Unroll your own coin!

[Anakah]

We accept change at our casino but it has to be unrolled. We can't resell the rolled ones and people do put the wrong change in them to fill the roll.

This guy comes up with a HUGE box filled with sixty dollars worth of rolled pennies. He went to my co-workers window.

The man refused to help my co-worker unroll the coin-- at first. His wife later came in there and was like:
SW: Sucky wife
SH:Sucky husband

SW: Is this going to take long?

My co-worker is really sick of people and somehow he gets away with telling people straight up how he feels.

CW: well it would go faster if you'd help me.

They finally got the hint and decided to help him.

I called over the next customer in line (it was really busy) and who gets in my window? The husband from my CW's window!

Me: Uh.. Aren't you already in that window? I need to help get the line down.
(There were only two of us up there)

SH: What you don't want my money?
He plopped down some quarters.

ME: You know what? Nevermind. Here's a cup, unroll them.

I refused to help him. Besides its not my job to unroll them. I think I was a bit sucky but I didn't understand his logic and he was grumbling the whole time and being a jerk. Why come to my window when I didn't call him over?? In fact another customer was almost to my window when he just hopped into it.

I gave him his money and I guess out of habit he said thank you. He could tell I was furious. I hate it when people do that. If I'm not calling you, don't come to me!

So he figured he'd just monopolize 2 windows to get the employees to unroll his change? Nice.

Of course, I had the opposite problem...I wished people would just change their coins for bills BEFORE they came to me and save us all the hassle (because we also would have to open rolls and count them, though sometimes I just took the chance and didn't bother if it was busy).

I kinda love these situations. In fact, I make sure to stretch it out as long as possible. I'm being paid for it, so why not humiliate the customer. Bonus points if their are customers waiting.

What is rolled/unrolled cash?

I've never heard of it before

What is rolled/unrolled cash?

Rolled cash is the little sticks of coins you get from the bank, it's how you get huge amounts of coin, you know? Rolls of pennies in 50 cent increments, nickels in $2, Dimes in $5, and Quarters in $10.
Unrolled is all your change jumbled together, like if you keep any change you have in your pocket... and just toss it on the counter... that's loose change/unrolled.

this just makes me love those clear coin-rolls even more.

I hate the clear ones. They are a pain to open.

They're only a pain for me when someone decides to tape it shut with clear tape around the middle. Now, closing them. Especially with a cheaptastic company like my second theatre. We reused those things so many times that you couldn't close them, you had to use an elastic to keep it from dumping all its contents.

P.S. For Canadian rolled change, there's the added bonus of Loonies ($1) in $25 rolls, and Toonies($2) in $50 rolls.

The clear rolls are great for preventing fraud. Most places I have been, rolls are required to have the person's name, address and phone number on them. Some guy in New Mexico once took three banks for something like $4,000 with a rolled coin scam. Tellers at the banks flip open one end of a roll to see the coin. This guy put a coin in each end of the roll, then filled the rest with steel washers. Clear wrappers would have revealed such a ploy.

Pain to open, yes, but you can't get scammed!!!!!!
