"Your money's no good here."

A few years ago, I was watching John Carpenter's Stanley Kubrick's The Shining for the first time. It's a really good movie, and I enjoyed it as a really good movie, but what I'm remembering is a particular sequence.

In fact, I'm not even remembering that. I'm remembering a single exchange. A character is at the bar, and planning to buy a drink. The bartender tells him (it was a he) "Your money's no good here", and hands him the drink.

When I saw that scene, I was absolutely bewildered. The bartender just said his money's no good. How is going to pay for that drink?

I know what the phrase means now.* But it's still weird, to me.

* It means, "No charge for you, sir."
