Talking to a workmate on the phone earlier. We've been doing a lot of overtime in the run up to christmas and at this time of year it's almost always for cash.

Same thing happened to me last week in an off license.
The guy behind the counter said he couldn't take it; so i asked him why and i told him to check it (i had only just got it from the ATM).

he said it was probably real but too much of a risk to take.He was nice about it and everything.

I told him to suck my balls and went to another off-e.

Used to happen to me a few times in the offy during the summer. I'd have no change and would have to refuse, nobody got uppy about it thankfully.

I remember my dad found a e500 note in a pub last year which he nearly threw in the bin with the rubbish (he was working there), took him a good while of looking back through video footage but tracked down the owner and returned it a day or two later... who hadn't realised they lost it!
