[QUOTE="Aggiecollector, post: 871174, member: 19545"][b]Personal Best Find!!!!! Yeah baby![/b] I really have cut way down on roll searching. I was getting 7-8 boxes a week and making bank runs on Saturday's but I have scaled WAY back. Now I get 2-3 boxes a week and rely on my teller network instead of going on bank runs.
