Best Buy Calls Police Over Customer Payment

Best Buy has been having odd problems lately. Most recently, they called the police after a customer tried to pay a bill with $2 bills - legal tender. At first, the clerk didn’t want to take the bills, responding “I don’t have to take these if I don’t want to.”

After a brief exchange of idiocy on the side of Best Buy, they called the Police because they thought something was wrong, even asking if the bills where real. The poor guy was handcuffed in the store for using legal US Tender and the Secret Service was called in to handle the situation while the guy was cuffed and leg ironed in the police station. Check out the full story.

I’m not in the US, but from the stories I’m seeing floating around on the Internet, when I get back, I won’t be buying anything from them.
