Do you want a c note.

you would have been surprised if he started singing in a C-note.

I note you asked for "Two Benjamin Franklins, one C-note ..."

That would be a little confusing, since the Ben Franklins are $100 bills and that would seem to pre-empt the possibility of a C-note being the same, for someone trying to decipher your (rather outdated) slang.

Maybe best to avoid slang in business transactions, especially in a contract -- you could end up buying stolen property, or selling your wife.

So instead of asking for three Benjamims, I asked for two Benjamins and one C-note.

3 one hundred dollar bills. Framing the request that way sounds like YOU don’t know what a cnote is. Most people ask for the same thing per category. I would never ask for two cups of joe and a mug of coffee. If I did I think the server would be correct to double check I wanted three servings of coffee. I think it was very courteous for the teller to clarify the request and ensure you got what you wanted. Great customer service

Well said.

It was because he genuinely did not know what a C-note is. Which seems to odd to me. He's a bank teller. He ought to know what a C-note is. Which was the point I was trying to make when I posted this.

why not just say three one hundred dollar bills, a twenty and four singles

like the 20-somethings in the '90s all wearing khaki slacks and loafers without socks and driving Mazda Miatas. They all worked in low-level finance. Damn, they were kewl.
