7-11 Haul Part III Woohoo!

Lets go over this again. He did not hold those for me. He did the favor for the other guy. He did not go out of his way to hold those coins for me. I happened to ask at the right moment.

As for why he didnt cash them in himself, I have no idea. He knew enough to hold them for the guy. Dont know. Whatever the case may be, I did him the favor. He doesn't like dealing with halves and dollar coins. He has a couple hundred gold dollars I am going to take off his hands so he doesn't have to deal with them. It is a mutually beneficial set up.

As for my spnding money in the store not being seen by the manager. You really believe that? Have you no concept of how business works? Especially for managers? Every penny spent in a store DIRECTLY influences the pay of every person in the store.

More business results in immediate increases I BBC payroll hours, raise amounts, and especially for managers, bonuses. I am a retail manager. I know how it works and what I said is 100% accurate.

Nice haul SRD! Any good date/mm's in there? I see a 1936 on the top of the pile.

People only reward tellers in order to ensure they get more silver from them in the future. If it were a one-time score at an out of town bank and they knew they'd never be back, they wouldn't give anything in return

Awesome score!

okie, just to make sure, when I say gold dollars I mean Presidential and Sacs. Not REAL gold dollars LOL.

One last time. He did not do anything special for me. He did not collect these with the intent of turning them over to me. I just happened to ask the right questions at the right time. Now, if he does start collecting interesting stuff for me to get, THEN that would be a different matter. This however was simply another lucky hit for me.

My regular teller at the bank who orders boxes of halves for me and holds onto them even when I forget to pick them up; SHE is going to get a box of chocolates. Also remember that virtually every company out there has a policy in place against employees, especially management, accepting personal gifts. Something like a box of chocolates or donuts and coffee that the whole store/bank/department can share in, is about the only acceptable thing.

dave, really? You might want to clean your screen my friend. The oldest in the group was 41.

This is Part 3, I believe the OP posted that for part 1 and 2 he got some peace and morgans as well. So this is more than a one time thing.

dizzy, you act like a high handed moralist. I never said he was under any obligation to do anything. Never even insinuated it. As stamp points out, and as I said as well, the manager considers my taking the coins off of his hands to be doing him a favor. He does not want to deal with them and I save him the trouble. The attitude that I must show him some overwhelming sign of gratitude is ridiculous. You say he did me a 200.00 favor. You say that as if he handed me 200.00 dollars for no apparent reason. Not the case at all. He simply sold me the coins that he did not want to deal with that were taking up space in his safe. I did him a service and I profited from that. that is simple business. Both parties got a benefit from the relationship. Simple.

And it is not a matter of me acting like a spoiled child. It is me telling you to back off of telling me how I should conduct myself and preaching to me. I did not post this to get a flipping moral lecture from you or anyone else. Clear?

mkman, read the other posts again. The other two times were simply me getting lucky in seeing the coins in the register. Again, no one doing anything out of the ordinary. Just me keeping my eye out as I do EVERYWHERE I go. Just so happens this one 7-11 has been a three time winner for me. There are several 7-11s around here and I have pulled silver in one form or another from all of them. Just not as much as this one. I have also scored from a couple of banks. My wife, VACookey hit a major score at a bank here about a year ago. I will have her post a link to the thread about that one.

So dizzy, does this mean I have to go get a dozen gift cards and go hand them out to every clerk that has handed me coins out of their register?
