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

Me too !!! Took me several years to get a debt card and I swear I didn't use it for the first year. And also. I still carry and use cash. I actually get a kick watching these millennials try and count change. Especially with finger nails that are like an inch long .
Remember when you went out you always needed to make sure you had dimes to make a phone call in an emergency? Then inflation....you needed 25 cents to make that phone call bc there were no cell phones back then.
Oh yes.... Then after like 5 minutes you had to add an nickel or something like that
Remember when making a long distance call when you were away at college or away from home, you had to go through the operator and reverse the charges ? LOL Riding the "city" bus and having to pay 3 cents for a transfer ticket? LOL I know, I'm really dating myself.
Lol
