Futuretail: The Retail Technology Weblog: Man arrested at Best Buy for using $2 bills

Welcome

Hi. The purpose of this blog is to continue sharing the observations (random and otherwise) that I've been developing over the past few years as an industry analyst, with a particular slant toward retail and how technology changes the way people shop. I welcome all comments and feedback, and feel free to either post a comment here for all to read or email me at jcrawford@cmdagency.com. And remember: we're here to change the world... it should be fun.

Man arrested at Best Buy for using $2 bills

OK, so it's not strictly speaking "technology news," but apparently a disgruntled customer at Best Buy was arrested for using $2 bills to pay for an installation he wasn't happy with. Any of you who have heard me speak in the past year may have heard the story about how an alert Wal-Mart cashier (Janice Sanders) called her manager when a customer tried to pass a (fake) $1 million bill. Note to Best Buy's HR department: please tell your cashiers that $2 bills are REAL (albeit unusual)... I'd hate to be arrested when I bring my penny collection in to buy a new ink cartridge...
