Woman at Grocery Store checkout

Why does my bank keep giving me $50s and $100s when stores won’t even take them? What am I supposed to do?

Every time you go to the bank, you walk out with crisp $50s or $100s. Then you try to use one at a store, and suddenly it’s a problem. “Sorry, we don’t take big bills.” If they’re real money… why won’t anyone take them? And if no one will, why does the bank keep giving them to me?
