Oh the money I could make if I didn’t have morals. It turns out some people really are that dumb.

        I’m from Vancouver, Canada. Waaaaaay back, the Canadian dollar was up on the American, and the local classic rock dj called a Walmart in Texas to ask if he could buy a bbq with Canadian dollars. The lady on the line’s response was basically this. I think I remember it verbatim, but I could be off a bit:

        Honey, we only take American dollars here…so why don’t you go back to Canadia and exchange your fake money for real ones, come on back and you can get a bbq.

            Yeah. I don’t expect to use USD in the middle of nowhere France or Germany when Euros exist. The exchange rate doesn’t really matter: the store isn’t equipped to take that currency.

              Here in Michigan, we don’t blink about taking Canadian pennies because they are common and banks take them. In Texas, I wouldn’t expect that.
