Thank you, Carol!!

Just reading this, I can't bring myself to believe ANY shop owner with as many years under their belt as this one has woulld knowingly jeopardize their business reputation over a hundred dollar bill.

I feel badly for the OP but having already read about the incidents of unsuspecting bank personnel unwittingly handing out these bogus bills to other patrons over the past week or so, I'd be far more inclined to believe that's where the problematic hundred came from. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
