"On holiday from Scotland, we visited Hitchin on a Friday afternoon and went into Fabio 's for some treats. We ordered a range of items cakes, hot drinks and gelato. All was going great! Until we went to pay... 'sorry, we don 't accept Scottish bank notes. We didn 't make this decision the owner did. He doesn 't accept them as we can 't tell if they are real or fake '. We were gobsmacked. Fabio 's Gelato was only place we visited in England that didn 't accept Scottish notes. If you have an issue accepting bank notes from the greatest country of all time as payment, please invest in a counterfeit machine or pen to check the notes your customers are using are real. We could see the girl serving us thought it was ridiculous by the way she looked at us, and rightly so. Who was to say the English note we reluctantly ended up using wasn 't fake? This wasn 't checked for authenticity. Counterfeit machines are relatively inexpensive and would really allow more of your Scottish customers to enjoy your handmade gelato."
