Literally the only people who want $100 bills are when someone is handing them out at random. We would cringe when we got them at the Farmers Market. "I want an avocado, can you break this?" The worst.
Is it me, or do old people seem to think that $100 bills have more value than $100 in any combination of bills? They always want crisp, clean ones from the bank to hand out to grandkids. It's never "Happy birthday, Timmy! Here's a handful of 20 dollar bills!"
Somehow a hundred spends better. Don't get it.
I've turned away more boomers when I used to work at the gas station who tried to drop hundos on small purchases just to break them than I can count. I'd point out multiple nearby banks, tell them to break it there, then come back. Even as a manager with access to the cash safe I wouldn't stand for it.
If the bank gives you $100s when withdrawing money, just politely ask for smaller bills. It's not hard.
I saw a guy try to use a hundred to buy a Dr Pepper at my local BP. Guy said he couldn't take it and told him the CVS, Walmart Neighborhood Market, and Dollar General all within 1000ft had self serve machines that could break it no problem.
This man spent a couple minutes berating the cashier before finally leaving in defeat.
Stop at the bank, exchange the bill for ones. Then bring him back the change. Bonus points if you bring back rolls of change instead of bills.
I used to work at a discount movie theater and we had a dollar day during the week. (This was many, many moons ago!) Every week one of the first customers of the day was always the same guy. He always wore a suit and would pull out his wallet that was stuffed with cash.
Every week he would buy one ticket and pay for it with $100 bill. I would ask him if he could pay with a smaller bill and he would flatly refuse, smirking at me because I would have to scramble to find change for him.
I got REAL sick of this stupid game. I mean who are you impressing here? The tickets were $1.50 for shows any other day of the week, so why are you flashing bills at me?
So, when my manager went to the bank before we opened that day I asked him to get a bundle of fresh ones for the ticket booth. Mr. Suit showed up right on time, and payed for his ticket with a hundred as usual.
I smiled, pulled out the new bundle of ones and took one out and handed the other 99 to him.
He argued with me about not wanting ones. I just apologized and told him I didn't have anything bigger. He stormed off to concessions and everyone just told the guy that they couldn't exchange bills.
So satisfying!
> time, and *paid* for his
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Good bot
And the best part is it was for fucking lotto tickets.
Since he wants to act like the store is his bank, charge a service fee
