Is it normal to refuse money

A lot of people fake 100.00 bills or they don't keep enough change. Do yourself a favor and get smaller bills next time at the bank.

I stopped carrying $100's unless I'm going to make a multi-hundred dollar purchase.

For ligitimate security reasons most small businesses rarely have change for anthing larger than a $50, and will only do that on rare occasions.

The clerks are trained that as soon as the value in the till exceeds say $50, that they drop a certain amount into the safe - which they cannot open (it has a drawer that takes a deposit envelope and dumps it into the safe). Only the store Manager and one other person usually has the ability to open as safe.

I do carry $50's. But for small purchases I have $20's and whatever is lesser than that in my wallet.

Sorry, this one is on you. They will take cash. You just have to have cash that is not more than $20 over the purchase price.

Someone has been pretty bored lately and doing a lot of trolling on here. 🤣

You again

It's not the cashiers choice to not take bills higher than 20, that's a decision made by people in corporate, and rules like that are put in place for multiple different reasons; first of all, if the store gets robbed, the robber won't be able to steal hundreds of dollars as and get away as easily, and because a lot of people counterfeit larger bills and if someone were to pay with a counterfeit 100 or 50 the store could take a massive loss.

The resturaunt or gas station workers aren't trying to be difficult and inconvenience you, they're just people doing their job and following orders from their higher ups.

You seem to have a very skewed view of other people based on your post. You need to realize these people you talk to are real human beings trying to do a job to get by, and they don't exist soley to serve you, nor are you above any of those people.

I've worked in food service for 6 years and you seem like the exact type of out of touch, self absorbed customer me and my coworkers would make fun of all the time behind their backs. You need to grow up and realize the world does not revolve around you.

stop buyin pizza in the hood

Besides, by 2050 or sooner, we will probably be a cashless society.

100.00’s are hard for people to break or make change. I’d suggest going for 50.00’s instead.

Keep one card on you that has a $100 or $200 limit on it. When you have a small purchase and they can't/won't take your money, use the card. Send your $100 bill back to the bank each payday to pay off the card, no interest charge that way.

Matter of fact the pizza place will make less on your purchase because most CC companies charge a 2 or 3% handling fee. That's your revenge against them.

So the pizza cost you less and you donate a little bit of change to helping employ other people. You did your good deed for the day. From the sound of your post, you don't go out of your way to help others anyways. Now you can say you're a good and thoughtful person.

It says on the money that it is legal tender. If they have an issue with that just take back your money and leave. Then go somewhere else to get your pizza. There are way too many pizza shops to worry about them.

You keep doing the same thing and keep getting the same result, anyone with even the smallest amount of common sense would have worked it out by now. Carry smaller denomination bank notes.

For your information the customer is not always right. Management put policies in place for the greater good of their business. That sometimes means arrogant and insignificant customers, ones like you for example, find their custom refused for the greater good of the business needs. But hey ho, you go right ahead and carry on getting turned away from the pizza take away with no food. I’m sure they have plenty of other customers and you’re the only one going away hungry!
