I know in many states I have been to have this, I don't know in the UK or other places, but this may be a prevalent practice. Any time you give $20 bill and higher almost all store clerks always get-out this pen that they use to check if the money is fake or not! They just slash it and if it turns color then it is fake. I bet this is humiliating for many.
So, here is what I do, I bring my own pen to the store and when ever the keeper gives me a change over 20, I do what they did to me and others. And when they ask what I'm doing? I say, it is just a black pen and only to check everything they give me back is not fake.
Plus, this practice happens more where many minorities live

Pele: Lmao, i know what you mean... in the uk they hold the £5,£10 or £20 notes up to the light..... So when I get it back change I hold it up to the light too and check it.. and I have been known to hand money back that i think is suspect and ask them to change it..

| LOL I expect people to do it with £50s and occasionally with £20s but not £10s usually. @ K if somebody checked my £5 I'd be pissed off. That's just rude. Who on earth forges £5 notes? The cashier is taking the piss and deliberately insulting you

A fake pound coin factory got busted in enfield last month. Got hit with a dud here at work.
Can't forge £20, they've got the new euro friendly ones out.

| You shouldn't always assume its racist. When i had a weekend job at an electical store and even when I was 16 and working in McDonalds I used to check every note. We had to even if it looked real because you'd be surprised how many good fakes are out there and we'd get into a lot of trouble if a fake got into our till. I had one guy make a big point of checking the £5 note that I gave him back as change as I checked his £10 but at the end of the day I didn't give a toss because as far as i was concerned i don't know any of the customers and I am the one getting in trouble at the end of the day. Some of the clerks may have race bias but the vast majority just don't want to end up with a warning. We also used to get info from our seniors if there was a particularly high level of fakes notes of a certain denomination in the area so we would have to be very careful.
