I understand paying with coins, I guess (no banks nearby to get bills?). But could she not at least have rolled the coins first? This would have sped things up immensely. Why is her time more valuable than the cashier’s? (and those behind her in line)
Do we even know that she has an account at any bank.
Do you know that you have to have an account at a bank to do what you asked? Some banks may do it if they need the coins that day or are just nice. Most however require an account.
If she was this destitute she may not have a bank account.
Still a problem with rolled coins - how can the cashier tell that a roll of quarters doesn’t have only 38 in it, or 10 Chucky Cheese tokens, or a couple of French francs? She’s still got to open them and count them.
In my experience, (from a long time ago in the 70’s), if you went through the trouble of rolling the coins, all the cashier would do would be to dump the rolls and count/verify the coins anyhoo. Just to make sure it wasn’t subway tokens or whatever.
Total waste of time rolling the coins when a machine can count out 32 bucks worth in about 14 seconds...
