I wonder where they got the idea.

I wouldn’t have stopped in the first place............

fractions of a penny!...................

Walmart asks if we want to donate the change to feed somebody (can’t remember who). Nope. It might go to feed a Democrat, and we’ll have none of that. We give our change to help fund the youth group at church for their snacks, outings, etc. They collect change from the members just for that, so we all “save up”.

I know, what’s going on? QFC does not give change back. Where does the change go, back onto my debit card or into their pockets?

Woman I know with a coffee shop/ breakfast place has sign
up explaining she will round price off to
nearest dollar, up or down.
At a Dunkin Donuts I was charged 8 dollars
even for a small frozen coffee and a sausage egg and cheese.Either they formulated the price so that with tax it ends up on nearest dollar or maybe it
was $7.70 or something and they just
said “eight dollars”.

Federal Reserve: Why do U.S. coins seem to be in short supply?

Business and bank closures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly disrupted the supply chain and normal circulation patterns for U.S. coins. While there is an adequate overall amount of coins in the economy, the slowed pace of circulation has reduced available inventories in some areas of the country.

The Federal Reserve is working with the U.S. Mint and others in the industry on solutions. As a first step, a temporary cap was imposed on the orders depository institutions place for coins with the Federal Reserve to ensure that the current supply is fairly distributed. In addition, a U.S. Coin Task Force was formed to identify, implement, and promote actions to address disruptions to coin circulation.

Since mid-June, the U.S. Mint has been operating at full production capacity, minting almost 1.6 billion coins in June and is on track to mint 1.65 billion coins per month for the remainder of the year.

As the economy recovers and businesses reopen, more coins will flow back into retail and banking channels and eventually into the Federal Reserve, which should allow for the rebuilding of coin inventories.

Doesn't sound very plausible.

..and places like McDonald’s have signs
up asking to pay by card or exact change
due to coin shortage.A Sheetz in PA
had the same story, “there’s a coin
shortage...”

[raccoonradio]

..and the coffee shop is cash only,
ATM available ($2 fee) if needed

[TangoLimaSierra]

Was in Lowes last evening and they had signs at the registers “NO CASH ACCEPTED DUE TO NATIONAL COIN SHORTAGE”.

Next time pay in coins. See what they say.

I’ve been pissed for years that Walmart has not-so-subtly been closing registers to direct shoppers to self checkout. I HATED it, but did it a couple times. Shoved in my bills, got my change, and left.

I tried last week, and the Walmart self checkout no longer accepts cash — only cards. I threw my items on a nearby flat surface and left the store.

I’m sick of this crap.

If you are in line in front of a line of customers, you don't want to look like a cheapskate or a Scrooge, so you acquiesce and let them do it.

Take your hand and put it behind your back, right in the middle. Feel that hard thing there? It is called a back bone.

Now straighten up, take a deep breath, open your mouth and say, "No."

No is a two letter word that signifies refusal.

It is easy to say and the more you say it to bullies the better you will feel about yourself.

Embrace the gift of "No."

[Red Badger]

Our Wally World closes all registers at 9-10 pm and only self checkouts are left...............

[MayflowerMadam]

That would be a problem if people don’t have or use plastic.

[Red Badger]

[Red Badger]

After 9 pm, EBT shoppers.............kinda Latino looking..............

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Eenie, meenie, miney, No.

[goodnesswins]

When I’m asked if I’d like to “round up”... I say “not today”... implying I’ve done it at other times. I have also said I give to other charities”...I DO NOT LIKE them asking for money for THEIR charity...I imagine many asking don’t like having to ask either.
