The Cien note is the bane of my existance

Once again all I could get from the Caja Automatico was Cient pesos notes. Why do they even have these things if nobody will take them? It so funny to go buy something for 20 pesos and pull out the 100 pesos bill and see the look of horror on the face of the kid at the counter.

So, this time I went to the King to get a whopper and some aros de cebolla I had the young lady my 100 and she starts to freak out. She asks if I have anything smaller to which I reply "No, solo" I'm trying to say thats all I have. I'm not sure if thats right, but it's close enough and she got the point. She then takes a deep breath and lets out a big sigh...then looks around for her manager. Nobody is around to save her from this terrible situation that I have put her in. She opens up her cash drawer and begins to count out my change...remember it's only 80 pesos in change...she has to give me almost every bill she has in her drawer. At least this time she didn't start handing me rolls of quarters like I got at Starbucks. Anyway I have a massive stack of small bills now so this shouldn't be a problem...however I have no idea if she gave me enough change or not.

Hasta la proxima....
