6. Asking for 2 Benjamin's and a c note doesn't sound like asking for

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

The term was popularized by early 20th century gangster films. In recent decades, it's been displaced by "Benjamins". eppur_se_muova Sep 11 #4
