Just got PAID to buy lunch at Safeway

Went to the Safeway (grocery store) deli to buy lunch. At the last moment decided to pay with cash. The tab was $7.04. As the clerk gets my change, I hear "tinkling" instead of the usual "clunking". Looked down to see three silver quarters in my hand! The clerks saw me looking at them and said they had a bunch more that someone had paid with. Bought all they had: $5.50 total (even went out to my car for the last dollar's worth). The older of the two clerks (still in her 30's I'd say) even knew that they were silver and worth well over their face value.

I'm so STOKED!

Makes you wonder what idiot out there is raiding the silver stash to pay for lunch

 

Oh my! That is wonderful to see!

 

wow!

neat deal.

And a free lunch

 

Congrats on the score!! You are very very lucky. I had similar experience a few months back! I hope they did not already give any away before they got to you.

32 Walking Halves and a '64 quarter

I'm sorry for showing these coins off so much lol.

 

Good Work!

 

what? - NOT a "yeah right" or a "you want me to believe that?"

Amazing! I only get a silver quarter every eight months or so.

 

That quarter on the top looks to be in good shape from the angle too.

 

Thanks for all of the good words! I think the oldest one is 1941 and only a couple are 1964. Range from pretty good to fairly worn, but no slicks!

Why should I doubt him?

 

Nice finds! I havent gotten a silver coin in change for a few years now

 

I had one of those moments 5 or so years ago. Bought a coffee with a $5. Got my change and heard the sound of silver. Looked down and saw three silver quarters. Promptly pulled out a $10 and bough more quarters. Walked away with 8-9 silver quarters.

 

Or maybe it was an 80 year old widow scraping up what she can to eat this week

 

Neat!

 

I really need to start paying with cash.

 

Pretty much the main reason most of my small purchases are cash is to see what I get back in change.

I think some days I go buy things just to make change.

 

Maybe I'll just randomly go into grocery stores with a $20 and buy a pack of gum.

 

These were probably stolen by some stupid drug addicted teen.
