PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!
Yesterday, we accepted a counterfeit $50 note. Didn’t discover it until after work.
We’ve been making pies since 1985, and now apparently we’re in the business of accepting currency printed at home on an Epson.
A reminder to check those $50s and $100s, folks. We’re happy to take your money, but we draw the line at arts and crafts.
To whoever passed it on, congratulations. You’ve managed to scam a pie shop. I hope the $50 was worth a lifetime of having to explain to St Peter why you went to hell. You have also successfully sold me a $50 lesson in stupidity.
Upon placing the fake side by side with a real one, it’s now easy to see. Maybe the consumer was handed it and don’t know either.
Either way, be vigilant, I’ve been told this s**t is more common than we expect.
