１０万円が １００万円に：ドジな 銀行員 2018/March/21

one hundred thousand yen becomes one million yen : clumsy bank clerk

１９日、ある 男の 裁判が 行われました。

その 男は、去年、銀行で 両替を 頼みました。

男は 銀行員に「１万円札 １０枚」を「１,０００円札 １００枚

」に 両替して 欲しいと
頼みました。

ところが、銀行員は 間違えて「１万円札 １００枚」を 男に 渡

して しまいました。
男は その １００万円を 持って帰りました。
銀行は 後で 間違いに 気が ついて、男に ９０万円の 返金を
要請しました。

ところが、男は 銀行の 要請を 拒否した そうです。

結局、銀行は その 男を 訴えました。
裁判の 結果、男は 有罪に なりました。

日本の 社会は まだまだ「現金主義」です。

小銭や １,０００円札が 必要な 場面が けっこう あります。

両替の 頼み方を 知って いますか。

「すいません。１万円を １,０００円（札）に 両替できますか
？」です。
もっとも、お店の レジに「両替 お断り」って 書いて あったら
、
両替して くれませんから、注意して ください。

それにしても、ドジな 銀行員ですね。
