Counterfeit Bills

August 12 2005
I hope I can trust everyone on here not to do this, yet agree with me that disney is ignorant. . .

Disney wants to "perserve the magic" so we were told in the cash handling training today that we don't use counterfeit pens. The lady that taught the class had obviously NEVER worked in a retail situation. She acted like we have all day to stand there and inspect a bill while "chit chatting" with the customer.

So I was thinking about this just now. first off. a counterfeiter isn't gonna put bill gates or clintons picture on a counterfeit bill(the examples they gave us). or even switching the pictures up. that's just dumb. 2nd off. if you get a REALLY good counterfeit bill, you're not gonna be able to look at it and then just know. this lady said we are expected to stand there, chit chat and "feel out" every bill that comes through. I'm sorry, but if I have a line of 20 customers, it would be easier for me to mark a bill with a marker than it would be to feel that bill for it's realness factor.

oh, and why i'm feeling that bill, if i don't catch it then, and it's caught later on at the end of my shift or something, I had ruined the prints b/c I'd bee rubbing mine all over it.

then there is the off chance that I don't catch it, I give it to a customer, they take it somewhere else and spend it, and at the end of the day when it is prolly caught, my prints are all over the bill.

I thought way to much about this. . .but like, we're underpaid, disney makes a lot of money and i found out today that my payment comes from: $1.00/hr: disney, like $1.65/hr: coca cola, and the rest is government money. . .don't know how true this is, but gah. what kind of program is this!?

haha, well at least i'm having fun. . .

oh, and I went clubbin' tonight, and I won't go back.

Mom is using Megan's name: I talked to Mrs. Rhome and Officer Nelson today. Apparently there are a lot more of these bills floating around than you realize. Catch them if you can and don't sweat the ones you miss.
