EmmyOk posted:My most recalled memories are the incredibly embarrassing things I did in my teens that haunt me every moment awake or not so I'm glad they're mainly false. Can't believe mam made me wear those shoes to that disco... Unfortunately I wrote everything down in diaries from the time I was 7 until I was about 19, so my worst memories probably really happened. On the bright side, my best ones probably did too.  chitoryu12 posted:In 11th grade, there was a girl in Drama Club who pissed off virtually everyone (including all of her existing friends) through really lovely behavior. She decided that the appropriate way to deal with this was to dramatically fall, lightly knock her head on the ground, and wake up claiming total amnesia of the entirety of high school. This sounds absolutely hilarious. I was in drama club for two years of middle school and all four years of high school, and unfortunately either everyone was super normal or we were all just equally weird.

My journal ran from about 16 (lost the 12-15 bit in the death of an old Mac LC) to when I finally realized I was doing myself more harm than good at about 32. I don't want to just delete it because it's literally the only reason I remember a lot of my early 20s, but I'll be goddamned if I ever go back and read the thing except for looking up specific dates of a Metallica concert or when I dated a certain person or whatever. Because I wrote it all down, I can't forget it even if I want to, but I tended towards at least mild exaggeration and incredible arrogance for a lot of it, so I'm not actually positive sometimes what actually happened underneath Younger TK's rewriting of history to make herself look better.

I still keep one, but now it's more just stuff to get off my mind before I go to bed so I"m not ruminating on it all night. The earlier ones are batshit insane. I think if I die I need someone to just burn all of them for me.

I always tried to keep diaries but nothing interesting ever got written in them and I always ended up giving up on them after about a week.

This whole article reads like STDH ("I was a middle-school trolling master who spread lies about a forgettable 90s cartoon show that now everyone believes is true!") but he's got just enough stuff about his original posts that make me go "well... maybe?" I think the thing is, maybe it's true that he made up a bunch of poo poo on old TV-Tropes-style websites just for shiggles, but now he's using a puppetmaster defense to explain how he was OMG totally actually conducting a giant social experiment all along.

Written by someone who also believes that it's the law to sell things to someone if they have the money. I refused to sell booze to customers who tossed a baggie of nickels and pennies down on the counter. I don't have time for that! No one does!

Doesn't basically every single supermarket and also Walmart have one of those Coinstar machines and has for probably the last decade or more? Where you would almost definitely send anyone trying to use a large amount of change instead of playing along with their dumb joke.

ReidRansom posted:Doesn't basically every single supermarket and also Walmart have one of those Coinstar machines and has for probably the last decade or more? Where you would almost definitely send anyone trying to use a large amount of change instead of playing along with their dumb joke. Coinstar takes something like 15%. True story: My sister and I once hauled bags of rolled coins to the bank for deposit. It totaled $631.50. The teller stacked all the coins in a box. A young guy comes over to take it. She tells him to put it on the cart because it will be too heavy. He smiled, said "I got this" and started to walk away when the bottom of the box failed. Coins went everywhere. We left.

In most countries you don't have to accept small change for large payments, like someone trying to pay a $20 total in pennies or 5c coins. Similarly you don't have to accept large notes for small payments, like a $100 note for a 30c payment. Hence why most places will tell you to gently caress off if you do that.

You don't have to in the US, for that matter. Khazar-khum posted:Coinstar takes something like 15%. I feel like I remember it being lower, like ~7% last time I used one, but that was probably over a decade ago.

I've heard a rumor that if you sneakily pull the ethernet cable out of a Coinstar machine, it won't be able to surcharge you, since it can't connect to the internet.

Specifically in Australia, according to the RBA:quote:coins are legal tender for payment of amounts which are limited as follows: With the added bit of "so long as you haven't entered into the contract you can refuse to take whatever", so businesses are free to say "we don't accept 1c/2c/5c coins/$100 notes here" if they haven't already performed the service being paid for. Most vending machines, for example, refuse 5c coins and $50/$100 notes outright and this is perfectly legal. e: some places weigh coins to figure out their value (eg, Xg of 5c coins = $Y) which causes all sorts of hilarity when the metal composition changes ever so slightly. When they come into banks the older coins are usually removed from circulation but they can float around for ages without anyone noticing as they look virtually identical aside from the date side. This is how many self checkout systems work. We recently rolled out !!!NEXT GENERATION!!! $5 notes which are slightly different to the old school $5 notes in dimensions etc. For quite a while older self checkout systems wouldn't accept them until updated. It will happen again when the new gen $10 comes out soon and again when the $20, $50, and $100 come out. My brother works in a casino and has great fun weighing and totalling bagloads of coins. e2: also we've had polymer notes since like the 80s while I'm reliably informed the US still uses paper/cloth

There's serious debate here about getting rid of the 5c coin. We haven't had 1c or 2c in circulation since before I was born. I think NZ has already gotten rid of their 5c?

The point I was making is that at a place like Walmart or Target or really any big retail chain, they'd probably just fire you if you refused to serve a customer. I had a paranoid racist weirdo chew me out for reading her phone number back to her to confirm that I had it right. There was a black woman waiting behind her and weirdo kept glancing back and inching away. Yeah, I'm sure she's gonna steal your identity with your fuckin' phone number, you goddamn nut. You can't even ask a customer like that to leave even when they are visibly making other customers uncomfortable.
