I think its crazy that it happens as well, and that's why the cashiers are supposed to check every single one. I remember when I used to work at a hotel gift shop, some people got offended when I would do that, and I told them its not that I think they are fake or that the person looks shady, you just have to check because there are counterfeit bills just floating around out there
