THEY AREN'T THERE TO BELIEVE EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS INTO THE DOOR AND OFFERS THEM MONEY.

God forbid we actually question the validity of such a thing as MONEY!!!!!! Fake money is EVERYWHERE and I for one am not going to get screwed over by some assh*le guy whose mad because he didn't get his sterio installed for free. This has nothing to do with the fact that they said somthing and then went back on their word. This has everything to do with a store being cautious of the money they are presented.

The store had every right to call the police and have them validate the funds. BB probably gets f*cked over every day by fake money assh*les. If the cashier and manager were unable to correctly see if the money was real or not, then they call the police and see if they can do it.

But you know I suppose the store is just supposed to have faith and trust in the customer....I mean of course people never attempt to steal or screw over stores...




It has nothing to do with trusting the customer, they used a friggin counterfeit pen on the bills! Those pens are not wrong, they either turn dark black or stay yellow. Dark black means fake bills. Since they are real they would not turn black. Very simple, even you and Best Buy cashiers should be able to understand it.

And no, stores don't get screwed all the time. The RadioShack I work at has had 1 bad $20 bill since my manager started working there 26 years ago. We check the bills and the bank checks them too so we would know.

What BestBuy and the police did to this guy was seriously BS. I am 99% in favor of giving the police the benefit of the doubt but there were serious mistakes on both parts, possibly even malicious on BestBuy's part because they were pissed at the guy to begin with.

I for one will not shop at BestBuy anymore if the story presented here is true and was really the way things went down.

All of this "he was humiliated and needs to sue" crap is so typical of this day and age. How about the companies that loose money on a daily basis because of fakes??? Does anyone care about that???? Its just like insurance...people file false claims and get freebees off the BIG BAD INSURANCE COMPANY...But the second their premiums go up, the same people who filed those claims start b*tching...THE REASON THE PREMIUMS GO UP IS BECAUSE OF THE FALSE CLAIMS!!! Maybe like the reason stores are getting so tight about fake money is because they get screwed all the time??????



If companies are losing money on a daily basis because of fakes it's their own damn fault. Not taking blame away from the counterfeiters, but they can check the money before they take it too. There is no "getting tight" about calling the cops on this guy. Hell there are even machines that you can run the bills through that will tell you if they are fake. That elminates the retard cashier that can't tell black from yellow.
