I so hate handing some small or medium-sized business a $100 bill, and almost never do unless I'm buying more than $20 of something. So far, I've never had one rejected or anyone ask me if I had a smaller bill. But at McDonalds when I did use one once or twice, the cashier would disappear with it into some back room.
