Reply #127: Just read an article about a movement to save money by eliminating paper dollars [View All]

Seems that Republicons, eager to pare government spending in these austere times (according to the NYT), have championed a changeover from greenbacks to dollar coins. Looks like this may be the wave of the future and perhaps merchants might want to rethink their way of doing business as customers walk in with bags full of coins to complete their transactions. Be sure to point out it's what Repubs want. Should make it easier to deal with. Sigh...

Glad Fred Meyer came around. I spend a good deal of time and money at my local Freddie's, so I feel better about them knowing this. Roguevalley is right--I'm pretty sure Fred himself would never have put up with a customer being treated that way. He was, of course, one of a kind!

Peace
