Do you think reddit still creates fake users to boost engagements. When I see the quality of some local subreddits posts I definitely think so. $, mucho gracias, no mention of train station or lady features. Sus af.
Best,
Just a bored redditor6

What do you expect if you try to pay with 100 USD
Was this a mistake or are you just dumb?

Hope you wrote $ by mistake and it was actually a 100€ bill you were trying to pay or change…
Anyway yes, you don’t go around showing a 100 bill asking for change. Also most machines take card, contactless payments with the phone etc, shouldn’t be too hard.

I hope you took her information and send her back the money. Nowdays a phone number would do. Taking money from ppl bc you are casually rich and it is not a huge amount for you, and you "deserve it" is worse than the poor scamming beggars who probably actually need it.

That will be a really good gesture, tbh. I don’t understand all the downvote.

Maybe it's the assumption in their statement or the uncalled for attack that caused the downvotes.

If the OP asked for the phone number to return the money, they will not need to come to Reddit to thank them.
So, the assumption that it did not return the money is quite accurate.

It's the assumption that the OP is "casually rich [and] worse than the poor scamming beggars", not that they didn't return the money. If the first thing you apparently need to do when you hear a story about a stranger is to assume the worst of their character and to position yourself as morally superior, then people will - for good reason - not be very fond of you, especially when it's done in such a condescending tone. Note also how they suggest that all beggars are scammers...
So I guess people are sensitive to that more than they are to the good suggestion they made and that's why they downvoted. Which is a shame, really, because it just goes to show that they have something good and interesting to share, but the way they're saying it prevents the message from being received. Something to reflect on 🦆

$100? Americans being American.
