*oh* and if you want to confuse a person....give some of those two dollar bills to a kid in a fast food place My favorite (which I don't do intentionally, it just really bugs me when it happens), is when I give the cashier a bill that's too big, and some additional money. Hypothetical: The bill is $6.78 I give the cashier $22.03 The cashier takes the money, looks at, and freezes. "Uh, sir? This is a 20." "Yes. I know." "But, your bill was $6.78." "Yes. I know." My favorites are the ones who insist on giving me back the two ones, and the three pennies. Then they press "$20" on their register. Then carefully count out the change for the 20. Then, when they try to hand it to me (you have to do this before they close the drawer), I hand them back the two ones, and the three pennies, and say "Now, can I have a ten, a five, and a quarter?" (Don't do this if there's a line behind you.) This is actually very close to a money exchanging scam fast talkers use on slow witted cashiers. Most cashiers are not strong in math sadly, and there was a popular scam at one point where the scammer would buy something small with a fifty/hundred, to break the bill, then when the till was open would offer up additional change to add to the return change to get certain bills back, the exchange would go back and forth a couple times until the customer simply asks for the fifty back. If quick of tongue and the cashier stupid enough, they would in essence talk them out of fifty dollars. Don't be surprised if most cashiers (or at least the ones aware of such scams) give you dirty mistrusting looks when you ask to change monies once the drawer is open.
