Yes , but the parties in question should be you and the company running
the shop, not you and girl behind the till. The company will know that
scottish notes are legal tender but unfortunately people on the shop floor
sometimes get confused. Or are just plain thick.

We are going round in circles now, but the concept of legal tender is
irrelevant to purchasing items in shops. As pointed out further up the
thread, legal tender related to settling debts, not making purchases, as
explained he

When purchasing an item, the vendor is free to accept or refuse any type
of payment they wish. It is only in cases where a debt has been run-up
(such as consuming a meal in a restaurant before paying for it) that
legal tender becomes relevant.
