Reply #11: I had a twenty that the gas station manager said was a fake - [View All]

And he handed it back to me.

They have installed new machinery to determine if a bill is counterfeit or not.

the machinery noticed a slip of a ballpoint pen on the bill (just a thin short line of a pen) - that set the machinery on "reject" mode.

Both of the assistant managers said that the manager should accept my bill as payment, as the new machinery is too sensitive.

I went across the street and used the twenty dollar bill there, no problem.

What was scary about all of this is until three years ago, I worked late nights.

This is the only gas station in town open after 9:30 Pm. So if this had happened to me then, I might have ended up having to sleep in the car.
