<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 656449, member: 4703&quot;]Sorry, you&#039;re view of the law is wrong.&nbsp; Legal tender is legal tender, and the penalty for refusing it is surrender of the debt.One of our members has my favorite quotation from Abe Lincoln in his sig - the one about calling a tail a leg.&nbsp; Putting up a sign that says &quot;This establishment will not honor the Constitution of the United States&quot; does not relieve the company of the consequences of its act.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said before, if they want to say &quot;we can&#039;t make change for any bills over a certain amount&quot;, they are free to take the customer&#039;s larger bill in payment of the debt, and make the customer wait for change until the company headquarters can make arrangements to obtain it, or with the customer&#039;s consent make change with a check to be issued as soon as it can reasonably be arranged for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I recognize that the practicalities of litigation come into play, and it may be more expensive and time consuming to stand on ones rights than it&#039;s worth.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I assure you that if all I had was a $50, and Denny&#039;s refused to accept it for a $10 tab with my agreement to wait for my change to be mailed in the form of a check, I would walk out and successfully defend any petty theft or fraud charge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
