REFUSAL TO TAKE A TAPE REPAIRED R100 NOTE

Good day,<br> <br> I shopped today in Standerton shop and had only a R100 transparent tape repaired note which I received either from an ATM or any other means of circulation.<br> <br> I was told they don't take torn or tape repaired notes, and that's their store policy! As a consumer, what control do I have over the notes I receive from other retailers and banks?<br> <br> Please help me understand, for now I am still very angry and hungry as I couldn't afford my meal of the day afterwards.<br> <br> Hope my query will be addressed accordingly and assist other consumers.
