So last night, I was craving a double whopper and decided to hit up my local burger king and get some grub. Went to the bank, withdrew $100 from the ATM and went to get my whopper. Pulled thru the drivethru, gave them my order, and proceeded to the window. I hand the kid (which happened to be of central american decent, most likely mexican) a twenty and noticed it was an old school $20 bill which I havent seen in a while... the mexican in the window looks at it, looks at it some more, holds it up to a light, looks at it even more, and you guessed it, just looks at it for an entire 45 seconds... then I see him take the $20 bill over to what appeared to be yet another mexican, which happened to be the manager... so im like WTF is going on here... theres another girl in the window, and yet again, she's mexican. I say outloud "Havent you guys ever seen an old $20 bill before?!" And she looks at me and throws a bunch of sluggish english words at me that I couldnt understand and says "It might be fake"... so I LOL'd (hence why I say i got $100 out of the bank, cuz thats where i got it from). So the kid walks over to me and says "We no accept this, it fake" ... so, before I even thought about cussing up a storm, I made sure my baggie was in sight... this way, I can show my anger without finding a used condom in my whopper deluxe, and I said (language and all) "Are you ****ing kidding me!" So I yank the $20 bill from him, turn on my interior lights and hold it up and notice that little security tape inside the bill, hand it back to him and said "Are you ****ing blind? It's real, do you not see the security tape in there"... so he shrugs his shoulders and the manager walks over and this is how the convo went...

Manager: "We no accept this dollar bill. You have another?"
Me: "That's not the ****ing point, I handed you a legit $20 bill that I JUST withdrew from an ATM machine"
Manager: "It no look real"
Me: "Were you living in America for at least 10 years?"
Manager: ***long pause***
Me (talking to kid who received my $20 the first time): "How about you, how long have you been living here??"
Mexican kid: ***long pause***
Me (talking to the girl) "How about you?!"
***Girl walks away***
Me: "Ok, so, before you call MY AMERICAN dollar fake, maybe you should learn what the current and recent AMERICAN dollars look like before you work at a cash register."
Manager: "We no argue with you. You have real $20?"
Me: "Call the cops down here so he can confirm it's real, and I better not have my ****ing sandwich cold either"
***Long Pause***
Me: Gimme back my money. Here's a CURRENT $20 bill before my sandwich gets cold cuz I really dont feel like waiting for a cop. Id rather call your manager and have you fired instead."
***Kid gives me change, and food while staying silent***



Moral of this story: I have nothing against spanish people, but when someone doesnt know that an old $20 bill isnt counterfeit, should not be working at a place that handles cash... I was so pissed off that I didnt even enjoy my ****ing sandwich....
