Went to Lowes today and like every other 9 out of 10 trips I leave pissed off without what I went for, today it was the cause of a "coin shortage" . I go to pay for my items and the clerk tells me there is a coin shortage therefore I can either round up my total or use a card, I immediately asked for a manager .... Manager comes over to explain to me there is a "coin shortage" again I may either round up my total if paying cash or use a card, I explained to her I am in business and deal with a few different banks and there is no coin shortage that I have seen, she goes on to tell me their coin supplier is Loomis and there is a shortage with them, I asked if so, why should their prob cost me $$$, she asked how ..if loomis is playing games with the system and Lowes is either in on the game playing with loomis which I am sure is backed by the fed or simply too lazy to find a different coin supplier or send a manager to a bank, then it is their problem. Why would you round my total up and not down ???? You are providing a lower level of service to me. She said that is how it is I am sorry what else may I do to help you today. I said you can put this stuff back on the shelf I am DONE shopping here. does anyone have any evidence of loomis being instructed to play games with coin circulation with box box retailers ?? This coin shortage is such bullshit

Wish I could like this 1000 times. Yes! Pay in pennies!!
Better yet, roll the pennies, short every roll 1 penny so they all are the same size, give yourself a 2% discount if they are too lazy to open them and count them out, let them make the change out of your last roll, that way they are the ones giving you the discount unknowingly. It'll also help them with their "coin shortage" so maybe they be thankful for all the pennies you brought to help them out.
lmfao, genius
No stop you’re being too cruel
I'm old as well as old fashion. We still pay for our groceries etc. with cash.
