Went to the local change(Coinstar) machine yesterday, and the machine, had on its screen a message, that it could not take anymore coins, because it was full.
Well today, went to the local superstore, and the coin machine had the same message.
Is the economy that bad?
You can’t get some paper sleeves and load you own rolls to transact at your bank?
Be careful with change machines.
You could change yourself into something that doesn’t have the physical ability or the mental ability to use the machine to change back.
Whenever I move, (every 2-4 years) the change gets cashed in. It was about $250 this time.
Almost every time we’ve gone to our local one, it has said ‘out of order’. People just don’t clear them out or fix them.
How about “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Right now they’re charging 11.9%, though you can take repayment in the form of a gift card at no charge
It could be that they don’t service the machine every day. Maybe once a week?
It could also be that someone else is cashing in a lot of change and is just beating you to the machine every day.
Ask the store when the machine will be serviced.
Why the need for such a machine?
Can’t one simply self identify as something else?
I know the interest they charge, is outrageous, but one does pay for convience.
Is the economy that bad?
I'd say that is the first thought that comes to mind - people digging loose change out of the sofa.
Of course, it could also be that the company that maintains the machines is understaffed, like every other company seems to be. I've been trying to get people out to my office to service the ice machine and re-stock the break room vending machines with fresh snacks and drinks - it's like pulling teeth to even get a response text.
I think you missed the point.
No quarter given, no quarter expected.
OK, WHAT is the point?
Maybe that more ppl ARE looking under the couch cushions for spare change, it’s getting that bad.
They choose the path where no one goes.
Yes. Pt hints cost too much.
Everything way up because of The Steal.
I’m a FIRM believer in using ca$h for most daily, local, retail transactions.
I carry a few buck$ of mixed coin to use to complete those transactions.
I have no buildup of coin.
Coin machines are a ripoff, though I did, for a while, use a Bank that had a coin counter machine in the lobby where one could take the receipt to a cashier and deposit it at 100%.

Pt hints is things.
Autocorrect is weird.
I get rolls of quarters at my local bank, sometimes 4 rolls of 20. No big deal.
