Oh, I know why they do it, having worked retail myself. But that still doesn't make it my problem when the popcorn-jockey sighs deeply at my $100 bill.

The management decides how to balance loss prevention against having available funds. That's fine but when they balance it poorly and don't have enough cash in drawer to break a bill that's their fault, not mine.

But you also have to know that not all businesses are going to be able to break that. Many gas stations won't accept bills that large at all, let alone sigh at you.

Is it their fault if they can't break a one hundred thousand dollar bill?

Movie theaters are not one of those cash-starved businesses. This isn't a garage sale someone's passing a $100 bill at, it's a concession stand doing about $15-$25 per sale.

If theaters don't want $100 bills, they should post it on the front door like the gas stations do.

How about you ask me first? Your after all taking MY order. You will spend less time asking me "You want/don't want ice, extra or no butter" than coming back and finding out I didn't want it like that, thus causing you to sink more time into something when you could have handled the situation the first time.


Most places actually discourage this to manage portion control and prevent what they see as waste. If you ask the customer in these situations it clues them in to "I can get more!" and costs the theatre an extra 0.004$. So in general it becomes policy to manage things like that and leave it up completly to customer initiative.
