PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Customers who want to pay with a $100 bill at a Rhode Island chain of restaurants will now have to fill out a form.
All four locations of Gregg’s will now require a name, phone number and driver’s license number whenever someone pays with a $100 bill.

Owner Bob Bacon tells WPRI-TV (http://bit.ly/WDTTkf) that it’s because they have received around a half dozen fake $100s in the last few months.
He says the policy is not about getting restitution if they receive a fake bill. He says it’s about creating a paper trail so they can track down whoever is making the fake bills.
Bacon tells WJAR-TV (http://bit.ly/WGHKMH) they haven’t received any fake bills since they instituted the policy earlier this month.
