Moral Dilemma

[imported_LoKe]

I want to buy something at the store that costs about, $7.27. I've got a $5 bill and 80 cents in quarters/dimes.

That leaves me short by about, $1.47.

Now, I've got a large jar of pennies...but none of the little rolls. Would it be acceptable to walk into a store with $1.47 in pennies? Would that make me an ass?

 

[BIGk]

it would make you a bigtime ass

 

[imported_LoKe]

Bump.

 

[DAGTA]

It may be annoying but it is legal tender so it's not a problem, other than annoying the cashier. If it's something you really want, go for it.

 

[MBrown]

Do it . On second thought don't do it. You would look pretty bad.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Do it, just so you could say you did it.

 

[Toonces]

can't you use interac?

>$5.00 shouldn't be a problem

coinstar?


Some places won't accept pennies if they aren't rolled. Might as well try though. That or buy some rolls with the $5 and start rolling the pennies.

If you have to ask....

BTW: CoinStar FTW!

Don't have a coinstar here. Good news though; found four rolls which is $2 worth of pennies. Would they be pissed off if I gave them four rolls?

 

[KarenMarie]

rolls are fine.

if that ever happens again, go to customer service and cash them before shopping.

 

[Vegitto]

Just pay them in loose pennies .

I hate to do this to people. It makes me feel horrible. I probably wouldn't have gone if I hadn't found the rolls...but since I did...brb.

$7.27 CAD.

I wish I could get american tins. You get twice as much for the same price. Also, you have Peach, we don't.
