I Want a Pack of Smokes and This Wine. Can You Break a Million?

This is a study in monumental failure.  A moron walks into a supermarket and throws a fit when the cashier can’t make change for his fake One Million Dollar bill.  When he starts smashing stuff up, the cops come and throw his stupid ass in the clink.

From the AP here:

Change for a million? That’s what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage.
 
The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun.

Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.

Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation.

Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.

That Dallas ministry got a visit by the Secret Service too.  Museum of Hoaxes has the background story on this fake bill.

You just know that this loser probably parted with something of real value to get that million-dollar bill, like maybe his grocery cart full of rubbish and discarded crap?  Then, thinking he was rich, but none the wiser, he went into the supermarket to buy some stuff and get his change, only to be shocked that supermarkets don’t carry that much change, and dammit, that pushy clerk took his bill too!
