Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 21, 2009

One can’t be too cautious….

I second that, Gweedo.

Counterfeit!

Gweedo, you can buy those pens at office supply stores, you know.

…. Check the color of the bill, Baldo ……

carry a debit card, it may be a little safer

At least she knew what money was. My hubby recently went to the store and handed when given the total (about $5) he held out a $20 bill. The cashier gave him an odd look and turned the credit card machine to him. It took a couple of minutes for him to convince her that he wanted to pay cash.

Eh, something seriously wrong–I didn’t see any coins in any of the pictures!

Oooh, even Baldo the customer wants to make sure he’s not gettin’ jipped out of the clerk. I’m sure she doesn’t mind if he uses that li’l lamp too.

If you want to have some fun, when the total comes to $13.85, hand the cashier a $20 and after she enters the amount tendered, say, “Oh, here’s a nickel.” Usually you get a “deer in the headlights” look.

try a store that the electronics have just gone out……in this case the registers worked…me and a couple other older folks “tought” the cashiers how to count up.

This is a good one, guys. See, it works both ways–how do we know what the cashier gives us in return is real? We don’t have a “scanner.” LOL!
