    If This Happens Again I'm Telling Them to go to Coinstar...

    Tonight at work two teenage kids came in. They looked to be around the ages of 14-15 or so. They both get a sandwich and their order is "together." Their order was $10.95

    Low and behold both of them start fishing around in their pants and pull out what was literally a shitload of quarters and some dimes mixed in, and also a single $1 dollar bill as the metaphorical cherry on top.

    I just stood there seething with inner rage because I knew there really wasn't much else I could do about it. I think my face looked like this for about a minute:

    Then, not suprising in the least, they weren't even considerate enough to seperate it out in $1 piles for me. One of them gave a half-assed attempt but he was so sloppy about it I'd have to count it again anyway. I ended up having to count it all up.

    Next time this happens I'm pointing them to the nearest Coinstar machine which is merely a parking lot away at the grocery store in our strip mall.

    I don't mind when people pay with a ton of change.

    Because I make them stand there while I count out every. single. coin.

    And often I end up making a mistake, so I have to start all over.

    It amuses me.

      That's an awesome idea! I'm going to do that next time for sure.

          actually there is something you can do about it... you can refuse the coins.

          For our American friends: Check here for info.

          For Canadians like me: from the Currency Act:

          "(2) A payment in coins referred to in subsection (1) is a legal tender for no more than the following amounts for the following denominations of coins:

          (a) forty dollars if the denomination is two dollars or greater but does not exceed ten dollars;

          (b) twenty-five dollars if the denomination is one dollar;

          (c) ten dollars if the denomination is ten cents or greater but less than one dollar;

          (d) five dollars if the denomination is five cents; and

          (e) twenty-five cents if the denomination is one cent."

          Just an FYI
