Last weekend I worked on turning change into money. It is irksome
that people do not treat change as money. I had tried to convince my
aide, who had gotten static from the big grocery store's cashiers,
that it was ridiculous to duck her head and be apologetic about
presenting REAL Money.
Was she apologetic when presenting other clients' food stamps? No she
said because
it was a plastic card that is slid through.
Well, i countered, in a time of unemployment and uncertainty, she was
not to take any guff
for giving them hard cash. If they had a problem, have them call me.
This is still legal tender in the U.S.
Dear Gerry, your wondrous plastic holders made it more palatable
for her to present the change.
Though (sigh) despite the fact that i wrote down how much each roll
held and how much it added up to, i still spent an inordinate amount
of time explaining and reexplaining. 35 x 5= 1.75 and
10 of them is $17.50..... but progress was made!
Thank you so much Gerry as thus far I've bundled up about $100
worth of change --- nearly two
week's groceries, which has eased my economic constriction a bit. I
treated myself to organic cocoa, a quart of goat's milk and a
container of hummus. These little plastic things are
wonderful!!!!!!!
Thank you for hearing my cry of frustration and need and answering
it. Bless you!
