Got into a verbal scuffle with a manager last night...
 

So last night, I was craving a double whopper and decided to hit up my local burger king and get some grub. Went to the bank, withdrew $100 from the ATM and went to get my whopper. Pulled thru the drivethru, gave them my order, and proceeded to the window. I hand the kid (which happened to be of central american decent, most likely mexican) a twenty and noticed it was an old school $20 bill which I havent seen in a while... the mexican in the window looks at it, looks at it some more, holds it up to a light, looks at it even more, and you guessed it, just looks at it for an entire 45 seconds... then I see him take the $20 bill over to what appeared to be yet another mexican, which happened to be the manager... so im like WTF is going on here... theres another girl in the window, and yet again, she's mexican. I say outloud "Havent you guys ever seen an old $20 bill before?!" And she looks at me and throws a bunch of sluggish english words at me that I couldnt understand and says "It might be fake"... so I LOL'd (hence why I say i got $100 out of the bank, cuz thats where i got it from). So the kid walks over to me and says "We no accept this, it fake" ... so, before I even thought about cussing up a storm, I made sure my baggie was in sight... this way, I can show my anger without finding a used condom in my whopper deluxe, and I said (language and all) "Are you ****ing kidding me!" So I yank the $20 bill from him, turn on my interior lights and hold it up and notice that little security tape inside the bill, hand it back to him and said "Are you ****ing blind? It's real, do you not see the security tape in there"... so he shrugs his shoulders and the manager walks over and this is how the convo went...

Manager: "We no accept this dollar bill. You have another?"
Me: "That's not the ****ing point, I handed you a legit $20 bill that I JUST withdrew from an ATM machine"
Manager: "It no look real"
Me: "Were you living in America for at least 10 years?"
Manager: ***long pause***
Me (talking to kid who received my $20 the first time): "How about you, how long have you been living here??"
Mexican kid: ***long pause***
Me (talking to the girl) "How about you?!"
***Girl walks away***
Me: "Ok, so, before you call MY AMERICAN dollar fake, maybe you should learn what the current and recent AMERICAN dollars look like before you work at a cash register."
Manager: "We no argue with you. You have real $20?"
Me: "Call the cops down here so he can confirm it's real, and I better not have my ****ing sandwich cold either"
***Long Pause***
Me: Gimme back my money. Here's a CURRENT $20 bill before my sandwich gets cold cuz I really dont feel like waiting for a cop. Id rather call your manager and have you fired instead."
***Kid gives me change, and food while staying silent***



Moral of this story: I have nothing against spanish people, but when someone doesnt know that an old $20 bill isnt counterfeit, should not be working at a place that handles cash... I was so pissed off that I didnt even enjoy my ****ing sandwich....

Have you called corporate yet?

- Justin

While I feel bad for your misfortune and agree with you 100% .... I really enjoyed reading that .. :lol:

You betchya. I called the district manager, left a pleasant yet angered voicemail, left my phone number, still waiting for a phone call back.

lol, x2

x3
Its good that you kept your cool there, and didnt go bilistic and get the cops called on you for a different reason
:twisted:

i think i would have walked in after i got my food and took a **** on the counter and tell them "welcome to america"

Cash registers should have those money pens that when you draw a stripe over the bill it should change a certain color.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: shoulda said whats the matter its enough peso

Calling corporate was a good idea. All things considered, I think you kept your cool.

That made my night, thanks.

hahaha...oh man, sorry to laugh at your slight misfourtune Noah.

Sounds like a free round of chicken nuggets for the club should fix this problem!!

You'll get a sorry, a few cupons, they will not say anything to the manager because educating her on customer service and what US dolores look like would be racist.


Had that happen to me once with a 100 dollar bill, it was a series 1990 though, and they didn't put the security strips in till '91, so there was no security strip to look at. The chick REFUSED to use a counterfiet pen on it too. I wanted to punch her right in her mouth.

The Taco Bell sucks near you as well. They thought my buddy's money was too pretty looking and fresh and wouldn't accept it.

Dont even get me started on Paco-Bell....

Those pens don't mean anything. When I worked at the bank we used to make a game out of finding various pieces of cloth and paper and making them pass the pen test. You would be amazed, table cloth, note book paper, sample checks, toilet paper, and many more common materials can all pass as"currency" paper.

x4 great story!

bk in roxbury? if so hahahahahahahahahahahaha i hate them

ya roxbury fast food is rediculous....

lol speaking of taco bell, i was in their today, most of the workers were of asian decent, i was like wtf

LOL aweosme storyyyr!

You'll have to keep this one updated with your results....

If any of you EVER end up in Chula Vista, California....you'll **** the floor.

I went to a McD's down there after a parts run or something. Anyways, I go in....nothing but Messicans all over. I go up to the counter....

THE ****ING MENU IS ALL IN SPANISH !!!!!!!!

(luckily they had numbers, and of course the pictures)

So my turn comes up....I had to wait for someone that spoke ENGRISH....

WTF, over ?

I shoulda bitched about it, but I got my food and left. Never was I down there again....at least at the burrito shops the menu is in ENGLISH...

now that is some grade - A ********! what the **** is wrong with people that they think that WE as Americans have to conform and support the ****ing mexicans....or all illegals for that matter. come to our country that was founded on the english language, every other immigrant came here legally and learned english. why cant these lazy piece of **** mexicans do it? and they get to go on unemployment and still get paid under the table. ****ing ********!

Guess what, the US doesn't have an official language. They could list their menu in Swahili for all they care.

:clap: Noah, you handled that extremely well haha

All I want to know is..... After all that, did you ask for a liter of cola? :D

Lol, I like how you call it a "verbal scuffle."

i enjoyed that too. but just so you know i was prooving out my atm about 3 weeks ago, and we pulled a fake 20 out of the overflow. :lol:
