[QUOTE="witzend, post: 549091, member: 99"] Here's my "dirty money" story from my old cashier days 25 years or so ago - pre-Purell. It was a late evening in Fred Meyer - think Kroger or Walmart - and I was working the 1 - 10 items lane. The 1 - 10 items lane never stops. We were in a neighborhood that bordered just on the area of downtown/skid row and million dollar mansions. We saw [I]everyone.[/I] So this one night, it's getting on towards closing time, and I could see a very cute teenage girl about four people back and she's got three quarts of malt liquor on the belt. I've got her pegged to ask her for ID. I mean, she wasn't even [I]close[/I] to looking 21 years old. So I'm ready to card her and just about open my mouth to ask for ID when she puts 4 soaking wet dollar bills on the belt and says, "That's pee'd on money, but it's ok." I said, "What?" She says, "That's pee'd on money, but it's ok. You have to take it." I just looked her straight in the eye, disabled the belt, and told her "I have to handle everyone's food and [I]I'm[/I] not [I]touching[/I] pee'd on money. If you want it back you're going to have to pick it up," So she grabs her money, leaves her beers, and stomps off. I figure that's the end of her and get out the windex and clean up the belt and set the beer aside and have someone put them away for me. About 5 minutes later, she is at the back of the line again with her beers. She gets up to me and says in a super snotty tone, "I exhanged my money for clean money with your manager. Are you satisfied now?" I said, "Can I see your ID?" She says, "I don't have any ID, this beer's not for me, it's for my Uncle! He's passed out over there on that bench!" Sure enough, I turn around and way over by the entry door on a bench is a homeless guy passed out, and his pants are soaking wet. I told her "I can't sell [I]you[/I] any alcohol because you're too young, and I can't sell [I]him[/I] any alcohol because he's passed out. Sorry." She cursed me up one side and down the other and [I]actually had the nerve[/I] to complain to my manager that I was rude! My manager was an idiot and figured I could probably have dealt with her better. Seriously? How do you deal with a little girl trying to buy malt liquor who has announced to the entire line of customers that her money is soaking wet with pee for a drunk she's rolled without coming off as a bit elitist?
