This is ridiculous

[AmigaMan]

Give the poor fellow a break....

Grocery refuses to take loose change so man can buy food for his baby

If I were at that store, I'd go buy a beat the dumbass manager upside his head! </rant>

 

[samgau]

The world is going crazy... makes me thing of the dark ages in europe.... mob mentality everywhere...

 

[Pastore]

if i was behind that guy in line i would have bought the damn groceries for him...

assholes will be just that...

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

That is the MOST pathetic thing I have ever heard of and those people should be fired. Instantly. My god, what is this world coming to??

 

[WTT0001]

I would too. The grocery store I work at takes rolled coins, no problem. I havn't even heard of coin rolls containing anthrax?!?

<< grocery store refused to accept the coins, citing a fear of anthrax. >>


Anthrax?? sad sad sad

I believe an appropriate category for this kind of behavior would be "Asinine".

Stupid Market Basket.
Some of them have bad customer service, I guess like this one.

 

[AmigaMan]

and you know, just when the world is always complaining about fathers who don't take care of their children, when one of us actually tries, we get beat down and stomped on.

He should get free groceries for a year from that place from the salary of the manager who refused his money.

 

[Kenazo]

it's the end of the world as we know it..........


i wouldn't be surprised if within the next 10 years we will be seeing massive war, just b/c the grocery store wouldn't take this guy's coins.

The only way a store can refuse loose change is by having a sign that specifically says you can't do that. Since all money says "legal tender" on it, that is a contract the store has to abide by.

<< where rolled coins concealed a powdery substance. >>


ANY paper produces a powdery substance when cut or torn.



<< ``I don't want to put a bunch of pennies in the drawer,'' >>


No way...I don't want MONEY! What does this look like, a business?

 

[SammyBoy]

that dude should either sue, (but you kinda need some money to do that, maybe get a charity lawyer)

or get some poor buddies together and kick that managers frikken azz

 

[yakko]

<< if i was behind that guy in line i would have bought the damn groceries for him...

If I was behind him in line I would leave my stuff and take the man to another store to shop.

You know, they have every right to refuse his money (even though I don't think they should have). But - because they thought his money had anthrax? They should be fired for sheer stupidity.

 

[TheBlondOne]

That is heartbreaking...poor guy.

But I figure they'll get theirs.... When people read that story something tells me there's gonna be quite a boycott.
