First reaction today and that was the attendant at the supermarket self checkout. She was just curious to see what it said and then the machine spat out my dollar bill so we joked that I must actually be one of the 1% because I was throwing money away. The machine didn't like that bill so she got another one and it didn't like it either. She went back and got 4 quarters and those worked. So that machine must be on the fritz though it took the first dollar I inserted.
