Quarter shortage
Nov. 7th, 2006 09:42 pmSave your quarters! There is a severe quarter shortage in the country! Or, at least in Barberton, Ohio.
I needed a roll of quarters so I could do laundry. Today was pay day, so I tried to get one at the bank. They were down to their last roll of quarters, so they wouldn't give me any. Yes, that's right, the bank was out of quarters. That's just not right. I can hardly even get my mind around that concept. I mean, it's the BANK. They're the ones with the money! I just... I mean... WHAT?
The bank is inside a Giant Eagle, so they told me to try the Customer Service counter. I did. They wouldn't give me any quarters either! They said it was because they didn't have very many. (Yet another reason to despise that Giant Eagle.)
So I was really annoyed. I went to get gas at the store's Get Go, and just in case, I asked the attendant for a roll of quarters. He was hesitant at first, as if he's really not supposed to do that, but he gave me a roll, bless his heart. Maybe my clothes looked really dirty and he knew I needed to do laundry.
