Money is actually pretty difficult to counterfeit.

Like seriously, the amount of crazy detail governments put into various security measures for legitimate currency puts most of our societal projects to shame.

Thing is, most of these checks need some sort of special tool to be run – you can’t just see them with your eyes.

So, in this video from TikTok user @dada_yung_god, is the crash out justified, or is this business as usual?

“Check this **** out. That’s how you purchase ****.”

“They gotta run your money through machines.”

“So return all that ****. I don’t want none of this ****.”

Some argued there was nothing to worry about here.

Others argued there may be profiling involved.

The experiences were all over the place.

At some places, it IS policy.

Still, it seems pretty ridiculous to me.

Now that you’ve read that story, check out this one about a delivery driver who took a $400 grocery order back because she wasn’t given a tip.
