Pittsburg, Kansas | One big problem for retailers is the cash register machine drawers. If you give them a two dollar bill or a SBA dollar or any other denomination that is weird, they have no slot to put it in. The drawers are made to handle pennies, dimes, and quarters. Ones, fives, ten and twenty dollar bills. 50 cent pieces are also a problem. Used to be 100's were so rare they was no need for a slot in the drawer. Now I carry several in my billfold all the time. A hundred dollar bill today is kind of like a 20 was when my parents got married and that is what they had to start out their new life on. A twenty dollar bill. Or maybe more like a 5 or 10.
All the weird stuff, bills and coins, gets put under the cash drawer tray or thrown together and rarely gets used as change to another customer.
At the Mall Delli resturant in Pittsburg there is a little cup for spare change. It always has about 50 to 100 pennies in it and sometimes nickles and once in a while a dime. The pennies are so worthless people don't even bother keeping them. I always either drop a few in or take a few out so I never get pennies in change so less to carry in my pocket.
If pennies were gotten rid of it could open up a slot for SBA dollars.
Nobody likes change. Kind of like the Possum Lodge pledge on the Red Green TV show.
