My brother sent me a link to a few years old story about a man being arrested at a Best Buy for trying to pay with $2 bills.
Anyway, it got me thinking about the times I've tried to spend my $2 bills. It never goes well. Even had a bank teller look at me odd once for trying to deposit them. Same goes for 50-cent pieces and $1 coins! The cashiers won't listen to you because they don't like being called out as an idiot I suppose.
Along a similar vein, Lowe's once wouldn't accept my beau's passport as photo identification to go along with his check. Funny thing is, to apply for that passport he needed his driver's license and his birth certificate. So in my world, a passport should count at least twice--a double or even triple form of ID.
I feel this post could develop into a heated rant about the state of our public "education" system, but I've got a slew of chores to do. Another time then.
