Joe, I just went to a local bank near Wal-Mart and while there I asked about their change shortage. I had asked this same question about sixty days ago and was given the answer that the amount of change they were allowed to order each week was severely short of what they needed. Today when I asked the same question they said their shortage was over and that they had all the change they needed. In Wal-Mart I asked an employee at the self checkout areas if they had resolved their change problem yet. She said no and that everyone still has to use a credit card or go to the specific isle and that the bank that I went to might not be the one that Wal-Mart uses.
This led to another lively discussion and I can tell you one thing. Wal-mart doesn't want to resolve this situation because it gives them access to your cards and once again who controls Wal-Mart? China! Wal-Mart is setting you folks up. Wake up and stop drinking the kool aide.

I work for a bank and can tell you the shortage was very real. Based on the size of the bank determined how many boxed of quarters, dimes etc you could order. At a small bank each branch was limited to 1 box per denomination each week. We are now allowed to order 3 of each. The medium and large were allowed to order more but the supply was and still is very limited.
ReplyDeleteFamily dollar on snow hill rd is allowed 1 roll per denomination per day from PNC as of this week per one of their employees. There is no Wal-Mart conspiracy.
Yes it is real. But it has been created. There is zero reason a bank should not be able to order coins. My bank also told me recently they can now order what ever they want. It made the bankers eyes open for sure. Wake up people. Trump 20/20.
DeleteThis is interesting as I also have experienced several times at Walmart the so called "National Coin Shortage" Same thing at Food Lion but not quite as noticeable there. However, at Aldi's they have told me several times they do not have a coin shortage and have always received the correct change back when paying by cash (which I would prefer to do rather than use my credit card)
ReplyDeleteBut it's such a tasty drink!

ReplyDeletePenny for your thought.
Still not taking any wooden nickels.
Just my two cents worth!
Some retail employees probably can't figure out what change you should get back, so they want you to use your card. It's easier for them and less work.
ReplyDeleteBingo !
DeleteLook at the big picture here, folks. Metal coins have been being made and circulated since before all of us were born, and aside from the collector ones, still exist and last a WHOLE lot longer than paper currency, which needs to be thrown out and replaced on a regular basis, but not that danged often either.
ReplyDeleteThe "shortage" is a lie in order to bring us toward a cashless society so every transaction can be traced to the individual person. This is Government control of the population at it's finest, and the loss of our personal freedoms.
It's a LIE.
Correct!!! It's all BS and a plan to switch currencies.
DeleteAfter my recent visit to both Walmarts in Fruitland and North Salisbury, It will be the last place I will shop at only as a last resort!
ReplyDeleteIt has never been an enjoyable experience and it's worse now with lack to cashiers, and long lines at the self checkout!
Stores are dirty and a total mess!
Never anyone to assist you if you have a problem or question.

