I can see the store's argument, but it really depends on things that you can't know. They _may_ have enough people passing big bills that it screws up their supply of change. They _may_ have had trouble with counterfeit 100s, and have decided not to bother with them anymore. I know, people can learn to tell the difference, but a harried 16-year-old counter clerk probably isn't very good at it, especially if the scammer is putting verbal pressure on him or her. And you can bet that people passing counterfeit $$ try to find the most inexperienced-looking clerks.
100s are the only thing worth counterfeiting anymore. You have to pass too many 20s, even too many 50s, to make a decent score, and there's a risk every time you pass one.
