>I think he was right not accepting it. That's where you're wrong though

Broken notes aren't legal tender anymore. You have to exchange them at the bundesbank. Well, you need at least 51% of the note to do that.

He had the right but I think he was wrong. But it reflects the service I expect from a German business, so I can't say I'm surprised. Neither am I surprised by OP celebrating a business inconveniencing a potential customer and missing out on a sale because of it.

And why did you steal those 5 Euros? Now the poor grille has neither.

>>17522 The cashier was an Indian male in his 20s. >>17523 I didn't.

Defacing currency is a crime, the shop clerk should have reported him to the authorities and have him executed.

>>17526 He claimed he got the bill a couple of minutes prior at an Asian bistro take out thingy

>>17529 If he is telling the truth then Jehova can sort it out when he gets there.

>>17526 In Thailand you literally go to jail for that, as the currency depicts His Majesty The King.

>>17540 That happens in Australia too, you can get fined $5000 or go to jail for 2 years. I don't know if it's actually enforced though.

>>17524 Perfectly integrated, I must say.

back in the day in finland you could rip a bill in half and use it as currency. so half a 10 mark bill would be 5 marks in value. at one point our bank even encouraged everyone to do it. there was some weird monetary reason for it.

>>17516 prufs? I knew about the 51% but not the former.

>>17542 Yeah I think here it's theoretically destrcuction of government property or something the like, equally non-enforced because why would anybody rip up money. But step on 20 Baht and the full might of the Thai state will come down on you for defacing HMK.

>>17552 The Lese majeste laws are for cracking down on internal dissent by the elite, also as a way of making quick cash by police/prosecuters from bribes and fines. Many Thai people who just make a livelihood live off of bribes/fines. Even the defense lawyers you hire are in on this racket. Foreigner just pays a few bribes and it's settled. Jailing foreigners doesn't bring in any money Would the Thai State jail a dirt poor farmer who accidentally deface a note? A dirt poor farmer with no cash to pay a bribe? The only time they'd do it to the dirt poor farmer is if he was starting a peasant rebellion or something.

>>17513 The customer didn't want to bother going to the bank and exchanging the banknote for a new one, so he tried to shift this responsibility to the shop owners. This is ridiculous. It's also ridiculous that a Russian like me has more sense of Verantwortung and Ordnung than Germans, apparently, if I have to explain this to you. A friend from NA was transiting through my place to Switzerland, and his ICE77 not only got delayed by 2 (two) hours, but comically never even reached Zürich at all, forcing him to book a hotel at Mannheim and reducing his time in CERN by a day. That's how far Germany has fallen under the globalist occupation. If Germans have no will or balls to change it, we will have to do this for you.

>>17574 I don't get your post. You complain about an inconvenience caused by DB (I can relate), but then justify the completely unnecessary inconvenience caused by this supermarket? You lived in Switzerland. Can you imagine this scene here? I find it hard. They'd probably put the broken bill to the other broken bills. They will bring the money to the bank anyway. And even if the bank charges a few cents for handling the broken bills, it'd be better than ruining your reputation with a customer. But in Germany there's no reputation of good service, so I guess they can't ruin much.

>>17544 >our bank even encouraged everyone to do it. there was some weird monetary reason for it. increasing money supply without printing more. still, very weird. maybe it was on the eve of euro introduction?

>>17574 >that a Russian like me So it's true what I always suspected.... Sad!

>>17580 >but then justify the completely unnecessary inconvenience caused by this supermarket The inconvenience is caused by people who try to delegate responsibility of doing to the and and exchanging the banknote. It's a basic civil duty, akin to returning your shopping cart. Just go to the bank and exchange the banknote for a new one, instead of causing a scene and stressing other people. The guy who wanted to guy his soda with a damaged banknote could've just exchanged it, but he chose to try to delegate this responsibility to the shop owners. How is this so complicated to understand?

>>17582 What exactly did you always suspect?

>>17592 That you're Russian, because your photos always have those telegram file names

>>17594 Doubt it, I only post once per maybe 2 or 3 months. I'm finally naturally phasing out of imageboards. And gaming too, for that matter. It has all become boring an uninspired with age and the change of the web's nature.

>>17590 *of going to the bank Slowfix.

>>17599 It's no coincidence files starting with "photo_" are only posted in combination with Russia related posts.

