<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 346573, member: 11521&quot;]stainless,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Getting fired from that place may be the best thing that happened to you that day. Sounds like a place that I would not want to work at.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rotobeast makes a good point. (He beat me to it.) Suppose you need some change for the pay phone (if any still exist), juke box, parking meter, etc. Is is a crime to take change out of the till and replace it with an equal amount of currency? As someone else pointed out, the company should primarily be concened with whether the cash in the drawer balances with the receipts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Trade Dollar has be demonetized so it is not legal tender. (If it has been remonetized I am not aware of that.) So technically you should not have accepted it but how many non-collectors would know the Trade Dollar is not legal tender? (Most people have never even heard of a Trade Dollar, much less know its history.) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A different scenario would be if a customer wanted to pay for his bill with something other than money (bartering). If he offered to pay for his $5 tab with a Rolex watch worth $2,000 1) it is probably not your decision to accept this form of payment (your manager would have to make that call) and 2) once the watch has been accepted it belongs to the company so you could not ethically (maybe even legally) take the watch and replace it with a $5 bill.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am siding with stainless on this one. I don&#039;t think he did anything wrong and what he did is no different than a bank teller taking a roll of silver halves and putting a $10 bill in the drawer. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>stainless, in the future you might want to try to be more discrete when doing something like this. The manage may have only seen you putting the coin in your pocket and missed seeing you put the $1 bill in the drawer. If so, he may have thought you were stealing. It&#039;s much better to make that exchange discretely so as to not appear like you are stealing. I probably would have gotten change for a $5 and taken the Trade Dollar and four $1 bills.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You are better of without that job (or so it seems to me).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
