From Google's point of view it's more like:
"Sorry, I cannot accept this bill, and since you presented counterfeit money to me once, then you are prevented for the rest of your life to enter these premises again".
I'm not saying this is right, but I think it's the more apt analogy.
- alanfranz 7y agoAt least there's a reason AND a felony. If a customer steals at my restaurant, that's a good reason to deny him service forever. But I'll probably contact police about it as well.
- jaclaz 7y agoWell, but then, even in our not-so-perfect world, there are still some nuances based on the actual (criminal) act. The customer would be arrested by the police, then he/she would be subject to a trial and IF actually found guilty would be sentenced to - say - six months of jail. If he/she had actually killed someone, then he/she would probably get thirty years or a life sentence. But here we are still talking about someone who (BTW presumably in good faith) presented the "wrong" piece of paper (a fake bill that he maybe got as change from another restaurant) at the counter of your restaurant to pay the bill, and that was (again presumably) ready to give you another "good" banknote to pay for the service. I don't think (actually hope) the restaurant owner would call the police for this.
- kadoban 7y agoExcept it's in no sense of the word "counterfeit", right? So the analogy falls apart pretty hard for me. It's more like that old Taco Bell $2 bill story.
- pb7 7y agoIt may not be counterfeit but if Google has a wealth of data indicating that this usage pattern results in fraud then it might as well be the digital form of counterfeit.
- YawningAngel 7y agoNot really. They might refuse to accept it for policy reasons but that doesn't mean that attempting to pay with it is a bad-faith act akin to paying with a counterfeit bill.
- sterlind 7y agoYou'd never know. They'd never tell you. They'd just be giving you the silent treatment whenever you came in the building with no explanation.
- wlesieutre 7y agoOr like paying with a $20 and being banned, because even though your $20 is completely real, it’s a popular bill for counterfeiters to use.
