I am curious how they know specifically, that it was him.
How many cashiers, how many $$, how many transactions, and they narrow one trasaction and a few $20's out of the thousands they probably take in, down to one person?
Only takes 1 cashier to catch it.
Talked to a Treasury guy many moons ago and, back then, McDonald's cashiers were responsible for most of the calls - more than banks. He said they were so used to handling cash that they immediately noticed when a bill of any denomination didn't "feel" right.
Couldn't have happened to a better 'vendor'. I wish every hardship on them.
2:19-That happened to a friend of mine several months ago.His photo was shown on news sites & he was accused of credit card fraud.It turned out to be someone entirely different.
If he spent $300 and used $20 bills, the purchase would have been made with 15 really crisp, new bills. Not hard to remember what face went with that purchase, as the bills, in volume and character, are unusual. When the employee reviews the videos from the approximate time of purchase, it's easy to I.D. the person.
