See The Fake Bills This Daring Customer Tried To Use In Starbucks

That is, until you notice the Chinese characters written on the seal. I don't know who needs to hear this, but the United States doesn't have Chinese on any of its currencies. That alone is a pretty telltale sign that these bills are fake.

But if you look at the bills again, you'll notice another sign. Most of the bills have brown streaks of marker on them, which is most likely from a counterfeit detector pen. The ink from those pens turns yellow when used on actual US currency. When they're brown like the ones in the picture, they're fake. Though, any eagle-eyed cashier wouldn't need to use a pen to know that.

One user joked about how expensive Starbucks drinks are, though other users in the comment section were quick to point out that the scammer was probably trying to buy gift cards with that much fake money. Still, that didn't stop others from cracking more jokes.

Apparently, scammers really do think that cashiers don't know what dollar bills look like. Though, it seems like some of them have been able to get away with just photocopying money and handing it in, which is honestly just baffling.

One user said the dreaded phrase that every cashier has heard at least once: "Don't worry, they're good. I just printed them." It's pretty amazing how so many people tell this exact joke to cashiers.

Even after being out of retail for years, that comment made me groan out loud.
