here's a hundred thousand dollar bill:

Would I get fined, kicked out, or would they give me change? I have the right to argue that my bill is legal tender, right? I should have the right to do what I want with my money

They would probably wonder what it was because odds are that they never saw it before. Then, they would assume that you are really important and give you your stuff for free...

You'd be a counterfeiter since there has never been a $100,000 bill in circulation!
The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. The notes were used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public.

Actually a business owner has the option of taking your money or not.....at least in Georgia that is the case. I found that out the hard way. My car stalled because it needed anti-freeze and I happened to have left the house that day without grabbing my cash or my credit cards. All I had was a bag of change. So I gathered up about 8 dollars in change and went into the corner store and he refused to sell me the antifreeze. Of course I went home and called my Attorney right away and he told me the guy was perfectly within his right to not take my change. BIG EYE OPENER THERE.
By the way the call was free.

You would probably be arrested. Seriously. Even if it was a genuine note.
The following is copied directly from the US Treasury web site:
The $100,000 Gold Certificate was never released into general circulation and was only used in fiscal channels. This note cannot be legally held by currency note collectors.
If it was legal to use, I would probably tell you that you just bought the store and leave.

Since these are no longer in circulation, the store could require you to go to a bank to get it exchanged for other currency. Only money that is still in circulation can be used for purchasing, or at least that is what I assume.

If it is a real $100,000 dollar bill only a fool would spend it. It is out of circulation so it is worth a lot more than face value to collectors. Try selling it at one of their conventions

They would tell you they cannot provide change for a $100,000 bill.
