something weird happened at target masters today

[Eddy's Shooting Sports]

What they did may have been illegal:

The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency provided:

* The illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated

* The illustration is one-sided

* All negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use

OP said "black and white". The law says color. What's illegal?

Now that doesn't explain why on earth they would need to copy the bills other than TM not trusting their employees....

I have copied in black and white or one sided cash payment many times. is just documents that the money was actually received. it covers the employees butt.

I would have objected. HEY, I JUST MADE THOSE TWENTIES!

Target Master definitely has some weird and, border on, unreasonable practices. Awhile back, i was going to buy a hat and some lube. The cashier wanted to copy my driver license. I told them hell no. If they want, they can take a look at it but no copying. Especially for something so trivial. I would agree they need to do it for firearms and, maybe, for ammo .... Weird place. I stop going there anymore.

This is targetmasters. They just continue to make up more stuff to waste your time. People continue to wonder why it can take 2 hours to purchase a gun there, or an hour to pick up a gun there. Of course if they spent less time giving themselves extra paperwork and paid more attention to the idiots in the bays...

[POLICESTATE]

Ah progress! First it was an ID to purchase a gun, then ammo, then even a cleaning brush or a package of targets. All being recorded down. Now they're photocopying your ID and your cash.

What's next?

DNA samples???

Another really good example of why I don't shop at that BS store.

I bet they lobby for a cashless society too, would make life easier for them if they only have to swipe.

[Merc1138]

Nahh, I think it's just more busywork so the owner can get the full $8 an hour out of his minimum wage employees.

no the next logical step at targetmasters is that they copy the money, and then they have to call over a "supervisor" and double check that each of the serial numbers on the bills matches the copies -- and then sign off on the whole thing by filling out a form.

Fixed that for you.

It's only mandatory at Target Disasters.

Love that name btw, not sure who coined it first but it's awesome.


I wonder what would happen if you paid only in quarters? Buy a five dollar cleaning brush and pay with quarters and other coins?

My dentist office does this when I pay cash.
