the Federal pokey, why not go for the big score?

Apparently the lessons of Wal-Mart are soon forgotten...

When I worked at McDonald's (first job, a hundred years ago..), it was policy that all 50's and 100's could only be accepted and changed by a manager.

Even though I frequently counted change back without the assistance of a cash register, it was the rule.
