Counterfeit Cash

October 29, 2009

One night I had a group of foreigners who were actually really cool. Through the whole meal they were really polite and nice to me. As they paid the check they even asked me about the tipping standards in the U.S. because they were unfamiliar and wanted to make sure I was compensated properly. They handed me the check and said they didn’t need cash back so I went to process the payment, as I looked at what they left I immediately realized the three fifties they left for payment were all fake. I didn’t have the heart to tell them myself that they had gotten screwed over where ever they had exchanged their money so I sent my manager over. I watched from the wings as my super nice table went through all the cash they had on them realizing it was all fake. I have never felt so bad for a table. We ended up comping the bill for them because they didn’t have the money to pay, I didn’t even care about my tip.

Sometimes you gotta feel bad for people takin’ down the river in a foreign country.

Um, I think you got played. Where were they from? Most countries have credit/debit cards that work just fine in the US.
