Me: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"

Server: "I don't know."

Me: "See here where it says legal tender?"

Server: "Yeah."

Me: "So, why won't you take it?"

Server:
"Well, hang on a sec."

He goes back to his manager, who has been watching me like I'm a shoplifter, and says to him, "He says I have to take it."

Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?"

Server: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change "

Manager: "I'm not opening the safe with him in here."
Server: "What should I do?"

Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money."

Server: "I can't tell him that! You tell him."

Manager: "Just tell him."

Server:
"No way! This is weird. I'm going in back."

The manager approaches me and says, "I'm sorry, but we don't take big bills this time of night."

Me: "It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two dollar bill."

Manager: "We don't take those, either."

Me: "Why not?"

Manage

funny

As a young non-US-resident I must say... OMG THEY DO EXIST!!! 0.0

I was surprised to see them too! When I first went to the USA I heard people say things like: "He's as crooked as a two dollar bill." Strange..

I have a $3 bill that has Bill Clinton's portrait on it.
Yeah, its not real but the $2 bill most certainly is.
Look at a bank deposit slip that shows denominations

Lol, no wonder they work at a fast-food establishment.
