Fake money is relatively easy to detect - for people who handle cash on a daily basis. You get used to the feel and look of banknotes - making it easier to spot the fakes. Credit cards are a different matter... Is the person presenting the card the right gender for the card details (you'd be surprised how many crooks don't think of that !). Does the person look like a genuine shopper (are they scruffy etc). If there's any doubt - the store can call the card company to see if it's been reported stolen. The store always has the right to refuse to serve a customer - without giving a reason.
