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.



Do you think a simple pen can prove 100% validity of US currency???? I'm sorry buddy but you can easily get around the pen. Its so easy, actually, that the pen can be fooled with certain types of over the counter hairsprays.

So I'm sorry, but YES, the pen can be proved to work incorrectly.

When one is unsure or unequiped to perform a task, they call someone who can. The store probably would have never questioned a thing if the man were not purposly an assh*le. He did it to himself and has no grounds for suit...

Fake money is out there. I've seen it, felt it, and even swipped it with the bloody little pen. A store down the road form me gets fake attempts on a nightly basis...

I'm sorry, but last time I checked, I opened a business to make money, not to get f*cked...
