How much change would you give a customer who gives you a 3 dollar bill for a $2.50 purchase?

[AviatorTom]

You're a cashier in a store. A customer is buying a small trinket with a price of $2.50 on it. They hand you a 3 dollar bill for payment. What do you give them as change?

This question is prompted by @exitseven...

Can you "make change" ?

There is no 3 dollar bill, at least not a legal one. If you look carefully at the image, you'll notice that it's a "TWE DOLLAR BILL", with signatures by "A. Phoneybill" (left) and "U. Canteashit" (right).

Many of you got it right. Don't give any change and call security or the cops.

I would give 2 quarters coins, because "twe dollars" pronounced t+we like we, is 0.50$ more, if that bill existed, as the question assumed. Just count one two twee! And purchases are always 2.49 not 2.50.

@strateguy632 With the penny gone in 2026, there will no longer be $2.49 or $1.99 prices, they will be $2.50 and $2.00.

I keep the three dollar bill, try to detain the customer, and I call the police. That is counterfeit money of a very low quality.

50 cents, 2 quarters, 5 dimes, 10 nickels, 50 pennies

[sage2021]

Also there's no $3 bill🙃

Thank you for the MHO Tom 🤓

I'd give him monopoly money change

[Anonymous]

I'd give them my foot in their ass. Believe it or not when I worked at a convenience store we had some jackals try to pay with a 3 dollar bill.

[FreyaRed]

I would told the person to f.. off because I prefer $3 bills with Michael Jackson.

[Massageman]

Just hit that hidden button and bring the cops.

[msc545]

None. There is no $3 bill. Or if there is, it is counterfeit.

[KostasKouvalis]

50 cents duh. That's of course assuming that $3 bills actually exist as legal tender

[KostasKouvalis]

Update: Why you Americans immediately gotta resort to snitching? Is there anyone dumb enough to actually take this seriously? You people are so uptight.

[NathanDavis]

a 7.50 dollar bill...

[exitseven]

I would call security.

[WonderingManII]

Bleh, you tricked me.

[chrissykerdock]

5 dollars think how rare that is

[DryGermanGuy]

The amount 911 sounds about right...

[Dongie]

I call the cops.

[Twalli]

$0.50, provided that's the price with tax added.

[KostasKouvalis]

Everyone including myself finds it so weird that Americans don't list the price after tax
