One Excited Teenage McDonald's Cashier!

Hey guys,

Just thought I would share this great story with you all. You know how McDonand's fast food restaurants have a dollar menu? Well, I wanted two plain double hamburgers, no cheese, mustard, ketchup or anything on them, so I told the young teenage cashier that I wanted two double hamburgers, totally plain, just meat and bun. So the cashier says "Okay, that'll be $2.12" (Michgan sales tax is $0.06 on the dollar) So, I slap down two Ikes on the counter along wirth a dime and two pennies, and the teen cashier shouts "Oh my God!! This is so awesome! I haven't seen any of these in a very long time!" Then he said "I need one more dollar" and I said "Huh?! You mean they raised the price of the burgers a dollar?" :rollling: and the cashier said "No, but these are 50 cent pieces" and I said, "No they're not. They're dollars. 50 cent pieces are way smaller" and I showed him the back of one of the Ikes and pointed out and said "See? It says "One Dollar" on it" and and the cashier runs over to where the cooks give him the food and shouts "Look what this guy gave me! Two big $1 coins!" and a girl in back said, "He "gave" them to you?" and the cashier said "Well, no. He just used them as change" Then I told the cashier "They are fairly rare, but sometimes banks "do" have them on hand. I get them whenever I can. And sometimes I spend them, because they are "still" only worth a dollar" So the cashier gives me my burgers, tells me to nave a nice night, then I left for the parking lot.

But the story doesn't end there, because, before I left the parking lot, I checked my burgers and they had cheese on them. So I go back into the McDonald's, and said "These have cheese on them, and I wanted "no" cheese" and the cashier said "You wanted cheese, but there was no cheese on the burgers?" then a lady says "He wants two cheese burgers?" and the cashier said "I think so" and I said "No, no! I wanted them "without" cheese" :rollling: and the woman told the cashier "You're supposed to put these stickers on the wrappers if they are plain" Then I joked around with the cashier. I said "What? You guys were so shocked by the dollar coins that you messed up my order?" and we all just laughed about it. And the woman in back was saying "Do I gotta teach you guys how to cook?"


But, dang! Thinking two HUGE Eisenhower Dollars are halves? This cashier might think a half was a quarter, and I would not even want to get into that issue with him with a Susan B. Anthoy Dollar. But I mean, come on. Halves are way smaller than Ikes.

This was all very entertaining, seeing this teenager get so shocked over the "50 cent pieces" and I can only imagine how much more excited he got, when he found out that those "50 cent pieces" were actually old large dollars. I wonder if he or anyone else will be purchasing then from the till after shift.

Cool man. Yeah, its fun to mess with people by giving them coins not really worth anything but let them see what are still coins in this country. I used to order a stack of $2 from the bank every once in a while in the 90's, back when you could still find older ones in stacks, and just spend the 1976 issues. You can really mess with people by paying in $2 bills.

 

What about giving him a bunch of 2 cents

 

I must admit, since I have read of a few people here doing this type of thing, carrying Kennedy's, Ike's, SBA's, and 2 dollar bills to give out during everyday transactions, I have loaded my purse with the same. My intentions are great when I get there, anywhere, but then when I get to the part that requires me to actually 'hand them over', I just haven't been able to make myself do it!

I'll start tomorrow. Maybe.

Nice story, Drago!

Keep going and using obsolete currency, next use halves, then $2 bills, suzies and the whatnot. Then go spend morgans and peace dollars until you escalate to using a $2.50 gold piece

 

Lets not go overboard spending silver dollars now. lol

But it is fun to use coins you don't see everyday. I have seen cashiers look at the coins like its something foreign, until I explain what it is to them.

 

I like to hand cashiers canadian cents and see if they notice, most of the time they do not.

 

Cool story bro :thumb:

 

Man, that is cool !

I called the DMV and asked for directions to the new one. The gal told me the cross streets and the address. I asked her if that was on the South side of the street. She said "that depends on which direction you are coming from" !

Honets ! I did NOT make this up.

I want to do this, but check this article out. Poor guy was cuffed for his $2 bills.

Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”

Actually, I think it's more a sign of general stupidity. Hopefully, the appropriate apologies were handed out.

 

Haha a few months ago I got a bag from the bank with about 150 Ikes. I went to a del taco, ordered some things and gave them the ikes to pay for the burritos. The cashier (a man in his 20s) said "oh don't think we can take these, do you have any real money?"

I facepalmed and told him to ask his manager about them and she obviously accepted the money. However I think I like the reaction to your mcdonalds kid more, at least he knew they were real money lol.

 

Best Buy: your one stop shop for being sold fake I Pads and going to jail for trying to pay your bill.

My wife is a 1st grade teacher who has tried to teach kids how to count change. Most cannot because their parents do all transactions with credit cards. Currency and change may go away in our lifetime

 

Reminds me of my kindergarden teacher. She had a big cookie jar filled with change. One day dumped it out made a photo copy of the change all laid out and said whoever can count it all correctly wins a prize.

Well you damn skippy I won me a prize that day

 

You should always pay for your meals at Mickey D's with $2 bills. That's how a guy in Baltimore made a bundle by suing Mickey D's and the Baltimore Police Department for unlawful arrest.

Can you still get $2 bills from the bank?

 

Funny story. I will bet someone will buy them out of the register at end of the shift and probably for 50 cents too. :smile. I guess we cannot expect people born in the 1990s to recognize coinage from the 1970s, unless they collect. . TC

 

Just ask next time you go in... you may be surprised. In fact, I've never been told that they DON'T have any. So I always get twenty bucks worth, along with Ikes and any halves they might have.
