The grocery store I worked at had a rule that we weren’t to accept anything over a $20 bill. That rule often got bent a bit by some of my coworkers when the grocery bill exceeded $50, but some of us (like myself) hard-lined that $20 rule. It encouraged people to quit using us like a bank.
And things are getting worse. My bank’s ATM will try to dispense $100 bills as default. If you’re getting more than $100, you can’t use the “quick cash button” and have to go though extra button presses to get all $20s. It’s because more cash is being withdrawn, but the ATMs cash vault is limited in size.
My friend owned and operated small, take-out only, coffee shop. She said that people would come in, buy a can of soda, and pay with a $50.00.
This happens a lot. Then the customer gets mad because he now has to haul all that change around. :/
This is why i wish my store would not accept 50’s or 100’s unless the purchase is more than that.
Indeed, on the rare occasions I have a 100 or a 50 to spend, I’ll either break it at a bank, or spend it on something that costs more than about $50.

I’ve actually had banks bark at me over breaking large bills. Any of you have this issue?
