If you are in an urban area where crime is much higher it ONLY makes sense (although not as much now with the higher gas prices). The reasoning behind this is to keep the till as low as possible. Less money in the till, less chance of robbery and hence less chance of someone that is getting paid minimum wage getting their head blown off for a hundred bucks.

I always took that $100 even though it was posted as not acceptable. NOW it&#039;s in my possession. </p><p>This means you WAIT until I have enough change to complete the transaction.</p><p>Had a guy pull that on me once for $5 worth of gas. He got his change. 95 singles and I counted them twice. It was near closing time and that was all I had in my till. Made checkout a lot easier with the 100 though!</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line is this. People can complain about what a retailer should take all day but retailers have to consider employee safety. Many retailers do not want more than $100 TOTAL in the drawer at any given time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bonnie and Clyde could roll in for some gas at any time.
