…WHAT’S WRONG WITH MY BUCKS?
A special adventure with Bucks… No, not this Cuties
from the Blog of Longlifecatsanddogs
I mean this:
My Mom was shopping and would pay her stuff on the checkout. She would pay with a 100 euro bill. BUT!!! The staff of the store doesn’t take the bill without a copy of her passport! Have you ever heart such a bullshit? Why we have this bill if it is useless like a paper shred? Otherwise she got this bill 20 minutes before from an ATM!
Finally my mom paid with her card and after this she had no more desire to buy the really important things like shoes or clothes…(ok, this is not bad… said Dad)
I don’t know what’s going on here since we have this stupid Euro ….
Anyway my mom came home totally pissed, because the power windows of the car striked… they went down but never up… nothing against fresh air in the car, but this was like a mini-tsunami…but her hairstyle was priceless… Oh Boy, I’m happy about my short coat….
We always give at Christmas a little gift to the bank and to our favorite stores… but this year they will get a cheesecake!
The meanest thing ever is: my mom plundered later MY piggy bank and as replacement she gave me the green shred… UNFAIR!
Easy Blog 
That’s ridiculous!
Yes, Misaki – that’s what it is… or my mom was looking like a villain with her windy hairstyle :o))))))
You’re in France Easy, right?
My human noticed when we were still living there that little by little, smaller notes were refused more and more. Like in a couple of years they will refuse the 50 euro notes?
Ah, humans.
Purrs
Yes I’m still in France… maybe the 50 euro bills are worthless soon if they would carry on here…yeah you’re right: huuuuuuuumans….
Well, here at the tran station there’s a place they do take notes higher than 10, even if you are paying 30 euros you pay in 3 of 10 or 6×5 or coins. However, they don’t have a paper saying they don’t take those bills. That that I was in a hurry, needed to take teh train in 10 minutes, decided to buy a sandwich and they refused to take my 20 (I was paying 8.50), they got really mad at me cuz I refused to pay with my card, short story long, they didn’t take my 20, I bit the sandwich and took off. That’ll teach them to at least put a freaking sign.
You are so cool – thanks for my first laugh today!!!! Unfortunately my mom couldn’t chew on all those things, but maybe it is an option to buy only sandwiches from now….
I agree with Doggy’s Dad…..if a shop isn’t going to take certain denominations of bills they ought to SAY SO!!! No wonder your Mom was “in a state” when she came home (not talking about her hairstyle here)! Cheesecake (burp) as a gift for the holiday sounds like a lovely idea……they DESERVE it.
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Yes, Sammy they deserve it! I think, for the bank we give two and we remove all the toiletpaper before HA!
Easy, please tell your mom that whatever she does, do not try the pink 500 notes! No one, not even the banks will take them! This play money is getting ridiculous 😦
I think the case my mom would pay with a 500 note is very rare :o))) maybe no one want this note because it looks like the money of a table dance bar?…. and no, I was never in such a bar :o)))))
That is just crazy! Looks like there will be a lot of cheesecake to go around.
Blessings,
Goose
Oh yes it is… but the good thing is: we know the recipe for the perfect revenge >:o))))
Good golly Easy, that is just ridiculous. Wish you’d had a photo of your Mom after the windows down drive and really hope it doesn’t rain if they won’t go up again. Well done on your clever post – you are officially on my blogroll (whenever I figure out how to do it!) 🙂
Unfortunately we haven’t a pic … better to go into cover, if a human mushroom cloud is entering your crib :o)) I think the blogroll installing would have the same effect….but I cross my paws for this doing…
Easy….I can’t let ya get away with this….don’t ya mean “HEY” Dude????? BOL!!!!!!
Giving everyone at the bank Cheesecake! The evil cheesecake! Love it! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Oh no, where is my ‘Y’? If I found it, I will put it on the right place (maybe the mouse has it?) I will feed them with a mountain of cheesecake …every day…
I’ve taken the “Y” from the note, it is an “ERO” instead of “EYRO” now… hope it doesn’t matter…
I would have breathed fire if a store was like “lol, sorry, you can’t use your physical money here.”
Don’t euros have anti-counterfeit things in them? At the very least, in the US, we have a pen that stays yellow if used on real mnoey, and turns brown if used on anything else. Besides a few different ways of identifying the bill itself.
That’s the question… they said you can’t counterfeit the euro – it would be safe(BOL) … why the store don’t take the bill – crazy…
Looks like CHEESECAKE all round 🙂 Oh your poor Moms had a day of it 😦 Woods of luv’s to have seen the hairdo….xx00xxx
Yeah Mollie, sounds like busy Christmas time….and for the hairstyle: imagine the witch of the west of “The Wizard Of Oz” :o)))
Can Wez have that recipe ??? Wez got a few scores to settle..:) xx00xx
I will post it next time with pics :o)))
Get used to it or take action. It’s gonna happen all over the world. The powers that be want to get rid of cash. They can’t track it, track you or control stuff. When you pay by a card, they know what you’re buying and where.
aaaah, big brother is watching you… that could be the reason …but it is scary to be observed everywere…
OMC! If Kyla is correct, humans are doomed to be forever under bank control….oh, wait…what Mom? Ooohhhhhh…Mom says humans are already under bank control. Oooppps! Cheesecake recipe must be distributed globally! Hurry Easy, publish now! Just sayin’….Savannah
But this is sooo scary, isn’t it? Think for real they deserve much more than only a cheesecake and the aftereffects… Next time we should pay the weekend shopping with 1-cent coins….
Bol Easy ‘Let them eat cheesecake’ and off with thier heads
Best wishes Molly.
yeah cheesecake for lifetime!!!!
I thought money was money! Cheesecake sounds good to me though, let’s eat!
I think the same…they deserve a giant cheesecake!!!
Here in the US a business would never turn down cash…. they might first check to see it’s not fake, but then they’d take it for sure!
They absolutely don’t want the 100 note without a copy of passport, since today they have a handwritten ad on the checkpoint – that’s just crazy…
The shop assistant might have thought that your mom had come from the Almodovar-film Women on the Verge of the Nervous Breakdown: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QqpeMDaeG4U/SwNZrycvMvI/AAAAAAAAFQY/rKwPSVh5VOo/s576/women3.jpg. She/he wanted an autograph but could not remember the actress’s name. Thus, he/she asked for your mom’s passport.
Take the 100 euro bill to the bank, let is change into 1 cent coins, and buy as many piggy banks as needed for them. You will have a huge herd of piggies!
We tried to change the note, but guess what the banker said….’passport please’ . what a freak! He knows us since 14 years… Either we have to change our look to more seriousness or they all are on drugs…
I think they have bought cheese at the same store as your mom. Baking made disappear its psychedelic effects (thus, you and your staff had only problems with your tummies) but the people in the bank and at that shop seem to have eaten raw cheese…
Your mom should make a try with the 100 euro note and with her passport – or rather, YOU should do it with your new driving licence, since you do not have any coordination problems and can run very-very quickly 🙂
BOL, ok the entertainment factor would be priceless but the aftereffects… think it could be a little bit uncomfy :o))))))
BTW: Has the ATM where your mom got this damned note from shown its passport to your mom???
No, it hasn’t …and that’s a very,very good question, we should ask at the bank …
I don’t know why they make the larger notes – same problem here!
That’s the million-bucks-question, clowie….. If you know the answer I hope you will get the million only in small notes BOL
Okay I am still laughing about the priceless hair style 🙂
