AIBU to hate paying with a £50 note?

[CocoDeMoll]

This really isn’t a ‘ my diamond shoes are too tight’ type post I’m a Friends fan actually the opposite. Unexpectedly dh is jobless and I’m on mat leave so trying not to use our cards at all. We’re using his cash which is all £50 (from the unofficial redundancy settlement) for things and paying for the Tesco shop or even worse, a pack of battery’s and two 25p tea towels in the pound shop is raising eyebrows like we’ve nicked it or are using fakes. I can’t wait till we’ve broken a fifty and then can use ‘normal’ money for everything else. Is it normal to get looks for using £50 or is it because we’re obviously not rich that’s raising suspicion?

Go to the bank?

Then take them to the bank and put them I. Your account or have them changed. It’s nit rocket science!

Well of course you could take them to the bank, pay them into your account, so as to be then able to withdraw your own money again, either as cash or card payment.
But WHY should you have to go through this rigmarole with notes that are legal tender? I would have to travel into the city centre, where the last remaining branch is, pay several pounds to park my car/ catch the bus, in order to spend my own money? It’s a bit of a palava, don’t you think?

@FadedRed because you're going to clean out the corner shop of most of their daily float. It's hugely inconvenient.

This thread is just bonkers. What a truly stupid scenario that could be easily resolved by just putting the money in the bank. You have to question how some people function in the real world.
