The cashier would want to verify the notes being tendered, faff about looking for a fresh crisp fifty.<BR/><BR/>That's time being paid for by the bank's customers and financed by the bank's shareholders.<BR/><BR/>It's a market economy, though, so he could always have taken his business, such as it is, elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>How likely would it be that he could convince a passing member of the public to exchange the banknotes for him?
