Depends on how obvious it is that its dodgy...
I hate when that happens, I think its probably quite common in pubs / clubs because its dark and people are drunk!
You could always try getting rid of it, if they say anything say you didnt realise!
a busy pub/club is your best bet, or go buy drugs with it :thumb:
id definatly try and get rid of it tho, fuck being 20 quid down cuz of some cunt!
whats stupid about buying it for a 10er if you know you can get rid of it for 20 ?
tried it at macdonalds when i was pissed, they sent me on my bike but gave the note back. determined not to be £20 down i went to a corner shop, they were on to me, had me on cctv in school uniform ( so pretty easy to track me down) and called the police. ended up just being a free lift home, they searched me there and then, and that was it. they took the note "for investigation"
also had a fake £2 ( i must be unlucky, or theres a business going in the watford area) was late at night and i cooked myself a burger (on of the rustler cheeseburgers mmmm) at the petrol station, before paying for it. the guy goes "this is fake isnt it"? i said, got no idea, but its all i got. so he laughed and took it.
bit of a look story, but basically i'd spend it, got nothing to loose.
we got given one at my old work place once and i was goin out that nite, so my manager gave me the dodgy one and i got rid of it in a nite club and plaid her back with a real one
what was in it for you? clubs aren't a great place to use fake notes - unless its in a third world city up north of something (joke)
they should be trained be aware of fake notes, as it happens a lot at clubs, and your risking a pleasant exit from a pair of ruthless bouncers
its fuckin annoying me.i have to admit that have allready tried to get rid at the petrol station,they spotted it straight away.i hid it with another £20 and a fiver,and tried to distract her by asking for baccy after i had given the money over...didnt work.i know a petrol station perhaps wasnt a good idea ....but wtf?
dont go to a local one then
i work at tesco and in the past they've given people another note if they come in and claim they were given a dodgy note as cashback or something.
lol innit
So go tesco, get some cashback, go outside, put the real cash in your pocket, then take out the fake one, go back in and say 'oi, you!' etc. kick up a fuss and bobs your uncle
it depends which store you go to and how lenient they/that member of staff is.
or that someone who is a devous criminal mind is just selling a batch of notes for cheap
Sounds more like it
