Someone in the thread raised the possibility that the teller fill out a FinCEN Suspicious Activity Report against him. That would be downright hilarious.
I know that if I was a teller and had a guy come in, point at my $100 bills and say "give me this one", I'd probably be calling the police for attempted robbery. (Or something similar anyway.) I mean, did he even mention that he'd be paying $100 for it?
...That said, I myself had a somewhat sad experience with a shop cashier.
She liked me, mostly, and once saved a really old coin for me, like 200 years old. No idea where she got one in the first place, but whatever.
So I said it's all nice, but, like, this coin is probably very valuable, it might be worth as much as ten dollars, you'd better try to sell it. Okay, she said, if I don't manage to sell it in a week or so, I'll give it to you. I agreed.
I came in a week later, there was a different cashier, who said, oh, that lady, it's not her shift, she'll be back in two weeks.
I checked a few more times, got the same other cashier and the same return date.
The day before the date, I went by that shop again, and the other cashier was at the register, but the nice lady was standing nearby. Hello, I asked, what about the coin? What, that one, I gave it away to another guy. Wait, you're not returning until tomorrow, when did you manage that? Oh, just the day after you first asked. Wait, didn't you say you'll keep it for me? Well, I thought, if you really wanted it, you would've asked immediately. ARGH!
<- I literally did that, except not as forcefully
(I still do not have that type, incidentally, and it's been a year.)
Then she says that, um, sorry, I could give some other old coins to you tomorrow. So I come in the next day, and she shows me a bunch of worthless junk.
I mean, these coins were kinda old, sure (a few were older than me), but they were worth less than an 1964 nickel. Combined. And most were types (and in some cases dates) I already had, for that matter.
I said that I'd rather give her an old coin instead. She got offended, I think. But I eventually did give her some kind of (almost as worthless) old coin anyway.
So I can kind of imagine what would that guy feel. But it's still silly.
