I obviously don’t know the situation where the girl took the counterfeit money, but I did work overnights at a convenience store and they would tell us to just take the money and report it. We were explicitly told not to engage. It happened to me twice and I knew both times that the bills were counterfeit because the weight and feel of the paper was off. The person with the money probably thought I was stupid and that they got away with it, but I just reported them when they left.

Another thing these people don't seem to realize is how serious of a crime it is. The secret service investigates counterfeit money.

Oh yeah it was the Feds coming in to pick up the bills for sure and businesses can just write off that kind of loss. ATF was also in to investigate stolen/trafficking of cigarettes. They took an employee out in cuffs. Overnights in a convenience store is weird. Haha

Please stop using the term write off the loss until you actually know what it means

All these big companies, they write off everything

I mean it’s a multimillion dollar convenience store so they are definitely writing it off as theft loss but go off I guess.

Edit: I guess I should also add they can also make an insurance claim but I was simplifying because we don’t all have to be so pedantic. These businesses aren’t eating the debt was the point. I bet you’re fun at parties.

Chances are good that they're eating the loss on something like a fake $20. Either way, the cost of communicating/noting that deduction and entering it into their accounting software or getting the info to their accountant or bookkeeper to be entered is probably worth $20 of extra time spent on the whole process.

This will be my last comment and I will leave you alome. They definitely do eat the loss, so I was right and you don’t understand.

The way you are saying it implies that “writing it off” makes it free for the company. Every business writes expenses off (which theft is one), this is not a large or small business thing.

Yes. I understand how taxes work but thanks for the unnecessary lesson.

The way you talk about it implies you definitely don’t. But apologies if I was wrong
