    was down at the shop this evening, waiting to pay at the tills, when i noticed some doll empty the contents of her purse, her purse!!!, into one of those coin counters that usally charge 9% plus, could have only been there for a few seconds before starting her shop

    could have counted it my self in a few minutes or less

    I ordered a pizza online cause I was too lazy to find my mobile or even to cook the nice dinner I had bought earlier.

    Tbh, I just wanted to brag about my newfound ability to order a pizza online.

    9%? Thats crazy stuff.

    Its amazing how much you get from all those coins that are laying about. I got 50 euro a few months back, had them all counted out in those bank bags, went into GAME and bought some new 360 game with it. The look on yer mans face when i plonked about 15 bags of change on the counter was great. I told them i'd counted it all and he didnt need to count them. Now that i think of it i could have taken a few euro out of one bag and nobody would ever have known...

    Tis too bad im no scumbag, but with this recession and all... I BAILED OUT THE BANKS.

    People want technology to make their life easier in every aspect of life so we can have more personal and quality time, it has nothing to do with laziness.

    Who wants to be spend 10 mins counting change, when you could have an extra 10 mins of quality time sitting on the couch watching TV.

    Some of those coin machines actually charge 9.5% commission.

    I use them on the odd occasion but just for the smaller coins like 1's 2's and 5 cents. The rest of the coin I bag and bring to the bank. A few times I have brought them into local shops and they are delighted to get these coins as it saves them a trip to the bank :)
