Ugh, did you miss the part about being detained in public view at the front of the store for 2 hours? The part about telling other customers she was passing funny money? The part about not actually testing/checking the bills before ripping them?

Sounds like a whole cascading series of “mistakes”, that have NOT been rectified, other than the initial one involving the actual wrongful taking of her money.

I don't buy the "public view" argument for damages (people on line or passing by have forgotten this by now, and I'm sure nobody stuck around for the whole time to see how long she was there).

Sure, I'd gladly support either the store, a small claims court, or a jury awarding her for the value of her time, and maybe even a minimal amount ($200) for the aggravation this caused her. But I'm sure that's not what neither you or folks he support her suing the company are saying.
