The short summary, man buys car radio at best buy, has it installed, later finds out it doesn't work with his car returns to Best Buy for a replacement. He is told the installation fee is waived because they put the wrong stereo in. He goes home satisfied over the resolution. Later he receives a call from Best Buy demanding payment for the installation, which he was told was free. They threatened legal action if he did not come in and pay the bill. He was pissed off a bit to say the least, so in protest he payed the bill entirely in $2 bills. He had always made a habit of having the bills on hand for novelty value. Remember that these bills are legal tender and you can obtain them at any bank.

No report yet on whether or not Best Buy management pulled their heads out of their asses and apologized to the guy yet.
