emy Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Do you think it is strange that I had two customers paying with £50 notes in the same two hours last time I was at work????

Judge Mental Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 We used to get them all the time in the pub at weekends, loads of folk get them if they get paid in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonross46 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I saw my first £50 note at work a few months ago ... I was literally like and the customers wondered why I was like it so I had to explain Only ever seen 2 of them in my lifetime, the other I got from Grandma on my 18th birthday.

Judge Mental Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 We used to get a few £100 notes as well, was a pain in the arse if it was early on a Friday afternoon as you'd start with a £100 float in the till, and have to give back £98 change Back to the office counting out a float for the 2nd time.

simonross46 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 What I find annoying is £5 notes ... people always pay with either a £10 or £20 note (which I can't have too many of) and I always end up giving my £5's away!!! On busy days its not easy to leave the till to go to the cash drawer, and people get p***ed off at me for not having any £5's Long live chip and pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I hate 5ps, they are just bastards, they are too small to hold in your hand, they are impossible to get hold of in your purse even if you DO find something priced in a multiple of 5p!

simonross46 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Small bags of haribo are now 10p at Sainsbury's ... so to reduce weight in your 'purse' you can use two 5p coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emy Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ah good idea, I am going to collect 5ps then go buy something which is a few pounds with them, how annoying would that be for the person to count them!

Number2Fan Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I've done that, I used to do it to pay for fags when I was a bit skint!!! LOL Like last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonross46 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I bought a magazine with 1p's before ... never again I don't mind having a customer pay with change though, aslong as we count it together rather than having to do it twice seperately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I hate 5ps, they are just bastards, they are too small to hold in your hand, they are impossible to get hold of in your purse even if you DO find something priced in a multiple of 5p! Agreed! Bring back the original 5ps! There's three coins I hate - 5ps, 2ps and 1ps. I wish shops would just charge £2 instead of £1.99 - I hate getting pennies in change. Coventry must be worth a small fortune because I just chuck them in the street. As for £50 notes - i've never had one and don't really want one either because hardly anywhere accepts them. Even £20 notes are a pain in the arse at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have had a couple of 50 pound notes but they didn't last long, they soon got broken down.

Sir. I challenge you to prove that £100 notes existed in the United Kingdom during your lifetime! They do not exist! You must prove it with a picture.

Number2Fan Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I wanna video of giving someone 98 pounds change. I'd refuse a two quid item for 100 pound note tbh, I'd just say have-it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Mental Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Only in Scotland and Ireland apparently, didn't know that! Thats probably why I've seen more £50 notes I guess. Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ah see now that IS annoying " FECKING SCOTTISH MONEYARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! " Nobody wants it, once you have it you can't get rid of it, you don't know someone had it until they've already given it to you. No one in England knows if it's for real! IT'S LIKE MONEY AIDS!!!
