Customers visiting shopping malls, super bazaars and retail markets were asked to shop more to utilise the “pink note” as no one had any change to return. Uppal resident M. Yanadi Reddy said he had shopped for groceries for Rs 1,700, but was told to buy more so that the bill amount could touch the Rs 2,000-mark. He said he had no option, but to buy extra products.
Smaller businesses were refusing to accept the Rs 2,000 notes for lack of lesser denomination notes. This resulted in some people going back to banks again to request the staff for smaller notes, but returned disappointed.
