I thought that was pretty ridiculous too. A program that fosters dependence deserves better than a counter-descriptive name.

Really not true. LA tried it but I believe that the court said no.

All banks here give out free coin rolls all you have to do is ask for them.I’d assume it was that way everywhere.She could’ve rolled her own rolls before she went to the store then she would not have had more than $5 in loose change and there would have been no problem.She is a dumb woman.
To: heartwood
They can weigh them at the service desk they know what each should weigh and also they make you put your name and phone number on the rolls just incase.

I still ask for quarters from stores and they look at me like an alien. You need quarters for the laundry and the stores ARE the ones trying to protect their quarters..I’m for the lady.
I don’t get...someone is PAYING for groceries and NOT BEGGING for money. Good grief this country.

Jerks that want to sue a business can always get a free lawyer.

The value of the check is 0.2 cents ($0.002).
eπi = -1 and the sum of the infinite series approaches 1 as a limit. So $0.002 - $1.00 + $1.00 = $0.002.
QED.

To: Morgana
The “e raised to the power pi i” is another way of saying ‘negative one’. The summation adds up to 1. The two cancel each other out and the amount of the check is therefore two tenths of a cent.

& p i ; (without spaces) also works for π and is easier to remember.

Make the check out for $i and say - "imagine that you are being paid".

I don’t know of any smokers who quit drinking or going to bars because of the smoking bans.

I quit going to bars — but didn’t quit drinking :) — because of the smoking bans. I know of a few others too. I think the colder the climate, the more people like me you’ll find; smoking outside in January/February can be harsh.

Yours is the most sensible idea. Set a limit of paying with coins at $5.00 at the register and ask anyone with more then that to go to the service desk.
BTW, you can also check out at the service desk.

Only these days it’s a darn EBT credit card so that people won’t be “embarrassed” to use food stamps.

Yet bar owners report a 30% drop in business following the ban.

A check to Verizon for $536.49, you must have everything that Verizon offers. I would hope that you change carriers because that is too much.

"The store has their right to set their policies." Yes, they do. Of course refusing to accept legal tender will get you into all sorts of issues a business doesn't want to be in.
Bottom Line the Store was dumb. They got a snoot full of bad publicity for no good reason.
