When did change stop being recognized as money?

I had a H2O jug full of change, it was so heavy, I was unable to move it. I've been spending the change as I go. This morning, I stopped at the service counter of the grocery store I was going to shop at. I attempted to *sell* them some change.

I have a nice little system worked out here. Instead of rolling the coins, I have them in baggies in the denominations of the rolled coins. This way, merchant can see they are coins, and can count them. At the service desk, I was asking them to exchange twenty dollars in quarters, five dollars in dimes and two dollars in nickels. The teenager working the desk had to call somebody to ask if she could do this. WHAT??? The answer was No, change ain't money

OK, don't shoot the messenger. Who was that you were speaking with? I want to speak to them. So she calls them and tells them I want to talk to them. After a 5 min. wait another teen age looking person shows up, his shirt was all wrinkled and his tie was loose. Not to mention his pants were on his hips and needed to be pulled up. I asked him if he was the manager. He said yeah. I rolled my eyes and didn't even try to hide it. So I tried to explain, I was going to shop in the store AND i WAS GOING TO USE THE COIN CURRENCY, it's easier if I redeem it at the service desk. Thats our policy he said. We don't take change. HA! I laughed in his face, show me where that is written because change is money. I can pay with all pennies if I want to. He just walked away. Piss poor excuse of a manager.

So, I went to the deli counter and had two types of cheeses sliced. Then to the seafood counter and got shrimp and scallops. Not much, but stuff that would be hard to return to stock if they refused my coins at the register. I also got a bottle of contact lense solution and to the check out I went. I got in the line with an older
woman (close to my own age).

When it came to my turn to check out, I told her ahead of time I was paying by coins. She said *OK* with skepticism in her voice.The order came to $23.27. I gave her the two baggies of quarters and the dimes. She began counting them while I told her about what happened at the service desk. She shook her head and said I'm surprised they didn't text you a message, and I just took your change.......................

The moral of the story, there is no service at that service desk. I'm going to write an old fashioned complaint letter to the store manager. Change ain't money. My gosh, can you at least speak properly. UUUGH!
