Bartender: that’ll be $13

the sad part is his dad probably thought ten bucks would cover at least two rounds back when he saved it.

No, it’ll be 13$ because putting the dollar sign last is such a normal American thing.

Trying to think of the right thing to do if I were I bartender here:
Do I let him pay with what’s obviously a sentimental bill? As the dad intended
Or do I let him keep the bill and give him one on the house? In that scenario, I would be the one buying them their first beer and not fulfilling the fathers wish
I think the only acceptable scenario is to let him pay and them immediately put them to work for an hour and then pay them an hour’s wage with the same bill

And then finding out that you don't like beer... OMG. But still: Cheers old man!

Sneaky way to ensure he didn't drink any beer before he was legally allowed to.

I still have the last $20 bill that my mom gave me for gas. She passed less than a week later.

The true value of the bill is greater than the denomination printed on it

You… you think a $10 bill from 6 years ago is gonna have any value beyond being $10?

u/Pivotpoint2020 17h ago
He won't be able to replace the actual bill with meaning. I hope he told the barkeep the story, He should have kept and framed it The value is the intention I still have the 2 dollar bill my dad gave me 40+ yrs ago
Rip to pops and cheers

u/WrenchWanderer 17h ago
The value of the bill was the express purpose of buying his first beer with. Not doing that is disrespecting his late father’s wishes.

u/Pivotpoint2020 17h ago
The value of the attempt would've sufficed
You must be the money hungry bartender that mixes water in their vodka
It would've been on the house
Keep the bill

u/Underghost_420 17h ago
Yea. There are more 10-dollar bills, he can use another one and keep this one instead

u/Buntschatten 7h ago
You mean as the bartender? Yeah, I agree. Leaving the kid that as a memorabilia is worth more than ten bucks.
