So, funny story or not so funny story. Two nights ago, I was at what Crescent Hill/Cliftonites call “dirty kroger” shopping for some groceries. At the check out, I pulled out the fifty dollar bill my mom had given me for my birthday (May 9th) to pay for the groceries. I noticed that the young girl seemed puzzled at the bill and immediately held it up to the light and marked the pin thing through it to prove it was not a fake. I didn’t think much about it because she was obviously doing her job. And yes, it was an old school fifty dollar bill. My mom thinks its funny to give us old school cash that hasn’t been taken out of circulation yet because she has worked at the same bank for 38 years.
Anyhoo, the cashier then calls over another young lady to examine the bill. The second employee took the bill and exclaimed loudly, “this is about the fakest looking fifty dollar bill I have ever seen.” I couldn’t believe my ears. I immediately went into “Julia Sugarbaker” mode and threw my groceries in the car and stomped back into dirty kroger to give them a piece of my mind. I asked for a manager and told him what had happened and that it was obviously a rude and unacceptable comment by the cashier. While I’m giving the girl down the road, she walked up to see what the commotion was about. I turned to her and said she was rude and that comment was out of line. I then proceeded to tell everyone standing there that maybe they “should teach the young people about the money that existed before the new designs so this doesn’t happen again.”
I left dirty Kroger in a mix of rage and humor. Whatev. Not sure if I’m going back or not. I wish I could afford to buy all of our groceries at Whole Foods or Whole Paycheck. That kroger isn’t too bad. They always have Kashi on super sale too.
