"FOR YOUR SAFETY AND OURS......WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT $100 BILLS" - REALLY, FOR MY SAFETY?
DON'T YOU LOVE WHEN COMPANIES TRY TO SOFTEN THE BLOW OF MIND NUMBING RESTRICTIONS BY CLAIMING IT IS FOR OUR OWN GOOD, OR TO PROTECT OUR SAFETY?
HOW IS REFUSING TO TAKE $100 BILLS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MY SAFETY?
TIME FOR ME TO RANT:
I ALSO GET A KICK OUT OF THE ILLINOIS TOLL TAKERS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A HARD TIME DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN COUNTERFEIT $20 BILLS AND REAL BILLS. THEY NEED TO USE THE SPECIAL PEN ON EACH AND EVERY $5, $10 & $20 BILL. THEY DON'T TAKE BILLS LARGER THAN $20 - WHICH THEY PROBABLY CLAIM IS "FOR MY SAFETY"
THE WAIT FOR THE ANTI-COUNTERFEIT PROCEDURE IS A MIND NUMBING 5 SECONDS OF MY PRECIOUS LIFE. I ONLY HAVE 2,051,222,400 SECONDS IN THE FIRST 65 YEARS OF MY LIFE (including 16 leap year days), AND I NEED TO USE THOSE SECONDS WISELY.
MOST OF THE TOLL TAKERS WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, WHICH ARE USED TO PROTECT AGAINST ANY & ALL POTENTIAL CONTAMINANTS (IN MY OPINION - "WEENIE ALERT") ON THEIR HANDS. IF THEY DIDN'T INSIST ON TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR HANDS FROM A POTENTIAL CONTAMINANT, THEY COULD PROBABLY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GOOD & BAD $ 20 BILLS. 99.99999999999999999% OF THE TIME THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FAKE BILL AND A REAL BILL IS THE QUALITY OF THE PAPER. IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE TRYING TO AVOID ACCEPTING A PHONY BILL.
A REAL BILL HAS A HUGE QUANTITY OF COTTON FIBERS IMBEDDED IN IT.
I GUESS I COULD CHOOSE TO BE A WEENIE ALSO (AFRAID OF CONTAMINANTS ON THE MONEY THAT I COME IN CONTACT WITH.) I COULD WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, AND MAYBE A HAZ MAT SUIT MIGHT BE APROPOS. I CHOOSE NOT TO DO THAT.

A SIDE NOTE:
I LEARNED SOMETHING ON THE TV SHOW THE WEST WING.
THE ONLY TOLL BOOTHS THAT WILL TAKE PENNIES ARE THE ILLINOIS TOLLWAY BOOTHS. THE LAND OF LINCOLN SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE COIN WITH PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S IMAGE ON IT.
ON OCCASION, I HAVE GIVEN 5 or 10 PENNIES TO THE TOLL TAKER.
