At least one Kroger in our area has stopped providing change back due to this bullsh!t " coin shortage ". I'm not a conspiracy theorist and I'm not going to "go there".
But I still got $0.31 back in change when using my debit earlier today.
I can't believe some of these stores are trying to distance themselves on providing change. It's ridiculous. Says it will be credited on "Loyalty card"?
Im shocked so many people still use cash. I havent used cash at a store in years
People who use cash are less likely to overspend or spend their money on something frivolous. It's easy to just whip out a credit card or debit card because you don't see the money leaving your hands. People who never use cash are more likely to carry a balance on their credit card(s). Credit cards are great for convenience but money experts say that if you do not have the money in your bank account to cover the purchase at that time, you shouldn't buy it.
Ideally, we'd abolish the penny about now. And the nickel, and hopefully the dime.
How does the mint lose money making money? Ask Jarden Zinc.
Personally, I'm not convinced we need a coin smaller than a quarter.
Don't like it? If you aren't 8 years old, use a card; it's ****ing 2020.

And I will continue to use cash. If I go to a Fast Food restaurant order total if less than $5.00 you expect me to use a card? No I will use cash and expect change and coins. If they are out of coins not my problem round it down nearest dollar.

Actually yeah. what difference does the amount matter? You can expect change all you want. They will tell you you need to have exact change or gtfo. Their not gonna round **** out for you lol. Get outta the past and embrace the future.

Heres an idea, if youre gonna cry about it then DONT shop there! Youre not entitled to anything.
...the girl asked the hot dog stand proprietor for change. Whatever.
Change.
Except, change for a ****ing quarter.
There's some weird parts there. First, just asking to break a quarter. Except, seriously. In all seriousness. Wanting to break a quarter. Like you could actually do something with nickels and dimes except throw them at cars.
I mean, conceptually, I guess inflation is a thing and there's stuff about stagflatation and ok boomer and I'm too drunk foir this.
Speaking of movies, I suddenly remember going to the movie theater with my grandma. Remember going to the movie theater? AMC is ****ed. Holy crap. Turns out she's one of them folk that spends five minutes digging around her purse for her coin purse so she can spend five more minutes counting out nickels and pennies.
A while back, some jerk paid for cigarettes with a Series 1934 fifty dollar bill. Worth something like $5k back then, only intended for interbank transfers since electronics weren't really a thing.
I forgot where I was going, but ablosih teh penny or something. Coins are for coinstars.

The 60s ...........over 50 years ago so jobs paid less then, and groceries and other items cost much less than. So a quarter was worth more than it is today. Which explains why it was common to "break a quarter" . Otherwise................ sleep off your drunk, and get back with us when you can formulate your comments more coherently. I think you might have some good points there........somewhere.........

Its funny how people lose touch with how other generations grew up, the Internet has only caused more of a disconnect. Yes, its nice to be connected, but what have we and next generations lost? While I can't speed for everyone the few years I remember of the 80's/early 90's was the best, you had some technology, music and it wasn't all doom and gloom. The used to have $500 and $1000 bills, which was basically the equivalent to a few $100K.
Hell, clothing retailer is basically dead unless your highly specific or trendy. Jewelry Stores are goners, Music/Video Stores...gone, surprised there are so many bank branches still. I'm guessing this will cause a large percentage of people to also discontinue using cash. Everyone download the Venmo APP now..........

Why would anyone pay 20 bucks for a cd when they might only like 2 or 3 songs plus cds scratch too easy. Renting movies from blockbuster waste of time to go there cause new releases would get raided and none left, long lines as well. Turn on the Ps4 and pick a movie.
