I Found A Way To Help Out During The Shortage Of Change

there was a post that I think got moved to the general discussion area, the one that started with "a penny for your thoughts", change becoming difficult (I'm paraphrasing) to obtain. I can't remember if I replied to it, but I went back to find it and it had been moved.

anyway, that same night I rolled out at my usual time to go feed my several street kitties & hunt for lost money. while I was at the circle k convenience store getting my nightly coffee I noticed they had posted a sign stating they had run out of change (coins). I inquired. I was told they can't get their usual huge batches of rolled coins from their bank; that's when I recalled the post about "penny for your thoughts...". the guy who works nights on the weekends is a buddy, so he filled me in. after I paid for my coffee I told him i'd be back shortly with rolls of coins, which I did, sold him $90 in mostly pennies, nickels & dimes. I had sold $100 in quarters to a friend who uses quarters for laundry in his building only last week.

I've been hitting up my other friends who let me search their stashes of coins from time to time. I told them why I'm trying to locate & purchase stashes of coins, telling them I'm a better alternative to lugging their stashes to a coinstar. I come to them, search & count & wrap coins, pay them & run off. easy peasy. I save them that 9.5% charge, too.

i score a lot of cool stuff (coins) from circle k, so I felt like I ought to help them out if I could. I've been trying to help out by locating coins & bringing them what I can. I'm not doing a whole lot else that's terribly important. feels good to lend a hand wherever I can. gotta keep that good juju flowing, you know? I don't want my occasional great finds to be interrupted by bad juju brought on by my not helping where I could. gotta keep that discovery stream active & fresh.

just trying to help is all.
