This story remains a favorite because it’s all too plausible.
A Taco Bell employee refused a $2 bill from a customer because he thought it wasn’t real.For once, a piece of anonymous Internet flotsam that isn’t quite so anonymous. Although the tale below now appears on numerous web sites credited to one “Peter Leppik,” its real author was the USENET netizen known as Captain Sarcastic, who posted it to a few newsgroups in December 1993.
The following is a true story. It amused the hell out of me while it was happening. I hope it isn’t one of those “had to be there” things. On my way home from the second job I’ve taken for the extra holiday ca$h I need, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting mad at me.Server: “That’ll be $1.04, eat here?”At this point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill.
Did the infamous “$2 bill at Taco Bell” incident really happen as described in Captain Sarcastic’s tale? He says it did. But whether it’s real, a somewhat embellished account of an actual encounter, or purely the product of a fertile imagination, the story remains a favorite because it’s all too plausible, something we can easily imagine happening. Indeed, many of us have already experienced something very much like it .
Nonetheless, police were summoned when a Best Buy employee noticed that the ink on some of the $2 bills was smeared, and after one officer noted that the serial numbers on the bills ran in sequential order, Bolesta was handcuffed and taken to the county police lockup. Police reportedly kept him handcuffed to a pole for three hours while they notified the Secret Service, but when an investigator from that agency determined that the currency was legitimate, Bolesta was finally released.
