I'm going to share a story

My mum went to Bournemouth to visit my late Uncle over 2 decades ago, they went to a store to get food and mum went to pay (we use the pound) but the cashier said to her "we don't take foreign money".

So mum asked for the manager, who told the cashier to accept it but the cashier wasn't for budging, basically calling my mum, a White person, a foreigner just because she gave the cashier Scottish banknotes. Mum told the shop to stuff it and walked out.

I'm surprised she didn't sue the shop for racism.

They found another shop a bit further on that did take her Scottish notes.

I've seen first hand where a place in England wouldn't take Scottish notes, but the reason they gave was not racist but rather because someone scammed them with fake notes so stopped taking them, which is fair enough.
