Employee gets fired for accidentally accepting fake bills, despite following procedures while checking them, suspects they are taking someone else's blame: ‘Something’s fishy'

Accidentally accepting a fake bill is one of the most annoying things that can happen to someone who handles money as part of their job. No one wants to deal with the aftermath of finding out there are fake bills in the register, where the best case scenario is that the money will be deducted from your pay, and the worst case is immediate termination.

The latter has happened to the employee in this Reddit story, and we can definitely understand their frustration in this situation. OP (original poster) followed the exact procedure when they received the bills, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It was only when they were called by the boss that they found out that they had accepted two fake $100 bills, which led to their immediate termination from their job.
