Following on from my "I was asked to elave a shop" thread, I did make it into Adams, and had got some stuff for my neice and my goddaughter etc. it came to something liek £28. SO I ahnded over a £20, and 2 £5. One of which was a Bank of scotland. The woman took teh money, then looked at teh Scottish note, held it up to the light, looked at me, looked at the note again then said "have you got anything else". No i said ( I did but wasn't telling her). Oh well do you have a card she said. Yes, i did but wanted to pay cahs, "It's our policy not to accept these kind of notes".
So, me being me and being downright awkward, said "what kind of notes, it is a sterling note, it clearly says on it "promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of £5.oo" ".
She said it was their policy not to accept Scottish notes.
I did ask her how on earth they managed with their stores in places like Glasgow, Edinburgh Dundee , where every customer would have scottish money and did they just refuse to serve them.
Then i walked out.
I had a bad day anyway (see other thread) and this was the final straw.
I feel like writing a letter to their head offcie and telling them they have a daft policy.
