'Sometimes they don’t know where to put the $2 bill in the cash register. There’s no slot for one. They might call over the manager.'
This is obviously not the Most Important Point to refute but as someone who has WORKED with cash registers, I have to say he's also stupid and wrong about this, too. There are at least a billion $2 bills in circulation. If you have worked a cash register longer than a couple of months, you've see at least one. If a customer pays with one it'll probably get stuck in the odds drawer (where cashiers keep rubber bands, dollar coins, extra finger covers, whatever) or under the drawer where the checks go. Someone probably isn't going to go 'OMG HELP A $2 CALL THE MANAGER' unless they're two weeks into their first cashiering job, or something. And nobody is going to worry about a counterfeit $2 bill (WTF), the most suspicious bills are the $20 and $100 -- if you try to pay for a small purchase with a $100 bill in a grocery store, yeah, that looks suspicious. Not a $2 one!
