Your bookie ain't got nothin' on these fockers!

So I have a "loose change" jar on my dresser. You know the drill.......empty pocket each night of change, toss it in jar.

Well, the thing was full up to the nuts, so I decide to take it in to the bank. Well, I was running late, so instead of going to my bank, I went to the one right up the street.

Teller: Hi. May I help you?
Me: Yes, please. I would like to get some paper money for these coins.
Teller: Do you have an account with us?
Me: Why, no.....I do not.
Teller: Then there will be a 10% fee.
THUD! (sound of my jaw hitting the faux Italian marble floor!)
Me: 10% charge for WHAT?
Teller: Well, we have to run the change through the machine........
Me: And that costs people 10% of their money?.......So, if I wanted change for a hundred, are you gonna give me $90?
Teller: No, sir.
Me: Well, save the "wear and tear" on your machine, hun.

What a fuhking scam! If you don't belong to a credit union, you're an idiot!

Banks are a joke with the "fees" they charge for every little thing that they do!

These guys make bookies look like saints!

Remember the old days where you had to roll those suckers up yourself?

Charging someone 10% to drop coins in a machine is inexcusable.

I know of grocery stores that only charge 1% for the same thing. You may try taking it there.

It never fails when you think your jar should produce atleast 50 bucks and it only comes out to about 17 instead.

Your bookie ain't got nothing on the Girl Scouts that keep selling me these cookies because they're more addictive than heroin. $3 for a 15-pack of Tag-a-long cookies. :shrug:

I think the coinstar machine you see in "major supermarkets" charges 8.9? Every 6 months or so I take my change to that machine and it does charge me an arm and a leg but if you don't have time to roll your coins....

Thank God for Credit Unions

CU is only way. No Charge. Total free checking. No extra amount other then what is needed to cover checks. No extra charge for small LC loans or Car Loans.

DJV,

This is the same bank that has a commercial showing a little kid taking his piggy bank in to them.

He has $99.99, and one of the bank "big wigs" comes by, and takes a penny from his own pocket, and tosses it in the hopper. The kids face lights up when he sees the meter read $100

I guess you can afford to add that penny, when you will be getting $10 back on it!

Cheap Mfers..................

I had been using thos coinstar machines for years. I recently checked all my reciepts and found that in three years I had pid them 115 dollars to count my change. I found a new solution for myself. My old lady is a pharmacist for a national chain, so every week I send my change to work with her and she changes into her cash register at work. I then put bills in the jar. Every little bit counts.

How about the people that drop

How about the people that drop

the newspaper in your yard that you didn't order and send a little 3 year old girl to the door to collect the money.
