People who work in retail or have worked in retail in the past: Does your store have a policy for dealing with $100 bills (as being potentially counterfeit)?

Does the store you work for have a policy or training for dealing with potentially counterfeit one hundred dollar bills? Using a pen on them or holding them up to the light?

A friend works for a nationwide home renovation store (whose initials are HD) and as cashier, she just accepted a bunch of hundred dollar bills which turned out to be counterfeit. She told me the store has no policy for cashiers to deal with these bills. She had brought pens in to use (pens she purchased herself on Amazon) but she was told not to use them as it would insult the customers. I found it hard to believe that this huge national store chain has no policy for counterfeit and I googled it and it was true – no policy. She is guessing that they deal with this issue by using insurance.

She’s not in trouble, but I find it amazing that there’s no policy for something that is so big and so potentially harmful.
