Some people don't know that two dollar bills are real, so when Mike Bolesta used over 50 of them to make a purchase at a Best Buy store, an encounter with the police and Secret Service ensued. In this clip from The Two Dollar Bill Documentary, see the story of what happened when a cashier was unsure of the quirky currency.

All the time.
Local pigs are often in the pocket of big biz and work as their muscle.

Forget the $2 bill, since when does Best Buy utilize the local police in collecting accounts receivable?

I wasn't referring to the $2 bills, I was referring to "we got a call threatening us with the police if we didn't come in and pay the bill". At that point I would tell them to go fuck themselves and hang up.

I guess they care about forgery, which is what the dumb-asses thought was going on.

Well, if you're too dumb to know which bills exist and which don't, you're dumb enough to call the cops when you should be calling a lawyer.
And if you're a cop who is too dumb to know which bills exist and which don't, you're dumb enough to tell callers who call you about unpaid shit that you'll handle it.

This would never happen in Western Washington.

We can always tell who has been on a ferry and paid cash, because the ferries are the only ones who ever give $2 bills in change.

(Although with credit card rewards being what they are these days, few people pay cash anymore....)
