I haven’t been to a dollar store in awhile. But I sometimes go to my favorite gas station/convenience store, and they have a sign asking for exact change if paying in cash because there is a coin shortage. In fact my grocery store, WalMart, Target, etc all have some variation on that sign. I seldom have cash on me and I don’t like carrying around a lot of change because my purse has everything but the damn kitchen sink, and it fucking weighs a ton!
So I haven’t actually bought anything where I’ve paid cash since February, about six months now. How bizarre is that? These stores give people dirty looks when someone wants to pay cash and make them feel bad. I think that’s really messed up. And I agree with you that your dollar store is probably making quite a nice bit of money for the penny shortage scam. That shouldn’t even be legal.
