No love for the $2 bill

When did we become snobs and not accept money? I can think of a few scenarios:

* Your name is Bill Gates and enjoy pies being crushed in your face.
* Your sibling, who has no job, offers to give you $40 he got from a lottery ticket for repayment on all those times you took him out to dinner. Mind you, you have accepted the sunk cost a long time ago and never expect repayment because you are playing the role of the oldest. Or you are just a cheapskate douchebag and skeet every time you can get pennies deposited into your checking account.
* You are doing your job and cannot accept tips.

Well after a full day's work, I decided to return a defective wardrobe system at IKEA in Paramus. Did that and picked up a replacement (nice 110 lbs). I decided that since it was getting late I should get dinner. I drive to the Co-Op City Popeye's drive through and the balance is $34.00. Depsite they didn't have spicy chicken (the new rule: never go to Popeye's after 5pm) I gave one 10s, three 5s, seven 1s and one 2 dollar bill. The drive through cashier tried to give me grief and refuse my cash denomination:

"Sorry we don't accept this [pointing to a $2 bill] here. Only singles."
"But why? It's money. It's not fake. Where is the si..."

And she went back spoke to her manager and accepted the cash. I got my 16 piece family meal and other trinkets and went on my way.

Foolish gunto banchote.
