  • As I have previously mentioned, I totally understand that it can be frustrating to be unable to use large bills if you have them on you. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t revolve around you specifically. Smaller stores and businesses aren’t always able to take on the risk of counterfeits, nor are they able to constantly make bank runs every other day to refill the tills. Are you saying, in 2023, you’d rather walk out of a store than use the plethora of other payment options at your fingertips? Contactless, smartphones, debit/credit cards, smaller bills, gift cards?


  • Gas stations, convenience stores, and small businesses are common targets of scams and counterfeit currency. It’s important to take that into account too as it relates to possible losses. Also, the fact that we just generally have less change available in our registers compared to larger businesses. It’s not that uncommon to see locations like this refuse larger bills as a result. I fully understand being annoyed at this at big box / larger chain stores and businesses, of course.
