Greetings. Be careful before you spend that $2 bill. Try to use it at good old "Best Buy" and you could end up shackled to a pole in the slammer.

As a protest of poor customer service ("I'm shocked, shocked to learn that there are customer service problems at Best Buy!") a gentleman decided to pay with a pile of $2 bills. In case you haven't seen any lately, $2 bills are still being distributed and are completely legal tender -- I've had one in my wallet as a curiosity piece for years.

In this case, instead of giving him a receipt, Best Buy had him arrested. It's not completely clear whether they thought he was a counterfeiter or a terrorist ("9/11" being used as one excuse for the abuse that resulted) -- or a combination of both.

Of course, there are other ways to invoke the wrath of Best Buy. Remind me to tell you what happened when I asked them to honor one of their own coupons a number of months ago here in L.A. -- I was probably one notch short of the cuffs myself that afternoon.