>>17574 Surely, voting for these shitheads, frauds and liars is going to fix Germany! You should go back to Kohl.

>>17549 Sorry didn't lurk since 3 days. >Händler müssen beschädigte Geldscheine nicht annehmen >Merchants aren't obliged to accept damaged notes. https://www.sparkasse.de/pk/ratgeber/finanzplanung/finanzen-und-haushalt/bargeld/beschaedigte-geldscheine.html

why didn't he pay with card? is he stupid?

>>17965 He probably didn't have any money on his bank account

>>17967 That's the consequence of buying coke for 5€ lol

>>17938 How is any of this related to kohl? I've been on KC since like 2011 or something like that. Fuck off, triggered clown, KC is not your leftist globalist echochamber, never was and never will be.

>>17974 Not voting for these shitbirds is just common sense.

>>17981 No, voting for AfD is just common sense. And the more people like you pretend like it's all sunshine and daisies, the more radical we will be becoming, because it's obviously needed to deal with your sorry lot.

>>17984 My problem is less with the AfD's policies and more with the scum that they have as politicians. I do not want to be ruled by people who are stupid, angry, and even more dishonest than other politicians.

>>17974 Fuck off, triggered clown, KC is not your right-wing echochamber, never was old KC was in the end, and that has become kohl. I hope nu KC never will be again.

>>17974 KC isn't even a year old, liar!

>>17987 This. Sames with the FPÖ, if they actually did what they promise and just that, fine with me. But you get a shitload of the most corrupt, indecent and retarded lowlifes on top, which hampers any political work flow if you would actually try instead of just trying to scoop the max amount of money possible. As seen basically every time the FPÖ was in charge in any way. Then again with the FPÖ any kind of taxes on capital will never ever happen and soon I won't be living in this shithole filled with native and foreign yokels anymore, so whatever.

>>17992 >he pays capital gains tax lmao

>>17992 Where are you going?

>>17994 Only while wörking, once you are a poor jobless person you can change to have capital gains taxed like it's income which makes the first 15k or so per year tax free and the next 10k only taxes 20%, like the regular income tax breaks. Regularly the Kapitalertragssteuer is 27,5%, with Regelbesteuerung and a yearly need for about 20-30k gives you around 10-15%. Obviously it doesn't work when you actually wörk, as then you already are in the 30/40/50% tax bracket.

>>17948 Ah, fascinating.

>>17987 >I do not want to be ruled by people who are stupid, angry, and even more dishonest than other politicians. This is exactly the reason people vote for AfD, and all the other Eurosceptic parties all across Europe. The rancid state of the crumbling globalist occupation regimes has become so apparent, that even the normies (who have always been voting for whatever globalists that labelled themselves the standard anti-bad guy people) are now getting fed up with this garbage and begin to make actually sensible political choices in rejection of the suicidal leftist insanity. >>17989 >old KC was in the end Because by the end of the old KC the shitskin immigrant invasion crisis was becoming really hard to ignore, radicalising the Bernd. And unlike you, I'm not telling people to "go back to kohl", so your pathetically pointless reuse of the word "echochamber" is a miss. The best part is that your actions that propagate from the very nature of your ideology is precisely what makes people so sympathetic to our cause. You are doing this yourself. Which once again proves that acceleration was the only way to force Europeans to wake the fuck up and stand against the globalist occupation.

>>17998 >your ideology [...] to our cause See, that's exactly the problem. I just want to lurk, read about animu and watch some bird pictures from Israel. You're desperately trying to make this into "us vs. them" thing. Fuck off. The internet is full of such places. We don't need the 1636276th iteration of /pol/. Let us have this one imageboard that's not like this, please. You have Kohlchan for your German-yet-/int/ /pol/ cancer. After EC died, we don't have a comfy place anymore.

>>17998 just fuck off, also your "exactly why" argument doesn't make any sense

>>17998 Sounds like good ol' divide and conquer by another, external interest group.

>>18001 A certain shithole country trying to drag others down to its level

>>17999 >I just want to lurk, read about animu and watch some bird pictures from Israel So do I. But unfortunately there's a bunch of loud imported shitshins outside of the walls of my house that disintegrate the nice and comfy European society that used to allow normal European people to enjoy nice comfy and prosperous life. >After EC died, we don't have a comfy place anymore. Oh, right, and therefore everybody needs to just adhere to you burying your head in the sand pretending like it's still 2005, I see.