ReplyDeleteBINGO!
If your bill comes to $37.32 then give them $37 in paper cash and put the .32 on your credit card. They usually have to pay a percentage of the bill or sometimes even a flat fee per transaction so Walmart or whoever will usually end up paying more than they are credited. Maybe then they will remove the no cash system.
ReplyDeleteI work at a local bank and I can tell you there never was a problem getting coins. So perhaps the one above works for a national bank. We were allowed to order as many/much as we wanted.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Walmart, they get their coins from Brinks or La Guardia or such, maybe one of them had a shortage, but there wasn't a "national shortage" ever.
Blah Blah Blah
ReplyDeleteKool-aid shooters are awesome as well as jello based shooters.
Embrace the suck!
Look at the cashless society history of Greece
ReplyDeleteYou need to stock up on tin foil!! Don't use your credit card to buy it, though!
ReplyDelete7:06
ReplyDeleteAnd you can carry your cash on your person. The money on you debit card is in cyberspace and can be turned off remotely. Like electricity.
Hey, wait. They're trying to push us all on electric everything too, hum.
Have any of you ever thought that perhaps Walmart finds it just easier and faster if their cashiers don’t have to make change? Have you ever seen the look on the face on some of the cashiers when you opt to write a check?
ReplyDeleteHalf of these “children” do not know how to even write a check. Let’s face it....the lines move faster if the customer just swipes their card rather than sift thru their pocket or purse. Heaven forbid ....we all know that Salisbury Walmart needs faster lines as they would win the prize for the slowest checkout in several states.
Dude, you're the one drinking the kool aide. Why during a pandemic would a company want to expose their employees to something that changes hands constantly? And trust me, I am NOT a fan of Walmart aka welfare-mart since we have to pay for their employees healthcare.
ReplyDeleteJust another boomer who can't grasp credit card security. Check your statements if you're that worried about it, it isn't some massive loose change conspiracy ya nut
ReplyDeleteSmh, damn millennials. 9;11 seems to think it's about fraudulent charges. It's about gaining personal information of the credit or debit card user.
DeleteThe "shortage" has been going on for awhile this due to a good economy. People don't spend change they throw it in a bottle at home. It wasn't as noticeable to the general public until recently though.
ReplyDeleteThen the chinese virus attacked us and it slowed way down the circulation of coins because of things like public transpiration being shut down Public transportation is the most important factor when it comes to coins circulation. It really isn't a shortage but a circulation interruption.
Anyone been to Royal Farms on Rt 50 lately? They have signs that they "have NO CHANGE" You must use exact money or credit. If you don't have the exact change, they will round your bill UP to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to charity! A charity of their choice. And don't get me started on their self service cash registers! Don't work properly half the time and even when there are 9 people in line, patiently waiting, no one comes out from behind the office barrier to assist. And several people brought it to the attention of the 3 head back there that help was needed out front.
ReplyDeleteP.S.: Their chicken that day sucked! Dried out, over cooked and even though we didn't order the spicy chicken, there was spice on the chicken as all the chicken - spicy or not - are fried in the same oil. This wasn't the first time this has happened! Our last time ordering chicken from them.
Thanks for letting me rant!
Walmart is controlled by China. When you shop at Walmart?? You're helping the Chinese communist party.
ReplyDeleteWhy and how do you think Walmart is controlled by china? The factories walmart has in china are owned by walmart. No different then a german company like bmw which has a factory in the states. Doesnt mean bmw is owned by the United States just cause they have a factory in it. True idiots.
Delete10:29 you're the idiot. When Obama let all these AMERICAN businesses leave AMERICA to open in China. The Chinese government made them give them access to their entire business model. They couldn't wipe their ass without you permission.They essentially gave China access to how they do business in China and the United States. Hell Google refused to help our own Military with certain applications. But they have no problem helping the communist Chinese Military. Go to Walmart Einstein and look at every product you pull from the shelves. It will say MADE IN CHINA DUMBASS.
DeleteWhen you obtuse moronic slaves get done jaw jacking about stuff you have the power and ability to fix but refuse, I can offer you a solution to why that is!!!! The govt used BIG CORPS like Wal-mart and the like to force you people to implement their draconian feel good crap on you people... There is no laws about mask, but wal-mart said it would be mandatory to go into their store with a mask, then after a few days of backlash they said you can go in with no mask and no one can deny you service!!! But you don't see them going back on TV saying this so you slaves can hear it for yourself!!! There is no coin shortage and if there is one, the govt is crating it, and when you have wal-mart and BIG CORPS lie that forcing you to use cards, that is how the govt gets their socialism and communism forced on the people, becasue the corps do it for them!!!! Where are you goign to go, when all stores do this to you??? exactly, but you retards don't think about that!!! They are pushing this so you they force AI and digital currency on you so you will be tracked 100% of the time for the rest of your life, ids life and grand kids life... And anyone after will never know what freedom was!!!! You will see, you will understand clearly when you can't go into a store or buy anything becasue your social score like china has is bad, when your elevator won't open to your apartment floor becasue your score is bad you will see!! They are already doing this and have been for years in to the airports, you know those doors that go one way and lock when it detects stuff, or someone shoots or does anything or says anything??? It will be like minority report, soon as you walk into a store it knows who you are and blast you with ads... You all think your cards all that but how convenient is it, when the ATM or bank machines are broken? When the gas pump or where you pay inside a store machine is broken???? What are you going to do when the power goes out and you can't use a machine???? What are you going to do when your bank, like mine goes 100% teller-less and no one to talk to??? It is all machines!!! What are you goign to do when your kiosk you order food at is broken or have to wait for someone to come fix it??? Had that happen to me already and its not 100% digital yet!!!! You people don't understand but you will, soon enough when you are tracked 100% by your money!!! You will see!!!! But keep on wearing yuor masks!!!!
ReplyDeleteWalmart wants you to use your card because they track what you buy.
ReplyDeleteOne day I logged on to my walmart.com and everything I got in the store populated on my profile because I paid by credit card
OH and by the way, when I use the self checkout I give the camera the finger, every single time.
I am very curious about this coin shortage. It started at a time when folks couldn’t spend money except online and a handful of mega stores.
ReplyDeleteThe guy that wrote this article needs to only come out of the basement if he’s wearing his aluminum foil helmet!
ReplyDeleteI also work for a bank and can tell you that we went a few weeks without receiving a coin shipment. Each bank uses their own company and each company has their own storage vault. So I would imagine the severity of the shortage would depend on what company you used. We never got a to a sever low where we had no coin, but it was substantially lower for about a month or so.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Walmart goes, I can't speak to that. But I would imagine with the pull Walmart holds, if they wanted coin they would have it by now.

Not really sure what half of this means, but I assume you have a computer or cell phone if you are typing on this board. That means the government can already track you. Why would they need to track through money when there are plenty of options that are already used daily?
