    Does your self check do cash? When I have $10 in change I just spend it at the store with the cash self check. If you are not hurting anything the host doesn't care.
    I do that too, especially if I have a lot of pennies, nickels and dimes. Lessens the weight in my purse, and the store can certainly use the change more than I can!
    I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

      Back when toll booths use to take pennies, my brother kept a bag of them in the car. Grab a handful and toss them in the toll basket. If the light didn't turn green, toss in another handful.

        Is it really worth having cash in hand if that $10 in loose change turns out to be slightly less than $9 once the fees are taken out?
        For some people the $9 is bus fare or dinner.

          … does that mean that my adorable rendering having given Mr.Lincoln vampire teeth, glasses and a comic moustache would get me into trouble....
          Don’t forget to give him a more impressive Dumbledore-ish beard too.

            At my old job, I was the only one who knew how to unjam the Coinstar/only one who wanted to do it. Manager let me claim anything I wanted from the reject jar; the Coinstar rep would just throw it all out when he emptied the machine anyway.

            Among the things I found was a souvenir NYC penny with the Twin Towers skyline. I looked that up and there were only two penny machines with that design; one was at a service plaza on the Thruway and the other was in one of the towers.

            Also found some foreign coins for my collection, a couple ounces of silver coins (US and otherwise), a few antique-looking random pins and a men's gold ring missing the stone. I threw the ring in my "junk box" for a few months because I thought it was plated (who would throw out gold right?), then decided to take it with some scrap gold to sell. That ring base turned out to be worth $200.
