i hate to be an ass, but you're pretty dumb if you took ALL those twenties and DIDN'T even look at them or feel them (to check for the raised ink) even if he was a buddy.
sooo pretty much friend or not, you are getting what you deserve for being a careless sales associate...

crash course in checking old bills:

INK - rub the bill against a piece of paper. If the ink that rubs off is the same color as the bill, you're good. If the colors don't match FAKE.
RAISED INK - run your fingers along the BIG 20 on the front of the bill. It should feel bumpy and not as smooth as the rest of the bill. If you can't feel this clearly it means one of two things: the bill is fake or just worn.
FINE DETAILS - Check the rings in the eyes of the gentlemen or lady on the bill. You should be able to see ALL the lines in the drawing clearly and they shouldn't blur together. Also, the wavey lines in the background of the bill should be minature corresponding numbers to match the bill worth. They should be clear and not blurry either.
HOLOGRAM - The top left with the hologram should ALWAYS shine two colors. Bend the bill at an angle where you would be able to see this.

now, if you ever take a fake old bill again, it better be DAMN good.

1. they can't really fire you for taking in fake money. (everyone makes mistakes.)
2. how the fuck did she know it was your friend again? unless you guys have cameras up in the motherfucker, they can't do shit to your friend either.

She's just threatning you to get her money back!

[hardstylin]

[Pennywise]

shitty deal!


next time around...look twice!

[galaxie]

First of all, tell your manager it's HER fault for not teaching you how to detect counterfeit bills.

Secondly, she cannot fire you for accepting counterfeit bills as 1) there is NO proof it was your friend, and 2) you had not been trained how to detect them.

If she DOES fire you, file a grievance with EI.

PM me for details.

Also, I'm surprised you work lets you ring in your own friends. At my store, if one of our friends comes into the store we have to let our manager know (well, it's pretty obvious when family and friends come in) and someone else has to ring them in. Not only is it probably better, because you're going to chat with your friends more when making a sale but it also saves your butt in instances like this...because honestly, to your manager it probably doesn't look so good.

Babiface didn't mention that he doesn't know how to detect counterfeit bills either. But it's common knowledge that they are out there and if someone came in and paid with 11 $20 bills I wouldn't look away because not too many people pay cash for sales that much (generalization, but it's not seen that often).
