Today, I was working as a cashier at a restaurant. When I receive $50 and $100 bills I am required to have a manager check to make sure they are not counterfeit. Every manager I found yelled at me to find another manager because they were busy. Frustrated, I just accepted the bill. It was fake. FML

No, I'm sure it's check. Maybe in a different area like Europe they say cheque, but either way everyone's right.

tell your parents that the bank said the check is worth $10,000. after trade them the check for the money they knowingly have. I'm pretty sure your parents are scammers.

Today, I was supposed to start my exciting new job. I knew I needed a good night's sleep to prepare but because of the excitement I was worried, so I decided to try that tart cherry juice I kept seeing on TikTok to help me sleep. It worked. A little too well. I woke up 14 hours later, missed my first day, got fired. FML
