Curious Phenomenon in DC

I get this in cabs all the time, but it also happens in shops and
stores in DC too; they don't have change for $20 bills. WTF?

You're a retail business on K St NW, smack in the middle of downtown, and you can't make $20 worth of change on Friday afternoon? I find this mind boggling.

they don't give change b/c they don't want to have deal with the possibility of someone giving them counterfeit money.

Everybody runs out of change in DC because ATMs here almost always give out nothing but twenty dollar bills, and if a store isn’t near a bank or fast food, there’s no way to get more small bills when they run out.

Please, there are banks all over downtown that stay open until 6 or 7pm on Fridays. Most PNC branches are open until 6pm every night of the week. Also, what city doesn't have ATMs that give out twenties almost exclusively?

Don't they have to pay to get change from the bank?
