It's sort of part of the whole doing your job thing though, they'll probably get found out for having accepted it

I have seen a lot of fake notes. I've never seen a convincing one... ever... If its not immediately obvious by sight (most of them are atrocious) then it's obvious as soon as you touch it.

I've seen a couple of okish ones, would expect anyone with more than a couple of months experience to realise but not necessarily a brand new starter or a 16 year old weekender. And that's kind of the thing with Scottish notes, even if someone doesn't think it seems right they might think 'ah maybe thats just how Scottish money is' or be intimidated into taking it if the person reacts like the bloke in the OP
