[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 406579, member: 8012"]According to the business law class I took in high school many moons ago, if you offer (I think the legal term is proffer) payment and it is refused, you are discharged of the debt and you have paid. In that HS class, the teacher used the example of two people going to a small town movie theatre right when it opens for the night and giving a $100 bill to pay for two tickets. Of course, the cinema doesn't have change (this was back in the 70's!!) and they have to let you in. Nowadays, I think there is the "letter" and the "intent" of the law. So technically, each case would be considered individually. Was the payment offered "usual" and acceptable under the circumstances, etc. etc. etc.[/QUOTE]
