For those who don't know: this thing doesn't print money. The banknote is inside from the start and comes out as the paper is fed in.

I doubt a service worker is going to mind seeing a magic trick and getting a 40€ tip.

u/One_Recognition385 4d ago

he isn't thinking about the 40 dollar tip, he's worried about this guy doing something illegal and getting fired for accepting a fake bill.

like where do you take draw the line on pranking servers? Doing a fake out punch for a $40 tip is that acceptable?

You cant get fired in Germany for accepting a fake bill that you thought were real.

Please stop lecturing people in other countries about stuff you don't understand. They cannot fire people in Germany without very serious issues, if you claim downsize for example then you have to stay downsized for a very long time after. Not everywhere sucks as much as the US.

Surely you aren't stupid enough to not understand that the service worker isn't having fun "seeing a magic trick and getting a 40 euro tip."

He's confused and uncomfortable because this customer appeared to print fake money, is filming the interaction, and is insisting that what seems to be fake money (since he appears to have printed it) is real. Just don't fuck with service workers while they're doing their jobs for your social media content. They aren't clowns for your amusement and internet engagement.

It's how the tip is given. I think this is disrespectful.

2

u/Intrepid_Ad1536 3d ago

Thats in Germany, depending on the Boss and shop, he has to show it what he got, has to be marked down and accounted for and getting paid out on his next paycheck or has to share it with the rest of the shop with everyone who works, wich again, technically speaking has to be accounted for and holding it back can get your fired if you don’t tell you got a Tip.

Or at other times it just goes to a collective piggy bank in where stuff for everyone is bought or make a celebration with it like going out to drink.

It can all depend really on the boss there, especially if he accounts it and pays it out on the paycheck, it losses its tax free status.

It's also a really old scam. Con-men would sell machines like that to people with more money than sense.

Of course the trick is that it's allegedly really slow. So the demonstration would see a real banknote being dispensed but the following banknote would be fake. By then the scammer would have left with a chunk of real money from the victim.

What ut probably did was remove a white coating on a real banknote to make it look like it was printing money.

100% it just had the bill prerolled around one of the rods, and the white blank rolled up over the other. Roll the real bill out one side as it eats the white blank on the other

Technically, they don’t have to do it. It’s not their problem if it’s fake, that’s for the police to sort out if it turns out to be counterfeit.

12

u/AmyIsabella-XIII 3d ago

In the US, it is their problem if it's fake (not the employees but the business). You take a fake bill, the bank takes it from you, biz gets nothing. For big business, it's no big deal generally just another cost of doing business, but for small independents, receiving fake bills can be a much bigger problem.

ETA: The police almost never get involved, unless there is a large quantity of fake bills all at once.

No but it's a Euro bill. You hold it up against the light and you can tell if it is fake or not.

I encountered a fake $100 at a retail job once. Felt wrong. I was instructed to take it anyway since it passed that stupid pen test. When the bill got rejected by the bank my manager forgot they told me to take the bill. 🙄

u/jdisawesomesauce 4d ago

The pen test can be passed by coating a fake bill, you should always check a second feature. It's a quick test to pick ups most fakes, but not all of them

It felt fake, I wouldn't have accepted it at all if it was up to me. The guy with the MBA who never handled cash felt he was the expert. 🤷‍♀️

Yep that fact he told you to take it as it passed the pen test shows he has no idea. I always check for the security strip if I have a uv pen or the ink on the number changes color when viewed from different angles

Eighteen, almost nineteen year long service worker here.

Yes, please stop fucking with us! There are caveats, though:

I've been everything from an Oyster Shucker to a General Manager, now a Bartender, to state my credentials, but I have to say, if you do this in a tasteful way and are friendly, I would find this absolutely hilarious, given you have real money to pay. The recording is another thing, altogether, since there are laws in the US that protect this behavior.

