It must be so much fun to take it out on the poor cashier who is just trying to make a living. Just remember, a lot of companies will take the money out of the persons wages if they take notes that are forged. Cosidering a lot of people in England are not used to dealing with Scottish money on a daily basis, I don't blame them for not accepting Scottish notes. But do'nt let the fact you embarrassed, humiliated and belittled another human being spoil your fun. Childish is not the word, I think you will find nasty is more apt.
