Reply #104: People (who are not even poor) take advantage of stores to empty their piggy banks. [View All]

[McCamy Taylor]

Customers take advantage of a cashier to dispose of the contents of a piggy bank or money jar because they do not want to be bothered rolling the coins themselves. One woman actually said "This is easier than taking them to the bank, because they want me to roll them first." In that case, it was a small store with a single register before Christmas. I waited thirty extra minutes as they counted out her pennies, nickels and dimes. The line was up to about 10-12 people by the time she was done.
