Moron with half of a $5 bill

[Sequoia]

I get this message on my wash phone:

"I put a soggy and very wrinkly $5 bill in your changer and your changer cut it in half. I got half the bill back and your changer has the other half. Tell you what-- just mail me $2.50 and I'll call it even."

I go to the wash, find the rear changer disabled, and take it apart. There I find part of a $5 bill but nowhere near half of it. So I call him back, and leave a message that he should take the bigger half of the $5 to a bank where they will exchange it for a regular $5. I'm told that as long as you have more than 50% of the bill they will do this.

Final update: he calls back and leaves another message: "Please mail my part of the $5 bill back. It's my property. I'll tape it to the other part and be able to use the $5 again."

Moral: you never know who, or what, is coming next!

Duane,

Another bit of info that backs up most of us long time self serve operators for coin usage along with larger denomination bills!

Of course there are those that will argue like that guy that 17x bill for every 1 coin is not shortchanging the United States budget to be made up somewhere else.
