Are cashiers really testing notes for cocaine? That's insane.

What's even the point? It's still legal tender, I don't think they can refuse it.

I think that might be a myth? If I tried buying a $0.50 candy bar with a hundred-dollar bill, I think that the cashier might refuse it and I don't think they'd get in trouble for doing so.

I thought the "legal tender" argument only worked in regards to debts to the government, though IANAL.

Another distinction here is that a store is offering a contract. It isn't a debt until the contracted is accepted.
