And then the guy who approved it was about my age, just smiled at us and that was it. The bill wasn't checked with one of those "pens" or anything, he just knew the old ones didn't have the strip, or the watermark and that was it. And she was embarrassed because she simply wasn't trained to be a cashier.
I gave her a hundred too, but mine was newer.....

As a boomer myself, I have learned that trying to show a little kindness in these situations makes everyone feel better, including me.
