<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1530334, member: 22476&quot;]Okay, yesterday, I bought two new pairs of pants at the local Walmart, and spent $20 in halves, and a $2 bill (No, I didn&#039;t wear out the pockets in my old pairs of pants, carrying all of those halves around. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) I told the cashier &quot;I&#039;m using halves&quot; and she said &quot;Wow, I&#039;ve never seen these before&quot; (and she looked like an older woman, so I found it hard to believe that she had never seen halves before) so I asked her &quot;You&#039;ve never seen halves?&quot; and she said, &quot;Oh, no. I&#039;ve seen halves. I&#039;ve just never seen them wrapped like this before&quot; (the halves were in those private store bought wrappers) so she tore the roll down the side (I wonder if she was looking for silver) and counted them and said &quot;There is only $9.50 here in this one roll&quot; and I said &quot;Whoa! I thought I got it right. I counted them twice before rewrapping them&quot; and then she looked at the roll wrapper and said &quot;Oh wait, there was one still stuck in the roll&quot; Then she put some of the halves in the half slot, which also had a few spare coin rolls in it, so she had to put some of the halves in with the quarters. Then I asked the BIG question: &quot;Would you please try to put some of these halves into circulation?&quot; I&#039;m trying to promote the use of halves and $2 bills&quot; and she said &quot;I&#039;m going to try to&quot; and I said, &quot;You will probably get mixed reactions. Some people like them. Some people hate them&quot; and she said &quot;Yep, I know&quot; And I said, &quot;Well, thanks for your help&quot; and then I left. But seeing those spare rolls of coins and other junk in the slot intended for halves just bummed me out a little bit. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second place was a pizza place, where I spent another $20 in halves, and I told the cashier &quot;I am using halves, because I am trying to promote the use of halves and $2 bills&quot; and the cashier said &quot;Okay, let me get your order&quot; Then I asked her the BIG question: Will you try to put some of these out into circulation?&quot; and she said &quot;We probably will&quot; and I said &quot;Thanks&quot; took my order and left.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third place I spent $5 in halves at, was a fast food place where I bought two chocolate shakes, and I did not even bother asking them about putting the halves into circulation, because, all they ever tell me at that place is &quot;No, we usually ship them all back to the bank unless somebody buys them off us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, before all of you &quot;anti-half&quot; people go jumping on me, let me be the first to say that I KNOW that these cashiers &quot;could&quot; have more than likely been telling me that they would put the halves I gave them into circulation, just to get me to &quot;shut my yap&quot; and leave, and get me out of their hair. I AM well aware of that. So, if there are any jackasses that want to make smart aleck remarks about this post or topic in general, I figure I will have saved you the trouble by posting this paragraph in this message.</p><p><br /></p><p>But lastly, I will say. At least &quot;I&quot; am trying to do something about the problem of halves and $2 bills not circulating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
