Some fuckwit gave me one of those in payment one time. He even laughed and said "Good luck with that"

Yes, you have to take them to the bank, nobody else will touch them

In the early days of the euro I got paid fully in cash and every now and then I got one of those in the envelope. I don't recall having trouble to pay with it... but those days are gone and haven't seen a 500 note in ages.

Not only they are not accepted in most private places, I think they are being recalled and slowly brought out of circulation