>>18004 >But unfortunately there's a bunch of loud imported shitshins outside of the walls of my house If you like them, go outside and greet them. If you don't like them, don't bring them to this board (as a topic). Easy as that. And now fuck off.

Either implement a no politics rule or stop whinging and whining whenever someone voices an opinion that doesn't align with your progressivist world view. There's a bunch of resetera types on here that keep derailing threads with their kvetching and it's annoying as fuck. Most are here because of the pedos and schizos on Kohl, not because it's right leaning.

Let's have arguments about Australian politics. I worry about what is happening in the coalition, dropping net zero is a silly idea.

>>18006 /b/ has a very strict no politics (or no /rvss/) rule. But the more kohlfugees come here, the more /int/ turns into /pol/. Why? There's already /pol/. And Kohlchan. Why ruin a perfectly good /int/ with politics cancer?

>>17998 >>18004 Kek noone wants to read your shitty Rant. Just dont leave your Cellar like every normal Bernd or go outside and shout your uninteresting Opinion at some Neighbours. If the World is such a bad Place now just go and be an Hero, noone will miss you, Thx.

>>18000 >>18001 >>18003 Truth hurts, apparently. >>18006 >Either implement a no politics rule or stop whinging and whining whenever someone voices an opinion that doesn't align with your progressivist world view. Fucking this, 100%. I also feel like it's the same 3,5 posters every time. Happy to post their globalist bullshit, but the moment they loser an argument, they go full "noooo, pls no politics". Fucking circus.

>>18008 /int/ is 4chan lite anyway. I have about the first two or three pages almost entirely hidden becausr it's mostly 4chongs tier shit threads, including unvanned soyjaks. So polshittery is certainly not the biggest problem here. It's actually remarkable, Krautchan int is basically the polar opposite of Ernstchan int, which was very serious, but also mind-numbingly boring. Funny enough the germans seem to be similat :-DDDD

>>18010 >but the moment they loser an argument, they go full "noooo, pls no politics". Do me a favour and scroll up. Tell me when this thread about a broken bank note derailed into politics. Tell me, was it the 3.5 "left-wing" people who tried to bring politics into this thread? Because I see some AfD mongoloid bringing politics into this thread.

>>18009 Don't be so salty, mushi, your tryhard /b/tard tier cynicism went out of fashion around 2012 together with clowns like theamazingatheist.

>>18012 It looks to me more like a thread about disorderly pattern of behaviour that can be perceived as increasing across the whole German society got derailed by a couple of triggered leftist clowns because they felt uncomfortable seeing a reminder of how and why it is happening. There's a reason why lowlife degenerates make scenes at supermarkets about torn banknotes instead of doing their civil duty, why there's trash on the streets and why trains get delayed. So do me a favour and stick your clown tongue up your ass.

>>18014 >derailed by a couple of triggered leftist clowns And that's where you're completely psychotic. Are you one of the schizos from Kohl people try to avoid here? It clearly got derailed by the guy posting a ballot filled for the AfD here.

>>18017 No, it clearly did not, as the on-topic discussion continued after that without anyone getting triggered by it. That is until today, 2 days later mind you, a leftist clown saw it and posted "muh afd shitheads go back to kohl".

>>18019 Mentioning politics in an unrelated thread will derail it more often than not, Bernd.

>>17984 MODS = GODS Also, to bring the topic back to OP: I think both the cashier and the customer were in the wrong. The cashier should have been professional and accept it, even though he didn't have to. But the customer made a much bigger drama out of this than necessary. Didn't he have a bank card on him? How can a torn bill be the only form of payment you have? And if so, just apologise and leave instead of making a fuss. The drama won't help you get what you want.

>>18038 >>18009 >>18012 How about you don't reply to derailing attempts? This behaviour amplifies derailing. It's not a /pol/-thread.

>>18041 Perhaps there should be some convention that allows a Bernd to reply but not reply, something like "DNR", "don't feed the troll" etc. Nothing new obviously, but it requires establishing a convention. Maybe mods could help with that by mentioning it after swinging the hammer.

i have been in the same situation when i was in serbia. i had a ripped banknotes and shop didnt accept it. i went to a bank and changed it. i understand that this is according to law but i think it is suboptimal that you have to go to the bank to do that. why couldnt the shops be semi-banks?
