<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2334282, member: 24633"]Things never change! In the mid-80's when I was a bartender on Ft. Myers Beach, we'd find foreign coins in bank rolls and the tip jars nearly every day. If the customers gave them to me as a tip, I never complained because the bottom line was for the bar to make money. I'd get coins from Europe (pre-Euro days), Central America, South America, Australia and even Africa.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did I say I never complained? Well, almost! The ones that really pissed me off were the damn Canadians when the discount rate was 32%. They'd drive down here in their $250K motorhomes and park in shopping center parking lots for a day or two before moving on to the next lot. They'd drive into an RV Park claiming that they wanted to check the place out, and when the park employee wasn't looking, they'd dump their waste tank. Yeah, these cheapskates would bring with them hundreds of rolls of Canadian quarters to salt into their everyday purchases during the 2-3 months of their stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
