My husband has slept on those air mattresses and said they are wonderful. Congrats on that counterfeit bill--the stores around here use a certain magic marker when you give them a 50 or 100 bill-keep up the good work!

Good catch on the counterfeit bill. You're right - there's definitely a difference in texture between real and counterfeits. If in doubt, better to just say no.

Doesn't the store have a better policy on passing counterfeit money than just handing it back and accepting an alternative payment method? Here, you're obliged to report ANY attempt to "utter" counterfeit money to police, and give them a damned good description of the person. Even if your customer didn't knowingly pass the dodgy bill (although it sounds as if he knew full well it was fake), shouldn't it be reported so police can follow it up and track down its source? Have you ever actually clarified with management what YOUR legal position is over such incidents? I think you should! Love, R xxx

Good for you on catching that bill. I'm learning so much from you through all your experiences and HD is soo lucky to have an employee like you. I've slept on those air mattresses during visits home and they are indeed a lot more comfy than one might think!

You should get points deducted for noticing that counterfeit bill! And for cleaning and tidying your garden area. I've rarely worked with cash, so I doubt that I would have even noticed. Good catch!

We had one of those air mattresses before my parents gave us the AeroBed for Christmas, and it was really nice! The only thing is, the cats put a hole in it with their claws. Grrr. But you won't have that problem. Good eye on spotting the counterfeit $100!

We had a marker you used for every bill even 20's it was such a pain but so worth it!

That was my question, but capitolady the Wal-Mart queen beat me to it. Don't you have those markers?