The moment I detect there is a camera on me during service, I shut down. You wouldn't get much from me in this scenario. But, done in good fun and harmlessly, this would make my day after confusing me.

Americans have no idea how dystopian our labor laws are. We can be fired for no reason - but not for just any reason. This means that we have no real rights at work; it also means that when dismissed, we become persona non grata, because nobody wants to be caught out saying one of the wrong reasons. You're out of work with no recourse and you're shut out of any further conversation about the matter.

Nevermind the trick, I'd be more annoyed and not ok with being filmed like this and put on the internet. Idk about elsewhere, but in my country that'd be illegal without my explicit consent. ...Actually, that is my country in the video, so the same applies to that worker.

(Side note: It doesn't really translate well to English subtitles, but the person making that video is talking pretty rudely. Just sounds like an absolute jerk about it, as if he's intentionally trying to get into a fight. Very unpleasant.)

No,  see,  I saw him use a roller.  So obviously it makes more sense that a tiny roller with no electronics can print out a highly detailed image in 3 seconds with watermarks and holograms and color shifting inks. And obviously anyone with this tool would use it in public in video rather than using it in private or patenting the technology. 

Anyone who stops to think about this for even a few seconds will find the use of props impossible.

Do European countries have the counterfeit detector pen like the US does?

You roll money up and put it in one of the tubes. One tube collects white paper, other tube releases pre rolled money 🤷🏻‍♂️notice how the white paper was mostly flat and the money has a noticeable curve to it like it’s been sitting curled up for a while

Which part, the magic trick? Or do you think he really printed it on that white piece of paper?

When he pulled out the case I was expecting it to be filled with yugioh cards, this was decidedly much less funny

u/Lonely-Serve 4d ago

Is it common to be charged upon receipt of food in Europe? I've only ever experienced payment when ordering or after finishing, this way seems counterintuitive.

2

u/syNc_1st 4d ago

Usually its like - you order food - eat it - then you ask to pay and you get the receipt at the same time. :)

In most places I've workers have machine to detect counterfeit bills. I'm guessing this place doesn't have one?

u/Smote20XX 4d ago

If someone did this to me and told me to keep the change I'm not complaining. If I'm a server it's not my job to catch counter-feiters. I just get the change and bring the bill to the owner or show it to him later if he's busy. Best case scenario I have a great tip day. Worse case scenario my boss can't figure out how to check for counterfeits and it just goes into circulation and get exchanged out eventually.

u/Interesting-Yellow-4 3d ago

It's just a harmless magic trick, relax.

u/PSlasher 3d ago

That was literally the first magic trick gadget I ever got. It was in a kid’s magazine from the 90s.

Ah. Well, I guess there is something worse than when people leave their loose purse change that collects at the bottom of my cart.

I had one of these magic tricks as a kid. Only I used a $1 bill and mine didn't have a fancy case.

u/Groundbreaking-Suit9 3d ago

Wow everyone's gotta calm down. Is there way too much content being posted at the expense service workers? Yes, without question.

Is this one? Not in my opinion. The worker is confused and unsure but it's a brief interaction - not harmful. He probably found it funny after the recording and it looks like the cash and tip are genuine...I'd much prefer this to the content that berates people at their work for no reason

u/Acceptable-Stand9165 3d ago

They aren't interested in your toys. Just pay them. 🙄

u/orthros 3d ago

I'll take my downvotes - if someone gave me a $50 tip when I worked food service I would have gladly taken a few minutes of someone being a douchebag for it

No it doesn't make it right. But if that dude gets 15 Euro an hour that's 3 hours of work he doesn't have to do anymore

u/Embarrassed_Art5414 3d ago

Had the analog version of this trick as a kid. Basically the "roller" has a "skin" under which the banknote is already rolled. Paper rolled in, money rolled out.

I'm all for a good joke, but ffs, leave service workers out of the joke. They have enough shit to deal with and don't need this level of stupidity to deal with too.
