Quarter Customer

[Samaliel]

Couldn't he just pick a snack, or some other really cheap item he might need or want, and pay with a bill, and ask nicely for change to come in quarters ?

I don't know if this would have changed anything for him, depending on store policy, but usually, around here, this works. Of course, the most important part is to ask nicely.

Being nice does so much wonders one can only wonder why not everyone is nice.

Maybe it's just me, but that's one thing i don't understand. If you're out at a store, you're already away from home, you could drive your butt to a bank to get the quarters!

I dunno, I think I expect too much from people

Not when banks are usually open only 6 hours of the day. We don't know when this occurred.

My boss FORBIDS us to sell any change at all.
Why? The banks in this town now CHARGE you for "buying" rolls of change.

I tell the customers this and they call me a liar.

I don't get many rolls of quarters either where I work. (We start with 4 rolls, that have $10 each in quarters).

However, I am usually able to give out ONE roll if someone asks... I usually end up having 1 or 2 left at the end of the day anyway.

Last time I did it was for a little girl who wanted to play the claw machine and win some prizes for a bunch of her friends. It was cute.

Yesterday, a customer wanted 2 rolls of quarters. Since we can't give rolls of quarters out anymore, I told the customer that we couldn't spare any rolls. The customer wasn't happy and mentioned that he needed them to do his laundry. I got the money from him so I could see if I could get him the quarters.

My service desk coworker wanted to know what was going on when I got into the cash room and I told her. She mentioned that we weren't allowed to sell rolls of quarter and I told her that I told the customer that.

I relayed the news to the customer. He wanted the person who said that we couldn't sell quarters to him so I got my service desk coworker and she took over.

The customer mentioned that he shopped in the store all the time and my service desk coworker told him that his not getting the rolls of quarters had nothing to do with that. She explained that we didn't have enough quarters to spare since we don't get as much change as we used to. I was working in the cash room while she was talking to the customer. She allowed him to have a few dollars in quarters and eventually the customer left.
