Loose change
There’s an empty 5 gallon water jug that sits on the fireplace hearth and everyone in the house tosses their loose change into the jug. Every once in a while when there’s too much month left at the end of my paycheck, I’ll tap the jug for $20 - $30 and make it just fine those last 7-10 days.
Today I pulled some coin from the jug and drove down to the bank. I wanted two $20’s or even four $10’s instead of dragging rolls of quarters around. Would you believe the bank wouldn’t take them? The bank where I’ve had a checking account and a savings account for over 10 years! They said I had to deposit them into my account and wait until Thursday or Friday for my account to get the credit for them. I said, what? Aren’t these quarters legal tender? I want to change them in for bills. They said no!
If I’m still this steamed about it tomorrow I’m going to close out those accounts and find another bank.
