I was at the store a few days ago buying some thing and I was waiting in line for the register. When I ask myself “What the hell is taking so long?” So I leaned to the side and saw that the person that was paying was looking for exact change. This is a very annoying sight. I remember when I worked in Dunkin Donuts and people would try to pay in exact change and it would piss me off to no end. Its like for the love of GOD (I used God figuratively because I am not religious) just give the woman a 20.
It seems to me like people are afraid that they wont get their change back. I find it frustrating finding exact change. It takes time and effort. So much so that Id rather not even pay in cash rather use my credit card/debit. Yea I know what your thinking. That it takes just as much time to do that as it do to pay in cash. Well sure it does if your an idiot. Its simple as hell. You swipe a card and scribble something on a paper. Now i say scrible because you know just as well as I do that no one actually signs it. Also no one actually checks for ID thats some old shit. That is only used for buying products that are age restricted.
To solve this problem of people having too much change stores like Stop & Shop have put in Coin Stars in all of their stores. For those of you that don’t know what the Coin Star is, is a machine that counts the all the coins that you put in it and gives you a total and you can then use the receipt that it gives you to use it for your store purchases or just get it in cash. The first time I used the dam thing I racked up some $106 dollars. 106 in fucking pennis, nickels, dimes, and quarters. I was a happy jerk that day.
