We have signs at my store that ask customers to, if possible, pay with exact change or a card. The signs are creating a lot of hostility even though we have enough coins (as of Monday, I've been off a few days) to make change normally. I had one person who paid with a card rant about how we'd better not round his purchase up. Uh, you're playing with a card? He was sure that rounding up would apply to cards as well as cash and we're not even rounding up on cash. I had one start ranting about how the coin shortage wasn't real and it was a conspiracy to control the sheeple of the US. One of our managers agreed after he left. I couldn't believe that. I'm dreading when we can only take exact change. They'll be upset about that, and then when they see that my drawer isn't totally devoid of coins (I'l be taking in exact change...) they'll start thinking conspiracy. Retail can be very unpleasant, and my store is actually more sane than say, a grocery store where people really come from all segments of the population...
Time to break that piggybank.
